While GUADEC, the GNOME community’s annual conference, has always been held
in Europe (or online-only) since it began in 2000, this year’s edition
was held in North America, specifically in Guadalajara, México,
July 20-25. Rob McQueen gave a talk on the first day of the
conference about providing solutions that bring some level of digital
safety and
autonomy to users—and how GNOME can help make that happen. McQueen
is the CEO of the Endless OS
Foundation, which is an organization geared toward those goals; he
was also
recently reelected as the president of the GNOME
Foundation board of directors.
