Description

This is a hackfest that aims at getting together people interested in reducing resource usage (RAM, CPU, GPU, power) of a typical GNOME session. The initiative is jointly pushed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and the GNOME Foundation as they have an interest in getting better.

Agenda, goals

Tentative agenda

  • Look for and implement strategies to reduce RAM usage of a typical GNOME session
  • Improve GNOME Shell's FPS/latency/overall footprint
  • Look at potential problems on slow I/O platforms

Sponsors

How to get there

The best way to get there from outside of the UK is to land at Stansted Airport and take a train or bus from the airport to Cambridge. Luton is second closest and the rest of the London Airports will probably mean you will have to commute from central London to Cambridge through King's Cross. Contact aruiz or pbrobinson if you need further details.
