GUADEC 2010 GNOME developer training: July 26 - 27, 2010, The Hague, The Netherlands

 Get Linux wings!

The GNOME Developer Training sessions at GUADEC are designed to give
experienced software developers the tools that they need to get the
most out of developing free software in an open community.

This
two-day course includes a hands-on practical session and a detailed
social overview of community development. You'll learn how to get your
work upstream and how to influence the direction of upstream projects.

Covering
common Linux development tools, the GNOME and FreeDesktop.org
development platform and the social dynamics of contributing to
community projects, this course will put extra tools into your
developer's toolbox.
