It looks very good to me.  It sounds like it will be an exciting
conference.

On page 8, the COSCUP people seem to be suggesting that GNOME.Asia be
about GNOME Mobile.  Are there enough GNOME speakers in Asia to focus
on this topic?  If not, it may be necessary to figure out a different
angle for finding synergy with COSCUP.

I would like to see a more detailed budget for the costs associated
with the event.

Also, I wonder if it makes more sense to keep the financial accounts
separate.  Are there tax advantages or other motivations for using
the COSCUP account for all funds?
