GUADEC 2016 will be in Karlsruhe

GUADEC – the GNOME User and Developer European Conference – 2016 will be held in Karlsruhe in Germany, the GNOME Foundation has announced.

GUADEC brings together hundreds of users and developers every year to further the GNOME project. It is anticipated that GUADEC 2016 will take place around July-August and the definitive dates will be finalised over the next few months.

Karlsruhe is Germany’s sunniest city and has excellent transport links. In addition, Karlsruhe combines a strong sense of science and technology with a penchant for creativity and design. The city hosts four higher education institutions that offer degrees related to computer science, so efforts will be made by GUADEC’s organisers to reach out to the local student population.
