Hello everyone,
GUADEC 2016 will be held for the first time in Karlsruhe, Germany. The conference will be held on August 12th-14th, with a day of workshops beforehand, and 3 days of BoFs and hackfests after.
GUADEC brings together GNOME users and developers for discussion and debate of current topics, including:
* Design of the user and developer experiences
* Integration of the operating system plumbings into the core UX
* Application development and deployment
* Use of GNOME technologies outside of the desktop
* Outreach to new contributors
* Organisation and governance of the project
Talk proposals outside these categories are also welcome, provided that they are relevant or inspirational to the GNOME community.
You will be able to chose between a short (approximately 25 minute) and long (approximately 45 minute) talk slot when submitting your proposal.
The call for talks will have the following timeline:
1. Wednesday, April 27th: deadline for submitting your talk proposals through guadec.org
2. Friday, May 8th: speakers will be notified if their talk has been accepted
3. August 12-14th: core conference days in Karlsruhe, Germany
Please submit your proposals before April 27th through the online submission system available on the GUADEC website:https://registration.guadec.org
Talk proposals will be reviewed by the papers team between April 28th and May 4th.
A separate call for lightning talks, birds of a feather sessions and hackfests will be made later.
The papers team is looking forward to your talk proposal. In case of questions regarding the call for talks, please contact the papers team at guadec-papers gnome org. For general questions regarding the conference, please consult the GUADEC web site or contact the local GUADEC organizing team.
