Re: Shared call-for-participants & Proposal

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Is there any reason that the conference needs to be the weekend of
November 20th?  Pushing back the date, even to sometime early next
year might be better.  It will be easier to find good sponsors (and
get everything else done also) if we have more time to plan the event
properly without rushing too much.

Perhaps GNOME.Asia will be a bi-annual event instead of a yearly
event.  :)  Really, I don't think that would be a problem.  It's better
to do things right than to rush too much.
