Here GUADEC Shall Stand

2004-06-02

Kristiansand was founded in 1641 by King Christian IV of Denmark and Norway, with the famous words

"Here the town shall stand".

The center of Kristiansand, Wikipedia points out, is called Kvadraturen due to its square gridline of streets. Early arrivals in Kristiansand will have the opportunity to walk the grid on a complimentary tour of the town on June 27th, hosted by SØRLANDET Tourist Board.

The preliminary schedule for the Fifth Annual GNOME Users and Developers European Conference illustrates how hard this year's planning committee has been working. A trip to southern Norway this month will be educational and unforgettable.
