Re: Talking with Leslie Hawthorn from Google

She said they had $1,000 for GNOME Asia when I included it in a list of other things we were looking for sponsorship for. We should share the sponsorship document and plans with her now that it's done.

Hi!

Actually (for having had Google - the Open Source Program Office - as sponsor in the past) you could also ask her whether Google is interested in sponsoring the event.

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


 

The summit will be
held from Nov. 20-22. Do you think, we could get some developers from
Google, e.g. Android developers, to give a talk?
   

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?


 

We can have a chat about it at the mentors summit in a few weeks, but
it might be a bit late to talk about sending developers here in
November. If you see any chance to get Google devs here, it would be
great if you could let me know.
   

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