Re: GNOME.Asia Marketing

[Haggen So <haggenso gmail com>]

Chandni,

While I like the theme of last year's website: http://2011.gnome.asia
, I think if we just inherit it, our audience may not be able to
distinguish from last year. While we will have a good conference this
year, we do not have anything like a GNOME 3 announcement and this
year is going to be different from last year.

Also Chandni, you have made a number of suggestions on how to promote
via gnome mailing-list, etc. Please put these suggestions in the
GNOME.Asia 2012 website modify list Google doc as well.

Thanks,

Haggen

P.S. I see that Will have already made some changes. Thanks.
P.P..S. I have a long day for me and I will comment on the letter to
CityU first thing tomorrow morning.
