> And it's extremely good fun to hang out with all the GNOME rockstars.
> Last year, some of the GSoC students were able to attend GUADEC and it
> was really fun and useful. Meeting your mentor, some people interested
> in your project and other community members has a positive impact on
> your work. Showing what you already achieved is also fantastic to get
> some good feedback.

> So it's probably a good thing for the students of this year's GSoC to
> attend GUADEC, if possible. We talked with GUADEC organizers, and they
> support the idea. While there's no guarantee, it's possible that you
> can get a sponsorship to attend GUADEC, if you need it. Our budget is
> limited, but we'll do our best. Please see the earlier sent mail by
> Germán for details. Of course, attending GUADEC is not mandatory. ;)
>
> We've also been allocated a slot for student lightning talks. These are
> short presentations (5, 10 or 15 minutes, to be decided) where each
> student gets the opportunity to present his/her work. It's also a good
> way to get a lot of interest (and become, like we promised, our next
> rockstar ;)). All of this still has to be organized though, more on
> that later.

> So, we'd like to know if you'd like to attend the conference. Please
> show us some love and reply to this mail asap so we can know about your
> plans wrt GUADEC. Also, please do not forget to apply for sponsorship if
