Saturday, 12.06.2010, Berlin II, 10:00-11:00 Uhr

Come learn about GNOME, your desktop, and the community behind it. Learn how new things are added, how decisions are made and how users can get involved.

GNOME is being used for desktops, netbooks and phones. Come see what the GNOME community is planning for GNOME 3.0 and learn how you are a part of that planning process.

The GNOME community is an extensive community of 1,000s of developers, many companies and millions of users. As we develop new features and versions, all of those people participate. Their participation leads the product in different ways from full featured Linux desktops to GNOME operating systems aimed at netbooks and tablets like MeeGo to GNOME in mobile devices like Vodaphone 360 M1.

Come learn how these multiple directions are making GNOME a better user interface for you.
