Hi Vincent, hi all, We are informed that there will be a conference in Malaysia named MOSC2011 (3-5 July, 2011), the organizer is asking us if we can send them some GNOME related goodies e.g. dvds, stickers, tshirts to distribute in their conference bags.They target to have 300 participants. So the quantity will be 300 pcs each. For less and more value goodies, they will distribute them through questionnaires or lucky draw. Please let me know if you have any to give away. Besides, they want us to provide speakers to talk about how to develop GNOME (app) for newbies (beginners) and a brief introduction of the GNOME community. Other topics can be proposed by the community as well. I am asking Bharath (based in Bangalore, India) to see if he has time to go, otherwise, if you are interested or you have anybody in mind to recommend, please let us know. The organizer can provide 2 - 3 nights of hotel for accommodation. Thanks!
