+<h1>Keynote Speakers Announced for the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit - the first
+co-located Akademy and GUADEC conferences</h1>
+
+<p>
+The GNOME Foundation and KDE e.V. are excited to announce the keynotes for the
+first ever co-located Akademy and GUADEC, the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit. The
+Desktop Summit, a conference for users and developers of desktop and mobile
+technologies, is expecting 1000 desktop technology developers and users. The
+conference agenda includes over 100 talks as well as BOFs keynote sessions,
+lightning talks and many opportunities to meet other developers and begin
+collaborating between projects.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Desktop Summit will take place July 3-11, 2009 in the Alfredo Kraus
+Auditorium and the Palacio de Congresos in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. The venue
+has facilities for 1000+ people to attend keynotes and multiple simultaneous
+tracks with plenty of room for an exhibition area and hacking space.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Free Software is highly valued on the Canary Islands. Hence, the Gran Canaria
+Desktop Summit 2009 is supported by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, the local
+government, that has provided much logistical and financial support.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Current confirmed keynotes are:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Richard Stallman, Free Software Foundation</li>
+ <li>Walter Bender, Executive Director, Sugar Labs</li>
+ <li>Robert Lefkowitz (known as "r0ml"), Distinguished Engineer of the ACM</li>
+ <li>Jakub Pavelek, Nokia</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The keynotes were chosen to inspire conference attendees and to encourage
+collaboration. Over the past few years, GNOME and KDE have been cooperating in
+order to make choices and application development easier for end users,
+distributors and ISVs. An increased amount of technology is shared between the
+desktop, making cross-desktop application integration easier. By holding their
+annual developer flagship events in the same location, KDE and GNOME will foster
+cooperation and discussion between their developer communities.  In addition
+many other desktop technology groups have expressed interest in attending and we
+expect to have participants from many technology projects that touch on the open
+source desktop and mobile space.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Desktop Summit welcomes all users and contributors of Desktop Summit and
+expects attendees from the GNOME and KDE communities as well as related projects
+and companies that use desktop technologies.
