Re: [gugmasters] Starting a Gnome User Group in Chennai, India



Talked to Shaswat, he said chennai.gnome.org is good :)  and I found the procedure of requesting a domain name from the GNOME Foundation as well.

Dear Shaswat,

Please send an email to gnome-sysadmin gnome org as described on this Wiki:

http://live.gnome.org/action/show/Sysadmin/Contact?action="">

I am sure they can help you figure out how to setup the site you need.

Cheers,
Pockey

Hi!

I would recommend to start with chennai.gnome.org and see how the group matures. It would not be a good thing to start buying domain names to anyone requesting and not getting GUGs meeting or doing anything much.

Likewise Shaswat should register to the GUGmasters mailing list and do the request in person.

Last but not least it would be useful to know what CMS the Chennai GUG has decided to use. GUGs are not online websites/blogs but people who meet in person and agree on doing stuff together.

disclaimer: I am not part of the sysadmin team and have no idea about requirements or what the GNOME Foundation can exactly offer. My perspective is that the more detailed a request is the more likely it will end up being accepted and processed.

    Dear Pockey,

    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 (
    www.srmlug.blogspot.com <http://www.srmlug.blogspot.com>) 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.

    It's exciting to hear that you will start a GNOME User Group in
    Chennai, India!

    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) here
    <http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit/Slides>and then start
    your first meeting!

    Please also add your group to
    http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups#GNOME_India so other people can
    find you from our GUG list.
    Regarding building a website, if you need help of having a domain
    name or hosting service, please feel free to let us know.

    Besides, we noticed that there is a demand of purchasing GNOME
    merchandises e.g. tshirts in India :)
    If your GNOME user group is interested in building or working with
    other companies to provide GNOME merchandises (with reference of
    http://www.zazzle.com/gnome) 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:
    http://live.gnome.org/Trademark

    If you would like to help us to establish a GNOME store in India,
    please send board gnome org <mailto:board gnome org> a signed copy
    of the form if you find it agreeable.

    All the best and do keep us posted on the status of your GNOME
    User Group!
    Pockey
