Boston Summit 2008

The 8th annual Boston Summit will be held on Columbus Day Long Weekend (October 11-13) in Boston, MA, USA at the MIT Sloan.

The Boston Summit is a three-day hackfest for GNOME developers and contributors. It is not primarily aimed at users or new contributors, but if you want to jump right into the deep end, it's a fantastic way to meet everyone and get involved. Unlike traditional conferences, the Boston Summit is all about getting developers together and getting things done. While there are some non-hacking sessions, they are geared heavily towards many-to-many, interactive discussion and planning, rather than one-to-many presentations.

Schedule

  • Propose a hackfest or BOF session - got a project to hack on or a plan to put in motion? Let us know! These proposals will inform the content and structure of the event.

  • What time does it start on the 11th in the morning? -- word on the street is 9AM.
