The GUADEC Call for Participation is officially open.
This year the conference will be held in Zacatecas, Mexico from the 22nd to the 28th of July, and we encourage each of you to submit a proposal to share your ideas and experience with the GNOME project and the wider open source community.
Being an existing member of the GNOME foundation isn’t required to submit a talk; in fact, we actively encourage non-members to submit proposals! If you have something interesting to say about software or technology, we want to hear from you!
Subjects that we’re particularly interested in include:
1- Application development and deployment
2- Privacy and security
3- Community building and diversity
4- Design of user and developer experiences
5- Use of GNOME technologies outside the desktop
6- Encouraging new contributors
7- Project organization and governance
8- Use of GNOME by users
9- GNOME Open Day
That being said, if there is another subject that you would like to talk about, we would still love to receive your submission. Talks can be either 25 or 50 minutes in length, which includes time for questions.
You can find more information for proposals in:https://events.gnome.org/event/1/abstracts/#submit-abstract
The BoFs/workshop and hacking days wiki will be updated with more details in the upcoming weeks.
If you have questions for talks, please contact the GUADEC organizing team: guadec@gnome.org or reply here
