Re: Summary of Talks and travel assistance for GNOME.Asia 2010

[Pockey <pockey beijinglug org>]

Dear Emily,

Thanks for your summary! 

I agreed, since the advance notice is quite short, it's reasonable to
postpone the deadline. 


Ray Wang will also submit his travel assistance application today. So he
will need 400 USD. Please note. 


And please do invite one more GNOME developer to talk about GNOME
Mobile :) 

Thanks,
Pockey
