The fifth FLOSS Usability Sprint will be held on November 2-4, 2007 at Google in Mountain View, California. At the sprint, open source developers, usability practitioners, project managers, and users will gather to discuss methodologies for improving the usability of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) and to apply those processes towards specific projects. The goal is two-fold: To improve the usability of the participating projects, and to catalyze greater
shared understanding and ongoing collaboration between the usabilityand open source communities.

This will be our fifth sprint, after throwing successful sprints in February and August 2005, October 2006, and March 2007 . This upcoming sprint will have the added bonus of being the first organized by the community itself! As always, our focus will be on working with a fantastic set of free (libre) / open source (FLOSS) software projects, focusing especially on users from nonprofit organizations. This year, we'll also spend some time organizing our first remote usability sprint.
