The first joint conference with KDE and Gnome is set to kick off on July 3rd on the island vacation destination Grand Canary. Richard Stallman is expected to attend for the opening of Guadec and Akademy.

In the first week of July , hundreds of KDE and Gnome developers will meet in Grand Canary for the combined desktop summit from KDE and Gnome. The schedule will include over 100 lectures and countless BoF meetings.
