Welcome to GNOME 3.24 Release Parties!

GNOME 3.24 was officially released on March 22nd 2017. On this page, GNOME friends from different corners of the world can plan celebrating together and having a good time!

Why?

• To celebrate GNOME 3.24
• To promote the GNOME 3.24 release and let everybody know about GNOME and its benefits
• To create talking points and attract local / international press to talk about GNOME
• To build awareness of GNOME in general

  • Post pictures to social media!!! This helps us with awareness. Use hashtags #GNOMEParty and #GNOMERelease. Right now, those hashtags show small men with beards - let's change that.

  • Let's try out our new Flickr group. Post to GNOME Social Flickr and remember to set the licensing to CC-BY so we can use it for marketing purposes. Join and help us fill it up!

Who?

Everybody can hold a GNOME 3.24 launch party, including user groups, FOSS communities, distro communities, universities, NGOs and companies.

Note: If you want to join an existing party it might be nice to contact the organizers by email so they know how many people to expect.

Artwork

Free free to download GNOME 3.24 Artwork to help promote your release party. You can localize the artwork to your language and location. Don't forget to upload new artwork you make to share with others!
