Re: Possible Candidate host for next summit 2010 - Taiwan? How do you think ?



Great!

For call for host deadline to submit proposal, checked New year
schedule, Vietnam is in Feb, Cambodia and Thailand seems to be in April.
Taiwan is in mid January, same as China. (members please let us know if
the date has contradict with any big holiday in your country)

I would still suggest end of March for the deadline, what do u think?

Dear all, 

Please read the call for host and let's try to finalize it and send it
out after the new year holiday :)

Draft: 

Call for invitations to be the host of GNOME.Asia Summit 2010
        
        
        Dear GNOME friends, 
        
        GNOME.Asia Summit is the yearly GNOME Users and Developers Asian
        Conference. The first GNOME.Asia Summit was hosted in 2008 in
        Beijing, China and then 2009 in Ho-Chi-Minh City, Vietnam. We
        would like to continue this tradition and spread GNOME
        throughout the whole Asia. 
        
        For those of you who would like to host the next GNOME.Asia
        Summit in 2010 you are hereby invited to write a formal proposal
        to the GNOME.Asia Committee list at asia-summit-list [at]
        gnome.org on or before 31st March 2010. 
        
        The GNOME.Asia Summit will focus primarily on the GNOME desktop
        including both applications and development platform in addition
        to larger GNOME-related community in Asia. The Summit aims to
        bring together the GNOME community in Asia to provide a forum
        for users, developers, foundation leaders, governments and
        businesses to discuss a varied range of topics relating to GNOME
        and the GNOME community in Asia. Learn more about GNOME.Asia
        Summit from our website at http://gnome.asia/ 
        
        Since 2008, the Summit has successfully established an active
        committee to assist the local coordinators, but there is a
        definitive need for individuals actively involved and committed
        to planning and execution of the Summit. There are challenges to
        work through but the process can be very rewarding and a lot of
        fun. It's also proven that the Summit has helped a lot in
        building local communities for GNOME and FOSS in general. 
        
        The following two links are “must read items” for GNOME.Asia
        Summit:
                How to: http://live.gnome.org/How%20to%20Organize%
                20GNOME.Asia%20Summit 
                Check list: http://live.gnome.org/Check%20list%20for%
                20GNOME.Asia%20Summit
                
        You will also find the templates of GNOME.Asia Summit 2008 and
        2009 Proposals in the how to. For more details of the GNOME.Asia
        Summit 2008 and 2009, please visit http://2008.gnome.asia/en/
        and http://2009/gnome.asia/
        
        GNOME.Asia is much like a few trees just planted and we want to
        grow a forest in Asia. We are looking for local organizers in
        any Asian country with the desire to take on and succeed in the
        challenges of organizing an excellent GNOME event. We know that
        you will need all the time you can get to prepare a proposal but
        we hope we have inspired you to get started. 
        
        We hope to hear from you on or before 31st March 2010. 
        
        Good luck!
        
        Sincerely,
        GNOME.Asia Summit committee 

Thanks,
Pockey
