[Emily Chen <emilychen522 gmail com>]

Hi Lee, 

Thanks for your interests to visit GNOME Foundation. 

GNOME Foundation does not really have a physical office to visit, our employees are all work from home. However, we are interested in your project and willing to help and involve in the FOSS community and university in Korean. 

We have a GNOME.Asia committee in Asia, we just organized a GNOME.Asia Summit 2012 in India. Korean is the place we want to go in future. 

The GNOME.Asia committee are interested in building GNOME and FOSS community, looking forward to work with univeristy and students in Asia countries. We are willing to have more discuss with you, please let us know what do you need and how we can help.

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
