Re: Public registration promotion

[Pockey Lam <pockeylam gnome org>]

Dear all,

After discussion with Bharath and Fred. We come up with the following ideas:

We target 1000 participants, heavy promotion will be started middle of 
this week until March 20, action by the local team.

By March 20, if we don't have enough registration, the local team is 
going to approach:
local colleges, institutes and universities directly, there are around 
20 of them. They will ask their officials to select 30 - 50 outstanding 
students from their colleges each to join our conference.

Besides, we can also consider to give a few free quota to different FOSS 
communities to invite their core team to join us as well.

Like this, we can definitely ensure the number of quality participants :)
