<strong>GUADEC 2010 to be held in The Hague, Netherlands</strong>
|
|
<small>(30/11/2009)</small>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
The GNOME Foundation is excited to announce that GUADEC 2010 will be
|
|
held in The Hague, Netherlands July 24th-30th, 2010. The conference
|
|
is expected to draw more than 500 attendees to discuss and direct the
|
|
future of the GNOME Project. The Hague was one of several locations
|
|
proposed for GUADEC in 2010. It was chosen in part due to the
|
|
excellent facilities at the bid site, as well as easily accessible
|
|
site for those traveling to GUADEC. Read the <a
