Re: GNOME Speakers and goodies - MOSC2011



Here is an update!

Sankar will send 300 OpenSUSE GNOME 3 DVDs to support MOSC2011. If anybody else have other GNOME goodies to give away to MOSC2011 (Malaysia), please let us know!

Regarding speakers, we will most likely send a speaker from either India or China to save travel cost. Bharath / Akhil (and Emily) are following up with that now. Thanks!

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.
Would it make sense to send GNOME 3 DVDs? I can see if Sankar can do
that from India, else we can try to send boxes from Europe.

yeah! I asked them if they are interested in GNOME 3 DVDs, they do!
Please, if Sankar has 300 DVDs, Mohd can give an address in a separate email.

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!
So we used to maintain a wiki page with potential speakers for events:
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/Speakers. It's outdated, though.

Hopefully Bharath can go. Else, we might want to encourage other people
to speak at events -- I can think of Allan, Frédéric (although he can't
for this one), Fernando, etc.

I can check if I could go, but I'm going to another event the week
after, so I'd prefer to do that only if nobody else can and if it's
really an important event for us. That's something up to the marketing
team and to the board, I guess (as it involved sponsoring travel).

FWIW, I just looked and sending someone from Europe would cost
€1300-€1400, with a full-day trip (ie, 24 hours); which is quite some
money and time to invest. So I guess any final decision depends how
important our presence to this event is :-)

I totally agreed! It makes more sense to have someone nearby to join! I will have a irc meeting and Bharath should join, I will ask him later!
