+<h1>GNOME Targets Wider Audience at GUADEC</h1>
+
+<p>
+July 1, 2010 â?? The organisational committee of GUADEC 2010, the annual GNOME
+Users And Developers European Conference, has scheduled two extra sessions, to
+be held immediately before the main conference, which are expected to draw wide
+and international audiences.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNOME Open Desktop Day and the GNOME Developers Training aim to expose
+newcomers - particularly governments, businesses, and developers - to the
+plethora of open source software possibilities. These events will be of
+great interest for ICT companies, public sector organisations and
+entrepreneurs interested in exploring opportunities and development of open
+source and GNOME-based products.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+GNOME is the desktop environment installed by default in many Linux, Unix
+and BSD environments.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The additional sessions will take place on Monday and Tuesday, the 26th
+and 27th of July, in The Hague, The Netherlands. The main GUADEC conference
+will be held on the 28th-30th of July.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+GUADEC 2010 marks the conferenceâ??s 11th year. This is the first year it
+will be held in The Netherlands. GUADEC has previously been held in
+locations such as Paris, Copenhagen, Birmingham, Istanbul and Seville.
+Conference organisors expect more than 500 attendees to participate over the
+week. Speakers for the conference include leading names from the open source
+development community and representatives from leading companies and public
+institutions in the open source area.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information on the event and registration, please visit the
+official GUADEC website:
