That's great news!
About your questions, who are our sponsors, That's a good question.
This is the priority 1 thing we need to work on these days. Mario, We
need to send out the call for participants and proposals to our
potential sponsors this Friday.
How many booths? it depend on how many sponsors we have this year, and
how many community or club will present in this summit. For example,
last year, we have about 9 booths, 7 of them are our sponsors: Sun,
Nokia, Mozilla, Motorola, Redhat, Google, Lemote, the other two booths
are for Beijing Linux Users Group as co-organizer and CSDN which is
magazine as our media partner.
Let's plan a room for the booths, like a public hall. It could be the
same place where our registration desk will be placed. I understand it
depends on the venue. So just my suggestions.

Hello everyone,
I'm happy to say that Quang Trung has given me a YES - but have
several questions which I cannot answer very clearly - example:
who are the sponsors, how many booths we need - stuff like that.
I would like to introduce one person to them, and would like to
know who this person can be.
Cheers,
Tony

That's great. Once the venue has been confirmed, we can think
about announcing the summit after that.
One question for Mario and local team:
In the proposal, I see the expected participants are 1000,
that's a big number. Do you have any expectation who will be
those 1000 people ? How many are GNOME developers,how many
GNOME users? How many are from open source community, how many
are students. From our experience in Beijing, there were 300
people attend this summit, about 50 people are core GNOME
developers and contributors, 100 people are from open source
community and companies, about 150 people are students. So I
would like to know who will be those 1000 people for the 2nd
summit?
It takes time for us to learn the local community, the summit
don't have to be a huge conference, just bring together the
GNOME people in Vietnam together, to build the GNOME community
in Asia. A summit with 300+ people is good enough, just from
my point of view.
Thanks for all the good work did by our local team.

Hello everyone,
It's the silent one again :-))
Quang Trung's response is pretty positive, I have a
meeting with them tomorrow morning 9.00am to talk about
the requirements & other necessities. Hopefully, I can
have a confirmation also from them.

Dear all,
what are the current steps needed to get the
Summit going? To my mind
we need to focus to get out the call for
participants, to get the
website ready and to invite sponsors.
Concerning venues - we are progressing. We have
Quang Trung Software
City (QTSC) as a potential venue and they said
they would like to talk
with us how we could do it. Besides that, there
are venues such as:
NIIT, Aptech, UIT etc. They are all IT
universities, and located in
Dist 1 and 3 (central). We are checking locations
one after the other
and we will decide soon which are the best venues.
I think the global
team does not need take up time and resources on
this subject at the
moment. But we would be very happy and welcome any
help with the call,
website and funding.
So, lets focus on the call and website. The event
will happen from Nov. 20-22.
I am looking forward to working with everyone
together.

I really tend to agree with Brian at this
juncture. We need to push the
date back to a point we know we can actually
hold the conference. It is
completely unrealistic to expect sponsors and
speakers to make plans
when we don't have a solid time and place to
hold the summit.
I want the GNOME.Asia Summit to be a signature
event for GNOME and the
free software community. We need to make sure
the events we promote are
done perfectly. If this year we delay, then so
be it. Our goal can still
be to do it annually.
Sincerely,
Will

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.

Tony, will let us know within this
week about the venue at Software

confirmation. Then we know about
the details.
Thanks,

We do not know, we do not have a
venue yet.
RMIT Vietnam confirmed that they
did not have the space to hold this
conference in November. They
recommend the week for Tet, the
Vietnamese New
Year, since many of the students
will no longer be in class.
Tony is talking with the Quang
Trung Software City. I have no
contacted the
two universities until QTSC gives
a response.
I am still trying to get into
contact with the University of
Technology
which held the Google DevFest last
year. They are working on another
event
with e27 from Singapore now for
October.
We are doing the best we can here.

Do you have such areas in the

Dear Emily,
A few suggestions on the
call for participants:
maybe we should mention
potential audiences so they
have an idea
of who
they will speak to?
2) ask them to spread their
words to other potential
speakers in
any of
their local communities,
even though they may not be
the right
speaker,
they can help to look
around, maybe we miss some
communities in
Asia, so
the local can help us
Thanks,
Pockey
