This year, GUADEC promises a packed schedule of talks from all areas of the community from development to translation, from documentation to engagement, from upstream to downstream.

Talks at GUADEC will be live streamed by the CCC Video Operation Center.

Lightning talks

Fast paced and focused, 5 minute lightning talks will take place during the core days on August 12 – 14. You will have a chance to sign up for these on the day.

Unconference talks

GUADEC is reserving 6 short talk slots (up to 25 minutes) during the core days on August 12 – 14 for talks to be submitted and selected by attendees on-site. This is your chance to present cutting edge developments or anything that didn’t make it into the normal schedule. These talks should be longer than a lightning talk and there is time for discussions and Q&A sessions about the presented topic.

BoFs and hackfests

Bird of a Feather and hacking sessions bring together those who are interested in specific topics or areas for targeted brainstorming, planning and work efforts. These sessions are taking place on August 15 – 17th. Propose these on the GNOME wiki!
