The next generation desktop has arrived. (http://gnome.org/) I am running it as I type this, and so should you. So, go, get it! (http://gnome3.org/tryit.html)

If you are in Berlin on Friday you should also attend our GNOME 3.0 Release Party (https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/LaunchParty/Germany/Berlin). It’s at the world famous c-base (http://www.c-base.org/), in the remains of an alien spaceship that crashed into Berlin 4.5 billion years ago (no kidding!). We’ve got Ubuntu’s Daniel Holbach (http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/) as DJ, and a few folks from the GNOME community will do a talk or two (including that annoying dude who created Avahi, PulseAudio and systemd). We even got Mirko Boehm from the KDE side to say a few things. And there are going to be GNOME 3 goodies! How awesome is that? See the wiki page for further details.

And here’s your homework until Friday: Try out GNOME 3.0! (http://gnome3.org/tryit.html)
