Read the first part of the announcements. (http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/desktop-summit-announce.html)

And now there are more exciting announcements:

• The Panel on Copyright Assignement (https://desktopsummit.org/news/copyright-assignment-panel) has been announced, featuring SUSE’s Michael Meeks, Canonical’s Mark Shuttleworth and Bradley Kuhn from the Software Freedom Conservancy. This session will be moderated by GNOME’s Karen Sandler.

• The fifth and final keynote Interview (https://desktopsummit.org/interviews/nick-richards) has been published, with Nick Richards from Intel.

• The conference attendee policy (https://desktopsummit.org/news/conference-attendee-policy-published) as been published.

Only 5 days are now left to beginning of the conference. The first event (https://desktopsummit.org/program/pre-registration) will already take place on Friday August 5th, at c-base (http://www.c-base.org/) at U/S Jannowitzbrücke, starting at 4pm. The conference programme itself will begin on Saturday August 6th, 10am (though do come earlier, for registration, if you didn’t register at the c-base event already!). Note that the primary entrance to the Desktop Summit is in the north-eastern corner of the main building of Humboldt University. That’s on Dorotheenstr./Hegelplatz, and not on Unter den Linden.

See you on Friday at c-base!
