Hi Suresh,

On top of what Fred advised, please find some GNOME related slides here:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/MarketingMaterial/Presentations
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit/Slides

And if you need help in getting a domain of srilanaka.gnome.org,
please send a request to the gnome-infrastructure list and specify
your need and requirements:
gnome-infrastructure gnome org
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure

All the best to your event and your establishment of GNOME User Group!
Please do let us know if you have any other question and keep us

Dear Suresh,

First thank you for contacting us and showing so much interest in
promoting GNOME. I have copied the gugmasters-list@ as it is usually a
more appropriate place for those kind of requests.

For the goodies part you have unfortunately missed the launch party
offer by about 2 months (we sent goodies to any party organizer who
registered before February 15th). I am not sure when we will have a
similar offer again. My experience in Bangalore during the GNOME.Asia
Summit was that production costs in India were very low as. I assume
it stands true for Sri Lanka as well.

Considering you seem to be trying to organize quite a big event I
would aim to secure a few local sponsors (such as local IT companies,
NPO, companies targeting your people interested by technology). I
think if you're able to make a clear budget to cover water cost and a
few stickers/balloons/banner you will easily find people or companies
to support you. We will happily review your work if you need.

Regarding setting up a gnome user group I would first recommend you
this presentation that was given during the 2011 GNOME.Asia Summit:
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit/Slides?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Pockey-Building-GNOME-User-Group.odp

then visit https://live.gnome.org/UserGroups which goes into more details.

And then you can come back to us posting on gugmasters-list@ with
further questions if you have any.

I hope I managed to address your question and look forward to be able
to help further if needed.

Thanks.

Fred
