[Ghm-discuss] GNU Hackers' Meeting, 2014

[John Darrington]

It is still 6 months away, however preparations for GHM 2014 are
underway.  This year's Gnu Hackers' Meeting takes place in Munich,
Germany between 15 and 17 August.   At GHM you can expect to meet many
of the GNU developers, as well as others who have an active interest
in the GNU Operating System.   Presentations describing the latest
technical developments in GNU and challenges - technical, legal and
social  - are hot topics at GHM. 

In addition to the talks, moderated question and answer sessions are
usual at GHM, and of course, there is ample opportunity to meet the
developers and maintainers in person for informal discussion.

GHM delegates often enjoy extended chat at the end of the day in a
local restaurant or beer garden.   Munich, of course, is famous for
its beer, and we don't expect to miss an opportunity to test its
reputation! 

If you have not registered, please do not leave it to the last minute
- it causes stress for the the organisers, who are busy making things
come together.  The organisers could currently use some help with some 
tasks, for example: overseeing the printing and distribution of
T-Shirts,  assistance with catering, collection of donations, managing the 
audio-visual recordings etc. Please reply to this list if you are willing 
to help with any of these.  

The venue this year is close to Munich airport, and is easily
accessible by public transport.  Attendance is free of charge, but
prior registration is necessary.  For more information, including how 
to register, please see https://www.gnu.org/ghm/2014
