-  Asia is the major annual GNOME conference in the Asia/Pacific part of the world,
-  and is only possible thanks to the hard work of many volunteers. This year’s event

-    <p>GNOME 40 includes a new and improved Activities Overview design. This 
-    gives the overview a great new look, and provides an improved experience for 
-    navigating the system and launching apps.</p>
-    <p>The new design lays out the different parts of the system in two 
-    directions. Workspaces are arranged horizontally, and the overview and app 
-    grid are accessed vertically. Each direction has accompanying keyboard 
-    shortcuts, touchpad gestures and mouse actions:</p>

-      </key>/<key>↓</key>/<key>←</key>/<key>→</key>. (Pressing <key>Super</key> 
-      continues to open the overview, and existing keyboard shortcuts will 
-      continue to work as before.)</p></item>
-      <item><p>Touchpad gestures use three-finger swipes up/down/left/right.
-      </p></item>
-      <item><p>Mouse scroll switches workspaces in the overview, and can be 
-      used with the <key>Super</key> in the regular desktop view.</p></item>
-    </list>
-    <p>Together these provide a fast, intuitive and coherent way to move around 
-    the system. Additionally, the app grid can now be easily customized, with 
-    enhanced drag and drop making it possible to arrange app launchers so they 
-    suit you.</p>
-    <p>The updated overview design brings a collection of other improvements, 
-    including:</p>
-    <list>
-    <item><p>A more helpful boot experience: the overview is now shown after 
-    boot, to help you get started.</p></item>
-    <item><p>The dash now separates favorite and non-favorite running apps. 
-    This makes it clear which apps are have been favorited and which haven’t.
-    </p></item>
-    <item><p>Window thumbnails have been improved, and now have an app icon 
-    over each one, to help identification.</p></item>
-    <item><p>When workspaces are set to be on all displays, the workspace 
-    switcher is now shown on all displays rather than just the primary one.
-    </p></item>

-      </p></item>
-      <item><p>Additional settings have also been added, so that it is now
