"GUADEC is the main conference for GNOME users, developers, foundation
leaders, individuals, governments and businesses worldwide. " [1]

GUADEC usually include several activities. There are several talks about
GNOME, but also hackfests, etc. A BOF [2] is basically a meeting held at
a conference, where several people interested on a specific topic join
and talk/hack/etc about it. There are several BOFs this year on GUADEC
(Oliver already pointed this link [3]). It is good to organize them in
advance in order to be sure that you have a room where everybody can
met, and as Oliver is doing, if you want to have some extra activities
there.
