My First GUADEC

Finally, here it is! My “My First GUADEC” post.

Past, Present, and Future

When GSoC started and my involvement in the GNOME community increased, I spent a lot of time understanding and discovering how the community and it’s Software had evolved from the day they were conceived to the day I find myself writing this post, little by little with tiny increments, while the history was intriguing, it made me more curious about the future.

Open Source Creative Software

I have never had the money to be able to afford the suite of creative software that Adobe Creative Cloud offers namely Photoshop, Lightroom, After Effects, etc.), Inkscape, Kdenlive and Blender come in to save the day, for many enthusiasts and developers who wish to take part in the creating and using these amazing software.).)

Social Events

If you have attended GUADEC you will know about these, but if not, and you think that the whole conference was about a bunch of people talking about tech-jargon, you are wrong! Social events introduced the GNOME community to the various talents its members had been hiding, be it cooking, making cocktails, or knitting, there’s a whole spectrum here.

The Lightning Talks

Last but not the least, The Lightning talks, which were to be given by GSoC and outreachy students.

So, these were the highlights of my GUADEC experience, and I look forward to more of these in the future.
