Boston Summit 2012

The GNOME Boston Summit 2012 will be held at MIT, Cambridge, MA on Columbus Day Weekend, 2012 (the 6th/7th/8th October), at the MIT Tang Center.

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.

This year we will also have a set of sessions to introduce people new to GNOME and GNOME contributing to GNOME 3, GNOME technologies, community, and contributing.

Venue

The summit will be in the MIT Tang Center, Building E51, in rooms E51-315, E51-325, E51-335, and E51-345.
