Call for invitations to be the host of
GNOME.Asia Summit 2009
We are soliciting proposals for hosting GNOME.Asia 2009. The GNOME.Asia Summit is planned to be
an annual GNOME event hosted in Asia. We started the GNOME.Asia
Summit in 2008 and we want to continue this tradition and spread
GNOME throughout the Asian region.
The GNOME.Asia Summit will
focus primarily on the GNOME desktop including both applications and
the development platform in addition to larger GNOME-related
community in Asia. The Summit brings 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://www.gnome.asia/en/
The Summit has an active committee to
assist the local coordinators, but there is a definitive need for
individuals actively involved and committed to the planning and
execution of the Summit. There are challenges to work through but the
process can be a very rewarding and a lot of fun.
GNOME.Asia
is much like a tiny seed we want to grow into a tree 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.
The following two links are "must read
items" for GUADEC, the European model for the Summit. It has
also worked well for GNOME.Asia Summit organizers :
