Dear all,
Our gnome.asia website is not ready. let's not promote it massively
until our official site is ready :-)
Fred has already helped to replace the 2010 sponsors logos with
"join us" on our website, while we are finishing the call for paper
today, and then link the pdf document to "join us". Once it's done,
we can promote the announcements, call for paper, call for sponsors
and so on!
Thanks,
Pockey

In addition to the Desktop Summit, you should also consider
submitting your proposal to GNOME Asia, http://gnome.asia/. It will be in India
in March.

Dear Organizers,
I am Sufyan Kakakhel from Open Source Resource Center of
Pakistan, a government project established to promote
open source in the country. I had been following the
desktop summit from the last year and was glad to see that
it was a great success.
We have been working to promote opensource for last 7
years and there was a time that we had to tell people what
linux is or what opensource is, but now things have
changed alot. Now they discuss weather Gnome is a good
option? or the KDE looks better?.
I would love to participate in this year's event and I can
come up with a talk on "Open Source initiatives in Asia".
It will be quite interesting and informative for the
participants to know whats going on in Asia. We were the
pioneer open source resource center founded by any
government in Asia and followed by India, Malaysia,
Hongkong and a number of other Asian economies. A couple
of years back we achieved a goal that used to look not
very realistic a few years back: that was creation of a
joint consortium of open source centers in Asia. http://www.oss.asia/ . The resource
centers have done a great job and have saved millions of
dollars for their governments by deploying opensource in
various government projects.
Unfortunately being a government project of a developing
country, we do not have a provision of funds for
International travel. I was wondering if some scholarship
is available to attend and participate in this important
event?.
Looking forward to hear from you,
Sufyan Kakakhel,
Open Source Resource Center,
