The GNOME Foundation is excited to announce that the call for participation or CfP for GUADEC 2020 is now open. Proposals can be submitted on the event page: https://events.gnome.org/e/guadec2020

GUADEC, the GNOME community’s largest conference, is taking place between the 22nd – 28th of July and will be held in Zacatecas, Mexico.  The GNOME Foundation is looking for talks on a wide range of topics including but not limited to:

  • Application development
  • Privacy and security
  • Community and team building
  • Design of user and developer experience
  • Use of GNOME technologies outside the desktop
  • Newcomers initiatives 
  • Project planning and governance

The first day, the 22nd of July, will be called “GNOME Open Day”. The GNOME Foundation is looking for proposals for this day, in particular, that will focus on local outreach, governance, and getting more people involved in the Zacatecas region. These talks should be meant for new GNOME users. We also welcome talks on this day to be given in both Spanish and English to make them more accessible for locals. 

Talk submissions are due by the 31st of March: https://events.gnome.org/event/1/abstracts/

Additional updates about GUADEC 2020 can be found on the event website and social media channels. Press inquiries and questions regarding the event can be sent to: guadec@gnome.org

We hope to see you in Zacatecas!
