I will be attending GNOME.Asia this year (as long as my visa is accepted, which I will find out today), and giving a training session for newcomers as well as a talk for more experienced developers. I hope to make an impression on the attendees by demonstrating the GNOME developer experience, and hope that this helps in attracting new developers.
-- Google Summer of code / Outreach Program for Women ---- What's your plan for GsoC and OPW in Asia? ---- How many country get GsoC / OPW in Asia? What's your plan for promote it with more country in Asia?
I am mentoring a GSoC student from India this summer, but it is evident that there are not many GSoC applicants from students in south-east Asia. Is this because the GSoC timeline does not align well with universities in those areas, or are we simply doing a bad job at attracting those students? I do not know the answer, but I would like to hear any thoughts from Foundation members in Asia about what they see as a problem, and how the Foundation can work to solve any problems.
-- GNOME Foundation member in Asia? ---- How do we know our other member in Asia?( I suggest tobi last year, if they want to fill their country when foundation member renew or new ) ---- How do we get these member / resource together?
The only way that we have of doing this is by looking at names and email addresses of Foundation members. That gives us a rough idea of the location of members, but we could ask them directly when renewing. There are regional mailing lists hosted at gnome.org, but maybe there is a better way of contacting and organising Asian Foundation members (and potential new members).
-- Are you interesting to involve Asia event? and how do you involve? -- Anything you plan with Asia.
As an idea, maybe a director could have a role to communicate with Asian Foundation members to drive outreach in those areas. I know that there are representatives who report to the board about GNOME.Asia and GUADEC, but maybe regional outreach could be delegated to members in those regions, and communicated back to the board so that funding could be directed appropriately. The Foundation could direct funding for promotion at Asian events, by sponsoring the travel of Asian Foundation members, or possibly by purchasing a local events box. As I will be attending GNOME.Asia, I hope to engage with many Asian attendees, and to learn their perspectives on GNOME, as well as how we can increase membership and participation in Asia.
