Dear Mohd Fazli Azran,

I think you already have a lot of good suggestions and pointers to start
your new project. I'll recommend an excellent howto on running GNU/Linux
User Groups which can be applied to GNOME User Groups right here:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/User-Group-HOWTO.html

You have about 15+ years of people experience in one single document
about what and what not to do to make your group successful. you just
need to apply some of the topics to be GNOME specific but overall a
great start for your group.

See you soon either online or live!

Dear Mohd,

It's nice to see you so passionate about FOSS and GNOME!

You can find a lot of useful information about how to start and run a
local GNOME community at http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups

As Brian mentioned, gugmasters and GNOME.Asia groups [1] are the right
places for you to contact.

As a core member of GNOME.Asia [2] , our aim is to grow the GNOME
community in Asia. We have members from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India,
Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, etc. it would be nice if we
can have representatives from Malyasia as well! We have been also
helping local communities to start and grow their GNOME communities, we
can definitely put you in touch with other Asian Gugs (GNOME User
Groups), please do subscribe to the two mailing lists [1] and we can
talk more over there!

[2] http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia

One more thing! As the next major release, GNOME 3.0 is coming in early
April, we highly encourage local communities to celebrate this big
release, more information can be found at
http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/LaunchParty. By hosting activities,
it can definitely help to boost GNOME awareness and users locally as
well.

There are indeed too much information to give regarding this topic and
we are all excited to see you joining us!

Cheers,
Pockey

Mohd:

Thank you for expressing an interest in setting up a GNOME Users Group.

Note that The GNOME Foundation has official User's Groups sign the
"Trademark Agreement for Users Groups" which you can find here:

http://live.gnome.org/Trademark

So, the first step would be to send board gnome org a signed copy of
the form if you find it agreeable.

Also the gugmasters mailing list is for people interested in GNOME
User's Groups, so it would be a good forum to join and discuss further.
Information about the list, including subscription information, is
here:

http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gugmasters-list
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gugmasters-list/

There is also a mailing list for GNOME users in Malaysia:

http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-my-list

Also, you might find the asia-summit-list to be a useful resource for
general Asian GNOME topics:

I`m representative form Open Source Developer Club Malaysia
(OSDCMY). We
are the local community in Malaysia that promote and market OSS to
Malaysia people. We now to ready to lead the OSS community in
Malaysia s
now we start many project for OSS any link with may OSS community in
Malaysia like Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, FreeBSD, Joomla, Drupal and
etc.

But in Malaysia i can see we not have any GNOME community. So think we
better start one and we can start 1st translation project. OSDC.My
already manage the biggest open source conference almost 2 years
already
we call it Malaysia Open Source Conference (MOSC <http://conf.oss.my>).
We now are prepare to do our 3rd MOSC2011 for this years. Yeah need a
lot of work to do now. But at least we can make people interest about
OSS and perhaps we can be one of the contributor to the OSS community
around the world. If we not start now others will not start. I`m also
involve other OSS ambassador like Fedora, openSUSE & PCBSD and OWASP.
Hope GNOME ca help us how to start GNOME Malaysia. Thanks
