Libre Application Summit hosted by GNOME (LAS GNOME)
The first conference of its kind, LAS GNOME is building an application eco-system on Linux with the goal of building a scalable and measurable market for Linux appilcation; create the conditions to drive growth of Linux into the consumer space.  Linux has taken over the cloud, the living room, and the server.  But its dominance in the application space remains elusive.  Let's change that.
Entrepreneurs and Startups
Building a product is really hard.  Open source projects like GNOME (<A HREF="http://www.gnome.org/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="GNOME" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.gnome.org</A>) and KDE (<A HREF="http://www.kde.org/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="KDE" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.kde.org/</A>) have mature software stacks where one can quickly build a product on.  GNOME includes libraries for location services, DLNA, and various others that you can build into your product or hardware device.  Imagine going to one place to be able to get all the information you need to get started.
Moreover, distributing applications on Linux used to be an complex endeavor.  With new technology, ubiquitous apps are here using Flatpak (<A HREF="http://flatpak.org/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Flatpak" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://flatpak.org</A>) where you can build a fixed environment around your app exactly as you've QA'd and distributed it and have it run on any Linux based OS.
Designers
Learn how GNOME does application design in the public.  One of the first and very few open source projects that develops and designs its applications through a very public process.
Devops
This is not a desktop conference.  This is a conference focused on applications.  Using runtimes, building devtools become even easier when you target a runtime instead of a specific version of enterprise linux.  Imagine being able to build tools that run on a fixed environment regardless of what OS that runs.  No more negotiating with developers just to upgrade an OS for security purposes.
Kernel and Userspace Developers
Help build a better Linux eco-system, and integrate the great work of the kernel into GTK+.  Learn about the upcoming news on Vulkan, the new Linux graphics drivers. Work on the best method with your peers to write applications that use less power and other goals.
About GNOME
GNOME is the first Free Software desktop project on Linux.  GNOME is not merely a desktop project but is deeply involved in the user space engineering of Linux.  Technologies like dbus, systemd, udev, upower had their origins in the GNOME project.  GNOME is the default desktop on most popular Linux distributions.
