| GNOME plans October Boston summit |
Sep. 21, 2006
 The GNOME development will host its sixth Boston Summit Oct. 7-9 at the MIT Media Lab. The Boston Summit is a three-day "hackfest" for GNOME developers and contributors, the team said on its website.
The event is not primarily aimed at end-users or new contributors, the spokesman said, "but if you want to jump right into the deep end, it's a fantastic way to meet everyone and get involved."
The Boston Summit is all about getting developers together and getting things done, the spokesman said. While there are some non-hacking sessions, they are geared heavily toward many-to-many, interactive discussion and planning, rather than one-to-many presentations, he said.
Plans and schedule
The GNOME Summit is an interactive event. Organizers are asking participants to:
- Propose a hackfest or BOF session if you've got a project to hack on or a plan to put in motion. Add your suggestion here;
- Participate in an embedded hackfest, scheduled for Oct. 5 and 6 -- the two days before the Summit -- for developers working on mobile, handheld, and embedded platform/software;
- Join an accessibility summit Sunday, Oct. 8 for developers working on GNOME accessibility;
- Come to a Text Layout summit Oct. 7 and 8 for developers of Pango, Qt, ICU, Graphite, fontconfig, fonts, and related technologies.
