“The Desktop Summit is a co-located event which features the
yearly contributor conferences of the GNOME and KDE communities,
GUADEC and Akademy. Next year the conference will take place from 6
to 12 August, 2011 in the city center of Berlin at the Humboldt
University, Unter den Linden. The event will feature keynotes,
talks, workshops and team building events.“Desktop Summit
“The GNOME and KDE communities develop the majority of Free
Software desktop technology. Increasingly, they cooperate on
underlying infrastructure. By holding their annual developer
flagship events in the same location, the two projects hope to
foster collaboration and discussion between their developer
communities. Furthermore, KDE and GNOME aim to work more closely
with the rest of the desktop and mobile open source community. The
summit presents a unique opportunity for all of us to work together
and improve the free and open source desktop for all.”
