</h3>
<p><b>Free software luminaries, open source developers gather to advance the next
generation of the multi-platform desktop environment</b></p>
<pre>
BOSTON, Mass. February 18, 2003 The fourth annual GNOME User and
Developer European Conference (GUADEC), will bring developers, GNOME
Foundation leaders and individual, business and government GNOME users to
Dublin, Ireland June 16-18, 2003. The conference is a unique forum for
highlighting the capabilities and direction of GNOME, the user environment
for desktops, networked servers and portable Internet devices. GUADEC will
also feature meaningful discussions of the future direction of GNOME
development. GUADEC 2003 will feature a comprehensive set of tutorials that
will benefit IT leaders, developers and deployers of GNOME.
GUADEC has quadrupled in attendance over the past three years, drawing
GNOME developers, industry, government and education IT leaders and GNOME
enthusiasts from every corner of the world, said Timothy Ney, GNOME
Foundation executive director. GUADEC is a unique event that brings the
people who are creating GNOME together to discuss and demonstrate their work
and to build roadmaps for future development. Pair these developers with IT
leaders from every sector and you get the electric environment that is
GUADEC.
GUADEC is being held June 16-18, 2003 at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.
The program will boast a stellar lineup of speakers, from GNOME leaders to
IT industry movers and shakers. Additional information on GUADEC can be
found at www.guadec.org.
GUADEC is an opportunity to bring developers, who have worked with one
another virtually for months and/or years, together in one place. Miguel
de Icaza, president of the GNOME Foundation and CTO and co-founder, Ximian,
Inc. said. It gives us a chance to meet with the very people who are
deploying GNOME. GUADEC gives us a chance to discuss the future of GNOME
and set the overall strategy and direction of GNOME for the next year.
