Well that's exactly where I was getting at (glad you wrote all this). 
We've been pushing for GUGs creation in Asia through the GNOME.Asia 
Summits with some success but I feel a lot more could be achieved and I 
am realizing that communication with other GUGs hasn't been very active. 
I can tell from some GUGs website they are in needs of GNOME's topic, 
while the Taiwanese have nicely contacted us for ideas (which is great - 
at least there is a dialog and some needs).

With GNOME 3.0 approaching we should also leverage this network of 
involved people, that is if there are still involved.

I will look at the student task and follow up if I have any comment.

Thank you.
