About

The Randa Meetings are developers sprints taking place in Randa, a small village in the swiss alp. Randa Meetings originated from the KDE Community but are also open for contributors of other free and open source projects like GNOME.

The first Randa Meetings took place 2009 and were organized by Mario Fux. In 2012 we saw the foundation of the swiss association “Verein Randa Meetings” which is now responsible for the organization of the developer sprints in Randa.
