[All] Login to #asia-summit @irc.gnome.org to join discussion and make plan for GNOME.Asia Summit. Below is the progress report of GNOME.Asia Summit about what we have done in this month. 1. Confirm the venue in BUAA university It is a good news that we have confirmed the venue in BUAA (Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) with the support of department of Computer Science in BUAA.
2. Change the date from 17 ~ 18 October to 18 ~ 19 October. The reason to change one day later is because the venue in BUAA is only available on 18 ~ 19 October. 17th has been reserved for another conference. We have announced the new date on www.gnome.asia website as well as on www.gnome.org. One day's change seems no effect to everyone since no one book ticket and hotel so far. 3. Negotiate with hotels around BUAA We are negotiate with several hotels to get a discount for GNOME.Asia Summit participants. Currently, four hotels gave us a reasonable prices. We will announce detail information about hotels on website later. 4. Sponsors - We are contacting with Motorola now, they are interested in sponsoring dinner and party. We will send more detail proposals about dinner, party and booth to Motorola. - For Canonical and Access, I have pinged them several times but no response. - For Red Hat's sponsorship level, I am contacting with them to discusee the sposnorship package for Red Hat. 5. Localization of www.gnome.asia We have set up a local translation team for www.gnome.asia, to translate from English to Chinese for website. Thanks for Pockey's great work and organization. 6.
