+<h1>Desktop Summit 2011 to be held in Berlin, Germany</h1>
+
+<p>
+BOSTON, Mass, July 30, 2010 â?? GNOME and KDE are teaming up again to
+host the 2011 Desktop Summit in Berlin, Germany. Due to the success of
+the 2009 Desktop Summit the projects will co-locate GUADEC and Akademy
+once again in August, 2011 for the largest free software desktop event
+ever.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The 2009 Desktop Summit was a fantastic opportunity for the leaders of
+the free software desktop community to share talks, address common
+issues, and build relationships between the communities with combined
+social events.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The 2011 Desktop Summit will build on the first Summit's success. More
+than 1,000 contributors from more than 50 countries are expected to
+attend the 2011 event in Berlin. In addition to members of the GNOME
+and KDE development community, the conference will also attract many
+participants in the overall FLOSS community from local projects,
+organizations, and companies.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"We are looking forward to the Desktop Summit. GUADEC is our community's
+opportunity to meet in person and we are glad to be able to have our KDE
+colleagues as part of our conversations and our celebrations." says
+Stormy Peters, Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation. "Berlin is a
+great city with a very strong free software community. C-base, KDE and
+GNOME will make a great team!"
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Berlin was one of several locations proposed for the Desktop Summit in
+2011. It was chosen due to the excellent facilities at the conference
+site, the strong presence of KDE and GNOME communities in the area,
+the strength of the organizing team, and an easily accessible site for
+those traveling to the Desktop Summit. Both communities are very
+excited about holding the Desktop Summit 2011 in Berlin!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"Berlin is a fantastic city with strong ties to both the KDE and GNOME
+communities as well as free software in general," says Cornelius
+Schumacher, vice president of KDE e.V. "The KDE community is excited
+to meet again with the GNOME community to hold the second Desktop
+Summit there. This is going to be one of the main free software events
+of the year 2011."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Berlin team consists of Claudia Rauch of KDE e.V., Caspar Clemens
+Mierau of Ubuntu and c-base, and Mirko Boehm of KDE, and is strongly
+supported by the city of Berlin. With their ties into both the Gnome
+and KDE communities, the team well represents the idea of a joint
+Desktop Summit.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+"We are honored and proud that our proposal was selected. What we look
+forward to the most is the inspiration our communities will draw from
+having the Desktop Summit together again, but also from visiting our
+bustling, welcoming city. We would like to thank all the supporters
+of the proposal, and will work hard to make the conference a big success."
+says Mirko Boehm.
+</p>
