Speck Hack Fest 2008

The Speck Hack Fest is a hackfest for newbies, GNOME developers and contributors. It will be held at the TIS innovation park in Bolzano (Italy), an innovative and technological center in Bolzano. It's a perfect opportunity to meet other GNOME hackers, to learn something new or just diving into GNOME development! Unlike other hackfests we will also have a few sessions for beginners, who are interested into learning how to develop GNOME applications. If you want to talk or work on some GNOME related things, just put yourself on the Session page. The Speck Hack Fest will end with the Free Software Conference, which will be on 14th November.

Please note that registration is required to participate at this event. Accomodation packages are also available.
