Re: How to open Gnome Malaysia Usergroup

[Brian Cameron <brian cameron oracle com>]

Mohd:

Thank you for expressing an interest in setting up a GNOME Users Group.

Note that The GNOME Foundation has official User's Groups sign the
"Trademark Agreement for Users Groups" which you can find here:

  http://live.gnome.org/Trademark

So, the first step would be to send board gnome org a signed copy of
the form if you find it agreeable.

Also the gugmasters mailing list is for people interested in GNOME
User's Groups, so it would be a good forum to join and discuss further.
Information about the list, including subscription information, is
here:

  http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gugmasters-list
  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gugmasters-list/

There is also a mailing list for GNOME users in Malaysia:

  http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-my-list

Also, you might find the asia-summit-list to be a useful resource for
general Asian GNOME topics:
