I think the announcements look excellent, thanks Fred for drafting it!
If there is no grammatical mistake or other comment, I would like to put
the content on the front page of gnome.asia website today.

And who can help to put this announcements up on gnome.org?

File a bug at bugzilla.gnome.org under infrastructure->website.
Done, let's wait for the contents to appear then. Thanks!

Dear all,

Here is a draft announcement of the 2 major upcoming events that will
happen right before the GNOME 3.0 release. I hereby submit the text
for your review and comments, and once we're all ok with the content,
grammar and web links (I think there should be more and they should
probably point to gnome.asia once it's launched - 1/2 more days).

These 2 announcements should appear on gnome.org upcoming event
section and on gnome.asia website.

---- announcement start ---------

*GNOME 3.0 Bangalore Hackfest 2011*
/March 28 - April 1 2011, Bangalore, India/

We are hosting a 5 days hackfest (March 28 - April 1) for the release,
documentation and marketing teams focusing on GNOME 3.0 release. This
will ensure some heavy testing of the code during the last week before
the official release of GNOME 3.0, as well as preparing the release to
happen in an optimal way. And at the same time, it will help the
marketing team to clarify messaging when needed and finalize the
launch details.
It is not primarily aimed at users or new contributors but we may
organize some training and hands on sessions during the last 3 days of
the hackfest (March 30 to April 1). Apart from that any contributor
involved in the release process is strongly encourage to join.

Please let us know you are coming by registering on the Bangalore
Hackfest 2011 page <http://live.gnome.org/Hackfests/GNOME.Asia2011>.

*GNOME.Asia Summit 2011*
/April 2 2011, Bangalore, India/

Right after the GNOME 3.0 Bangalore Hackfest, we will jump on the
opportunity of having a lot of the GNOME developers already on site to
aim for the greatest GNOME.Asia Summit of all time. Now in its forth
year, GNOME.Asia Summit will have the pleasure to continue to bring
GNOME to users and developers in Asia and more specifically India this
year, but also to celebrate the release of GNOME 3.0 with the people
who actually write the software!
The event will bring the light on the GNOME desktop both from a
applications and a development platform point of view, as well as
strengthen the GNOME community across borders.

Visitors should expect great insights into how GNOME 3.0 will
transform their desktop experience, the changes and improvements under
the hood and how to make the best out of this new desktop environment
both from a developer and user perspective.

The call for papers is already out at
<http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/CallForPaper> and we hope to receive
a lot of submissions from the Hackfest participants. We are also
finalizing our call for sponsors and, depending on the momentum,
planning for an extra conference day to cover all the topics (based on
available budget and paper submissions). So stay tuned and visit
Gnome.asia for the latest information!

---- announcement end ---------

Thanks a lot.

Fred
