RCE Bulletin
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Greetings from the Global RCE Service Centre and Happy New Year! We hope you all had a restful break and feel refreshed for the year ahead. As we begin the year, we start by welcoming five new RCEs to the network, acknowledged by the Ubuntu Committee of Peers for the RCEs at the end of last year. Joining the network are: RCE Detroit Windsor, RCE Gwangmyeong, RCE Hawaii, RCE Suzhou, and RCE Zurich. A warm welcome!
We are also excited to announce that RCE applications for 2022 are now open as well as hosts for RCE events this year (details for each are below). Speaking of events, we will have the first event of the year soon, with the Europe Regional Meeting 2022 early next month (8-9 February, 2022). We look forward to seeing those in the region at this important event!
