In short, I am going to GUADEC. The badge roughly represents my feelings about this:

I will take my three GNOME hats:
- GSoC student — to meet all those involved in making the lockdown editor;
- translator from the Latvian team — to meet fellow translators and exchange best practices;
- local free software community builder — since I am just starting to do anything in this field, any experience gained will be helpful.
Considering this, I have no idea where will I find a time slot to blog about the event
On a related note, I will visit Akademy (since it is just a few hours’ drive from Riga) and try to find out how the Estonians convinced their government to actively help free software and maybe peek into some KDE stuff, like Lokalize.
