+<h1>GUADEC 2008 to be held in Istanbul, Turkey</h1>
+<p>
+BOSTON, MassâFebruary 28, 2008âGUADEC, the annual GNOME conference will be held in
+Istanbul, Turkey from the 7th to the 12th of July 2008. The conference
+will bring together the GNOME development and user community and key
+personalities from businesses and governments, to discuss the future
+direction of the GNOME project.
+</p><p>
+Now in its 9th year, the conference has grown every year from its humble
+beginnings to become a fixture in the calendar of the leading lights of
+the Free Software desktop development community, and an important
+meeting place between industry and community. This year, over 500 people
+are expected to gather in Turkey for the conference, whose theme will be
+<em>Designing the User Interface for Freedom</em>.
+</p><p>
+âThe GNOME Project does not stand on its feet by only its technical
+merits but also with its communal entity. Thousands of people from
+different cultures improve it every day.â said BarÄÅ ÃiÃek, the lead
+organizer of GUADEC this year, âNowhere in the world would be
+able summarize this but Istanbul, which has been the melting pot of
+cultures for centuries.â
+</p><p>
+Among the keynote speakers who will be present at the conference are
+Matt Webb, co-author of <em>Mind Hacks</em> and a leading user experience
+designer, Eric Sink, a renowned blogger and software development
+business entrepreneur, and Leisa Reichelt, a London-based expert in
+interaction design and user experience research.
+</p><p>
+The call for participation in the conference is now open, and will close on March 30th.
+A variety of presentations and session can be proposed.
+âEmerging GNOME trends set the dialog at GUADEC.  It was Online Desktop last year,
+and GNOME Mobile the year before that.â  said the program
+chair, Behdad Esfahbod, âWe are excited to see what the community
+brings to GUADEC this year.â
+</p><p>
+As with last year, the conference will have three tracks:
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>Catwalk:</strong> Showcasing the best and most exciting applications that the
+GNOME community has to offer</li>
+ <li><strong>Topaz:</strong> Identifying the diamonds in the rough that will form the basis
+for the next generation of the free software desktop</li>
+ <li><strong>Tangle:</strong> Community and governance issues, and tough technical issues,
+will be considered, attacked and resolved</li>
+</ul>
+</p><p>
+See the <a href="http://www.guadec.org";>GUADEC website</a> for more
+more information about the conference, to register, and to submit proposals.
