   1. Fred explained went over the issues with MBM usage of the GNOME
brand and the letter was shared among the group. Everyone agreed to the
content and Will will be sending the letter to Mario in the coming days.
   2. Will explained again the plan for the mailing list migrations,
what has been created so far and how they will be used:
          * gnome-asia-list@ is a public list for every one interested
in GNOME in Asia
          * asia-summit-list@ is the list for GNOME.Asia Summits
preparation that we use with the local teams each year
          * gnome-asia-comittee-list@ is the list for the GNOME.Asia
committee to discuss about committee affairs
   3. All the lists are ready and Will will merge all current members of
asia-summit-list to gnome-asia-list and asia-summit-participants-list
will receive an email today to subscribe to gnome-asia-list .
   4. GNOME 3.0 launch celebrations worldwide coordination: Pockey sent
emails to foundation-list, gnome-gl-list, gnome-ge-list, gnome-turk,
gnome-hispano-list, gnome-cn-list, gnome-tw list. And Fred is helping to
translate the email to French to send to French list and french
marketing list.
   5. Pockey also suggested to make an event map and encourage any FOSS
group to get involved in the celebration (not only GUGs)
   6. So far not a lot of feedbacks received. Will continue to follow up.
   7. GNOME.Asia Summit 2011 survey: the survey is validated. We will
now submit it to 10 people first, and then according to plan act upon
feedback received.
   8. Update from potential country hosts: new wiki page for Hong Kong @
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit/PotentialVenues/HK . Also
considering Bali, Utian is looking for contacts to help out with
coordination since he is on Java island. Should Bali be selected we
should try to address GNOME and tourism in order to cater to the local
Balinese environment and attract more visitors to the conference.
   9. Website discussions closed the meeting. Will explained what
technology is used to administer GNOME.Asia website. We touched about
the content evolution to address both the summits and the community
purposes of GNOME.Asia. Pockey, Allan and Fred will start adding content
in the wiki, to later move it to the site. Pockey provided some links
for 2010 summit photos so Will can work on new graphics. An site outline
needs to be written.
  10. A website brainstorming page where everyone can contribute has
been created @ http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/SiteContent
