I was invited as a guest speaker at GNOME Asia 2024 during 6-8 December 2024, in Bengaluru, India. I also volunteered to co-host the event.
GNOME
GNOME, originally an acronym for GNU Network Object Model Environment, is a free and open-source desktop environment for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.
GNOME strives to have a strong presence in Asia, and each year hosts a number of events for the users and developers in Asian countries.
GNOME.Asia Summit is the featured annual GNOME conference in Asia. It focuses primarily on the GNOME desktop but also covers applications and platform development tools. The summit brings together the GNOME community in Asia to provide a forum for users, developers, foundation leaders, governments, and businesses to discuss the present technology and future developments.
Samyak ‘s talk
This abstract was submitted by Justin and me, for our talk:
Outreachy is conducted by Software Freedom Conservancy and it provides internships in open source and open science. Over the years, there has been an explosive reach in the public about this program. As a Outreachy intern in the summer of 2022 for the Fedora Badges Design Project and eventually becoming the general Fedora mentor for the 2024 summer cohort, I want to highlight how it works for both the mentors and the mentees. Taking inspiration from experience, I want to discuss best mentor practices and what all changes can we bring to make the Fedora Outreachy experience better.
