The Maspalomas Dunes in the south are worth a visit too (a trip is being arranged by the organisation, see <a href=\"http:\/\/mail.grancanariadesktopsummit.org\/pipermail\/gcds\/2009-June\/000358.html\">here<\/a>, and <em>hurry up<\/em> if you&#8217;re interested), although that part of the island is full of hotels and I didn&#8217;t find it particularly beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>I was in Las Palmas for less than a day and I remember it as a nice city. I think it&#8217;s going to be a great place for the Summit. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing many people that I haven&#8217;t seen for a long time, and I hope that grouping together the GNOME and KDE teams in the same place for such an important event bears fruit sooner or later.<\/p>\n<p>See you in Gran Canaria!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following our traditions, last Tuesday we had a very big party on the beach where we set everything on fire (this pic is not from this year, though).
