Foss.in is probably going to be in December this time. If you guys are
inclined we can do Gnome asia just before or after foss.in, so the big
gnome crowd can hang back and make a huge impact at foss.in as well.

Ofcourse, this is just a suggestion. I hope it doesnt hurt anyones
sensibilities (I am an organizer at foss.in ofcourse) :-)

Cheers,
