The GNOME Foundation is excited to announce that GUADEC 2019 will take place from the 23rd to 28th of August in Thessaloniki, Greece. GUADEC, the GNOME User and Developer European Conference, brings together hundreds of users and developers every year to further the GNOME Project. It is one of the Foundation’s longest-standing and most noteworthy events.
Thessaloniki is an ancient city with over 2,300 years of history. Also known as Thessalonica, Salonica, or Salonika, it is right behind Athens in both population and importance, as it is the second largest city in Greece and is known as its cultural capital. During the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, Thessaloniki was second only to Constantinople, and was known to co-reign with that city. Many Byzantine churches and buildings from that era remain standing today and are included in UNESCO's World Heritage list. For those who enjoy good food and drinks, Thessaloniki is poised well to please. A plethora of trendy bars and restaurants are scattered throughout the city, and along the pedestrianised streets, and along the coast with sea views. It has a beautiful waterfront promenade where visitors can enjoy ocean views and seaside gardens along the way. The GUADEC organising team looks forward to hosting the 2019 edition of GUADEC in Thessaloniki and has launched a website where those interested in participating can find more information: https://2019.guadec.org.
