GUADEC-es 2005

The second edition of the GUADEC-es (International conference for Spanish speaking GNOME users and developers) will be held this year in A Corunha (Galicia, north-west of Spain), on 19-21 May. The conference, organized by the Gnome Hispano association, was placed strategically close in time to the VI Guadec in Stuttgart, trying to make it easy for Spanish speaking people coming from outside Europe to attend to both events.

The first edition of the conference was organized the past year in Almendralejo (Extremadura, Spain), and it was a big success with high participation of users, developers, companies and institutions.

The Call For Papers has already been published.

The organization hopes to welcome you all this year in A Corunha!

In english "nh" is neither the same sound as "ñ" nor an english usual combination of words. Normally "ñ" is just changed into "n".

That doesn't matter if the English spelling of A Coruña is "A Corunha". Natural languages don't make sense. English in particular is a mishmash of different spelling rules without much consistency. Now, I'm not sure which way this is actually spelled in English, but claiming that something is a certain way just because it should be (logically) doesn't work.

Or do you use to write french words using portuguese spelling?

The Danish city "København" is spelled "Copenhagen" in English and "Köpenhamn" in Swedish, and I don't hear anyone complaining.
