Dear Brian,
Thanks! I think so as well. During the discussion in IRC,
members also believe we don't really need to have laptop
or projectors or cables in the box, what we need is more
GNOME related stuff , so people can recognise that the
organisers with the box equipment are from GNOME.
We already started to write down ideas in the
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/EventKit
page. And we believe option 2 as below is the event box we
are planning to create. And definitely, we need to make
all artworks of posters and flyers available and easy to
find for Asian contributors to localise and produce
locally as well. But so far i went through the gnome site
and wiki , I just found some ambassador name card template
...
Besides, we also need to think about how to finance the
Asian kit.
From the wiki:
Option 2
We may also consider to produce some light weight event
kits (only GNOME related stuff) to give to those who
planned to have local GNOME User Group and apply for it
and are located in Asia.
It's good to have this event kit ready before the
GNOME.Asia Summit 2011, so we can give one or two kits
in the next location and stimulate local passionate
people to start a local GNOME user group.
Suggested Contents in the Kit
- 3 GNOME t-shirts
- 3 GNOME bag
- 10 GNOME badges
- 1 GNOME banner - 1 x 2.5 m, with some rope to hang
it
- 2 GNOME table cloth (to put on a booth table) - 1.5
x 2 m
- A large black and white plastic/acrylic GNOME Foot
poster
- 2 large HP GNOME posters
Other suggestion
- To upload artworks of posters / flyers / banners in
the wiki for localization and local production.
Budget amount and how to finance and produce them?
Your further comment is appreciated.

Everybody to look at : http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEventsBox
and think of
starting an Asian event box to be produced and used
in Asia. Ideas can
be collected on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/EventKit
What I think is more important is to have the
brochures, pamphlets,
banners, etc. available and translated to Asian
languages. This is
probably the first step before acquiring a laptop.
It may not be necessary for GNOME.Asia Event Box to
include a laptop.
It is often possible for people running booths to use
their own
computers to demonstrate GNOME, for example.
I think the brochures, pamphlets, banners, etc. are
actually the most
important thing in the Event Box. But they are only
useful in Asia if
they are translated.
I'd say getting the stuff translated should be done
before worrying
about getting a laptop in the Event Box.
I am thinking about have a
GNOME store in China, and we can produce
several event kit and send to other places where
there is a GNOME group.
For example, we can send to Taipei, Indian, etc.
Nice idea!
Brian
