GNOME will be very present at FOSDEM 2012. The Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM) is a major two-day event organized by volunteers to promote the widespread use of Free and Open Source software. It happens every year in Brussels, Belgium.

GNOME will have a booth at FOSDEM this year, with T-Shirts for sale, stickers and more. GNOME developers will be available to answer questions and will be demonstrating the latest GNOME technologies. GNOME community members will also be attending FOSDEM including Karen Sandler, the executive director of the GNOME Foundation, as well as members of the GNOME Release Team.

There are going to be many talks about GNOME, covering topics ranging from new technologies, community organization and design. Most of these talks will be held in the Cross-Desktop Devroom (H 1308). Here are some of them:
