Yes, that’s right, the host city of GUADEC 2017 has been announced as Manchester, which means two things. First and foremost, this means that the GNOME 3.26 desktop environment release will be dubbed Manchester, because of the new codenaming method implemented last year during the GUADEC 2015 event. And, if you haven’t already guessed, it also means that GUADEC 2017 will be held in Manchester, UK (United Kingdon), where GNOME developers, contributors, and users can gather together to lay down the plans and information needed for unleashing one of the best releases of the popular and widely-used desktop environment for Linux OSes.
