It is still 6 months away, however preparations for GHM 2014 are underway. This year's Gnu Hackers' Meeting takes place in Munich, Germany between 15 and 17 August. At GHM you can expect to meet many of the GNU developers, as well as others who have an active interest in the GNU Operating System. Presentations describing the latest technical developments in GNU and challenges - technical, legal and social - are hot topics at GHM.
In addition to the talks, moderated question and answer sessions are usual at GHM, and of course, there is ample opportunity to meet the developers and maintainers in person for informal discussion. GHM delegates often enjoy extended chat at the end of the day in a local restaurant or beer garden. Munich, of course, is famous for its beer, and we don't expect to miss an opportunity to test its reputation! If you have not registered, please do not leave it to the last minute - it causes stress for the the organisers, who are busy making things come together. The organisers could currently use some help with some tasks, for example: overseeing the printing and distribution of T-Shirts, assistance with catering, collection of donations, managing the audio-visual recordings etc. Please reply to this list if you are willing to help with any of these. The venue this year is close to Munich airport, and is easily accessible by public transport. Attendance is free of charge, but prior registration is necessary.
