Libre Application Summit
Hosted by
GNOME
May 16 – 20, 2016 | Portland, Oregon
Libre Application Summit is a new Free Software / Open Source conference focused on a new concept. Traditionally, when potentaill developers wante dto develop an application they had to decide which GNU/Linux distrubutions to develop for and create complex build environments to support various packaging formats.
Located at the Eliot Center, this one of a kind conference will bring together over a 100 free and open source developers from application writers, designers, and toolkit developers to hardware manufacturers, collaborating on improving the application development story. Ubiquitous applications running on any Linux distribution and a new application distribution model which developers control.
GNOME's runtime and sandboxing technology will allow developers to target a runtime that can run anywhere instead of a single distribution. This concept goes beyond use on the desktop, and applies to any application which needs a fixed environment to run under.
To make this conference successful, we need your help! Your sponsorship will help drive the kind of collaboration that is needed to make application development successful in the GNU/Linux eco-system. The Open Source model has enjoyed tremendous success in many market segments. But the Free Software application story has languished for twenty years. This conference is the first of its kind to tackle this story and build a new emerging and measurable market segment for entrepreneurs, companies, and startups.
