GUADEC 2018 call for bids

Hi all,

The GNOME Foundation would like to invite bids for hosting GUADEC 2018.

GUADEC is the biggest gathering of GNOME users and developers, which takes
place in Europe every year, and you could make it happen next year!

If you are interested in submitting a bid, you can talk to the Foundation
Board and previous GUADEC organizers to find out more about what is
involved.

*The deadline for bid submission will be the 4th of June* by e-mail to
foundation-announce gnome org and board-list gnome org. Bids should
also be uploaded to https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2018/Bids.

Your bid should demonstrate that:

   - The location is easily accessible by plane or train
   - You have a motivated local team with a few core members, preferably
   with experience in event organization
   - A good venue is available to host the event
   - There are affordable accommodations and places to eat
   - There is local industry and government support

Bids from previous years are available for reference[1]. While organizing a
conference such as GUADEC is a huge undertaking, people from the GNOME
community have been there before you and will be there to help. You can
find more information at https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/HowTo, including an
overview of the sorts of things you should include in the proposal.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with the
Foundation board at board-list gnome org.

Best,
Nuritzi
