<div>We need to have more GUGs and Gnome awareness in
India. So i want to start a gnome user group in my
college SRM University,Chennai , India .While giving
the talk on Gnome and student contribution and
interacting with different students in Gnome Asia
Summit , I felt that students are enthusiastic about
contributing to gnome but they dint know from where to
begin their journey.Being the founder and coordinator
of SRM Linux user group ( <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.srmlug.blogspot.com"
target="_blank">www.srmlug.blogspot.com</a>) it will
be easy task for me to get permission
from administration for starting a Gnome user Group.
I would like to hear from you what else we need before
starting it. <br>

It's exciting to hear that you will start a GNOME User
Group in Chennai, India! <br>
<br>
As mentioned, you have the passion and love to GNOME, you
already have more than enough to start a GUG! Please feel
free to follow the steps and tips from my slide (Building
GUG) <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit/Slides"
target="_blank">here </a>and then start your first
meeting! <br>
<br>
Please also add your group to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups#GNOME_India"
target="_blank">http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups#GNOME_India</a>
so other people can find you from our GUG list. <br>
Regarding building a website, if you need help of having a
domain name or hosting service, please feel free to let us
know. <br>
<br>
Besides, we noticed that there is a demand of purchasing
GNOME merchandises e.g. tshirts in India :)<br>
If your GNOME user group is interested in building or
working with other companies to provide GNOME merchandises
(with reference of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.zazzle.com/gnome" target="_blank">http://www.zazzle.com/gnome</a>)
to Chennai or the Indian market, please consider to sign
the "Trademark Agreement for Users Groups" with the GNOME
Foundation which you can find here: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://live.gnome.org/Trademark" target="_blank">http://live.gnome.org/Trademark</a>
<br>
<br>
If you would like to help us to establish a GNOME store in
India, please send <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:board@gnome.org" target="_blank">board@gnome.org</a>
a signed copy of the form if you find it agreeable. <br>
<br>
All the best and do keep us posted on the status of your
GNOME User Group! <br>
Pockey<br>
