software conferences Akademy and GUADEC. This year, the Desktop
Summit will take place from August 6-12, 2011 in Berlin at the
Humboldt University. The event will feature keynotes, talks,
workshops and social activities.

“The GNOME and KDE communities develop the majority of Free
Software desktop technology. Increasingly, we cooperate on
underlying infrastructure. By holding our annual contributor
meeting in the same location, we hope to foster further
collaboration and discussion between our communities.”
