GUADEC , formerly the GNOME Users And Developers European Conference , is an annual developer conference whose prime topic is the development of the GNOME desktop environment and its underlying base software such as GTK , GStreamer , etc.
The first GUADEC was organised by Mathieu Lacage as a one-off event and attracted around seventy GNOME contributors.[ 1] It was the first time many of them had met in person. The conference was judged a success, and has been held annually in different locations since then, organised by local volunteers. The size has increased five-fold since the first conference.
