Hi all,
The GNOME Foundation would like to invite bids for hosting GUADEC 2018.
GUADEC is the biggest gathering of GNOME users and developers, which takes place in Europe every year, and you could make it happen next year!
If you are interested in submitting a bid, you can talk to the Foundation Board and previous GUADEC organizers to find out more about what is involved.
The deadline for bid submission will be the 4th of June by e-mail to
foundation-announce gnome org and board-list gnome org. Bids should
Your bid should demonstrate that:
- The location is easily accessible by plane or train
- You have a motivated local team with a few core members, preferably with experience in event organization
- A good venue is available to host the event
- There are affordable accommodations and places to eat
- There is local industry and government support
Bids from previous years are available for reference[1]. While organizing a conference such as GUADEC is a huge undertaking, people from the GNOME community have been there before you and will be there to help. You can find more information at
https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/HowTo, including an overview of the sorts of things you should include in the proposal.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Foundation board at board-list gnome org.
Best,
Nuritzi
