Talking with Leslie Hawthorn from Google

[Mario Behling <mb mariobehling de>]

Hi,

I just had an email exchange with Leslie Hawthorn from Google asking
her about some speakers from Google for GNOME.Asia. Important parts
see below. I will meet her at the GSoC  mentor summit and we will see,
if we can get speakers to GNOME.Asia.

All the best,

Mario

I wish I could help with this but getting a speaker on Android is
almost impossible. Maybe ping Robert Love directly? I believe he gave
a talk on Android at GUADEC once and it would be more likely that he
could get clearance to reprise it than to get a speaker from the
Android team. Maybe also ping Chris DiBona?

Maybe we can track some people down when you are here for the summit.
We'll see what we can do.
