[Ghm-discuss] GHM 2014 Registrations Open

[John Darrington]

Registrations and presentation proposals for the GNU Hackers' Meeting
2014 are now open.  

The Gnu Hackers' Meeting takes place over two full days in the summer
of 2014 in Munich, Germany.  The meeting comprises informal (but moderated)
presentations from coordinators and developers of GNU projects, and
other software which comprises the GNU System.   Previous years' 
meetings have also featured lively social activities.

Anyone interested in the future development of the GNU project is welcome
to attend.  Attendance is free of charge, but registration is necessary.

Developers and other interested parties are invited to address the meeting,
with or without accompanying written and audio/visual material.
This year, presentations will fall into two categories:  Short Talks, and 
Full Presentations.  Short talks will be allocated 30 minutes including time for
questions (if any).  We anticipate the short talks to be
suited to proposals for future GNU software but other topics are welcome.
The longer presentations will be 1 hour including question time.

In previous years the subject matter has tended to be highly technical.
Whilst technical topics are certainly welcome, it is by no means 
necessary.  Presentations on social, philosophical or practical issues
affecting GNU are also pertinent to the meeting.

The auditoria are fitted with an overhead projector and public address
system, and the presentations will be recorded (if the presenter
wishes) for later publication.


Registration Instructions
=========================

There is no charge to attend GHM 2014, but prior registration is

  list of attendees.


If you wish to address the meeting with a presentation, please include
also in your email:

try
  to help.
