It is +AD4 important to highlight that GNOME.Asia Summit 2011 is matching the +AD4 release of GNOME 3.0 and will be a great place to celebrate this +AD4 launch. GNOME 3.0 is a big advance for GNOME bringing new desktop +AD4 paradigms to facilitate users interaction with their computing world. +AD4 Please join us to celebrate the launch of this major release +AD4 together+ACE +AD4 +AD4 About GNOME.Asia Summit +AD4 GNOME.Asia Summit is an annual conference for GNOME users and +AD4 developers in Asia. The event focuses primarily on the GNOME desktop +AD4 and other devices that use GNOME, and also covers GNOME-based +AD4 applications and GNOME development platform tools. It brings together +AD4 the GNOME community in Asia to provide a forum for users, developers, +AD4 foundation leaders, governments and businesses to discuss both the +AD4 present technologies and future developments. GNOME.Asia Summit has +AD4 been held in Beijing, China in 2008, and Ho-Chi-Minh City, Vietnam in +AD4 2009 as well as Taipei, Taiwan in 2010. +AD4 +AD4 Event dates and venue +AD4 +ACo Conference Date: April 2nd 2011 (Saturday) - 8:30am to 6:00pm +AD4 local time +AD4 +ACo Venue: Dayananda Sagar Educational Institutions, Shivage +AD4 Malleshwara Hills, Kumaraswamy Layout, Bangalore 560 078, +AD4 Karnataka (India) +ADw a map of where it is located +AD4 http://bit.ly/fa0PgY +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 Topics of interest +AD4 First and foremost we will of course turn the spotlights on: GNOME 3.0 +AD4 +IBM What's exciting +AD4 +AD4 Other topics include: +AD4 +AD4 +ACo GNOME, the mobile and netbook platform +AD4 +ACo GNOME library and application development +AD4 +ACo GNOME Desktop deployments and customization +AD4 +ACo GNOME Communities +AD4 +ACo GNOME Accessibility +AD4 +ACo Lightning talks +AD4 +AD4 Of course, you are free to submit anything that does not fit in those +AD4 categories, provided that it is relevant to GNOME or for the GNOME +AD4 community at large. +AD4 +AD4 Talks will be scheduled for either 25 minutes and 5 minutes Q+ACY-A or 45 +AD4 minutes talk and 15 minutes Q+ACY-A, please also specify your preference +AD4 in your submission. +AD4 +AD4 The Call for Participation has the following time line +AD4 +ACo February 6th 2011 : Deadline for submission of abstracts +AD4 +ACo February 13rd 2011 : Notification of speakers +AD4 I have a small concern. We are thinking for keeping 'deadline for sponsorship' for companies by Feb 15, 2011. So when we notify speakers by Feb 13, 2011, we won't have much idea about total sponsorship. Later when speakers apply for travel subsidy, we may have to take decision based on the sponsorship what we would have received. I hope it will be fair to assume that we may not be able to sponsor all the notified speakers. - Akhil +AD4 Submission Guidelines +AD4 Those proposing to present papers should submit an abstract (150 +AD4 words) and a bio including the name and e-mail address of the author +AD4 to asia-summit-list(at)gnome(dot)org on or before February 6th, 2011 +AD4 (UTC 1800).
