We’re happy to announce that the 2016 edition of GUADEC will be held

in Karlsruhe, Germany from August 12–14, at the Karlsruhe Institute of

Technology, a world-renowned research and educational institution.

Karlsruhe is located in southtwest Germany near the Franco-German

border and is nicknamed the “fan city” because its streets are built

radially around the palace tower. This beautiful and historic city is

also home to the two highest courts in Germany, and several of

Germany’s intitutions of higher learning.

GUADEC is the annual conference of the GNOME community, held in Europe

since 2000. GNOME is a free software project which drives user

interfaces of many GNU/Linux-powered devices, ranging from smartphones

to laptops and personal media centers. GUADEC is the world's largest

gathering of users and developers who are involved with the free

desktop and mobile user interfaces. GUADEC is expected to draw

hundreds of attendees who will discuss and direct the future of the

GNOME project. Developers, artists, translators, users, and

representatives from government, education, and businesses, and anyone

else who shares an interest are welcome.
