Interest in FOSS from Korea

[Brian Cameron <brian cameron oracle com>]

GNOME.Asia Team:

The following email was sent to the foundation-announce list.  This
sort of email is not appropriate for the foundation-announce list, so
I am instead forwarding it to you.

Ho Yeop Lee mentions below an interest in visiting our Foundation.  I
am not sure what this means since The GNOME Foundation does not really
have a physical office to visit.  But it does sound like there may be a
real interest to get more involved with FOSS opporunities and GNOME, so
it sounds good to follow up.  Since this seems to involve a Korean
University, I am sending this to the asia-summit-list.  See below...

To whom it may concerns,

Hello, my name is Ho Yeop Lee from Yonsei University in KOREA. Recently, 
I am preparing to start a project called “LG Global Challenger” with my 
fellow colleagues and I am writing this e-mail to ask you if I could 
visit your foundation regarding this issue.

The project "LG Global Challenger” is an overseas expedition program 
funded by LG for undergraduates and graduates which allows students to 
freely choose the expedition theme and country and visit the ‘world’s 
most developed sites’. The theme I am considering in our project is an 
open-source and through this project we are trying to convey the 
benefits of applying open-source to Korean companies. We believe your 
foundation is the most appropriate place to successfully complete our 
project, hence it would be a great pleasure for us to have the 
opportunity to visit your foundation and enlarge our understandings 
about your foundation as well as our view on current topic.

If possible, I am hoping to visit your headquarters between 11st Aug. 
and 13rd Aug. and I am to submit our expedition plan by 27th April. All 
in all, I wish to get your reply on your acceptance for our visit to 
your foundation as soon as possible. Thank you.

Best Regards



Ho Yeop Lee
