Did this group fill out a proposal? What are they proposing?

Thanks,

Dear all,

Please find below the feedback from the organizing member of COSCUP for
your information and let's discuss if the date of the event (August 14
and 15) is acceptable or not for GNOME.Asia Summit 2010 as we may have
concern about the tight deadline of getting sponsors.

For your information, if we do think the date is a bit tight, there will
be another Taiwanese FOSS event named ICOS (http://icos.org.tw/ )
that Emily mentioned earlier. ICOS was hosted on Sep 25th to 27th last year.

Cheers,
Pockey

Hi Pockey,


Happy Chinese New Year!


The acting leader of the COSCUP team, Rex Tsai, has evaluated the recap
that you and I wrote. We're going to have a team-wide discussion soon.
However, we found a potential showstopper.


We're going to have COSCUP on 2010/8/14 - 2010/8/15. The date is fixed
for many reasons. Is the date acceptable for Gnome.Asia Summit 2010? If
not, I'm sorry that we will not be able to file a proposal on other
dates.


I know you are concerned about the lead time for getting sponsors. I
don't know much about international sponsors. From local companies and
global companies with branches in Taiwan, we were able to secure 19
sponsors with 3.5 months of lead time for COSCUP 2009. I estimate that
we will have about 4.5 months of lead time this year.


Best wishes,
pingooo
