Canonical was at #GUADEC2025 in Brescia, Italy! 🇮🇹🧡

We had an incredible time connecting with the GNOME community, discussing upstream collaboration, Ubuntu desktop updates, and celebrating all things open source.

Thanks – or grazie – to the wonderful community who dropped by our booth, joined our talks, or just stopped for a chat.

Alla prossima!

Event Report - GUADEC 2025

GUADEC is the GNOME community’s annual conference, it brings together hundreds of contributors and users from all over the world. This year, GUADEC was held in Brescia, Italy, from July 24th to July 29th 2025. Brescia is an absolutely stunning city, we were made aware of it right from the welcome event, the day before the event started, and confirmed it during our evening excursions around its alleys. What an amazing place, full of history, art and vibrant with life. 🌞 ...
