This April 2–3 2016 the 17th Journées du logiciel libre (Days of Free Software) were held in Lyon (France) . GNOME 3.20 was demoed on the stand, running on Fedora 24 alpha, and goodies such as t-shirts were proposed to our visitors.

On a side-note, we accidentally changed the code of the event box's padlock when locking it at the end of the first day, hopefully Matthieu "starmad" Gautier was there to save the day by brute-forcing the padlock, trying hundreds of combinations, and allowing us to install the stand again and greet our visitors decently. starmad gauging his opponent, photo by Didier Roche To participate to this event and to help on the GNOME stand I had to trip f...
