We have created a Gnome User Group in college and it
will always be active in organizing some event or meetup in the
college. Also I'm leaving the college next month but I will
remain in contact with my junior students and will guide them to
organize frequent regular meetups. Before leaving I will try to
organize one more meeting. I or someone from the our GUG will
keep on posting about their activities on this list. So far the
students were really interested to know how they can enroll in
various Gnome activities in order to make their contribution.
This time I gave the presentation about how we can contribute to
Gnome as a Developer and non Developer. Next time we will choose
some other topic according to the students interest. :)
We celebrated the local meetup for
Gnome User Group in our college and we found some
very enthusiastic students who are very much
willing to be the part of Gnome Community. And we
are now planning to have a much bigger Gnome event
in August-September in our college fest. I'm
sharing some photographs of GUG meetup (26 April)
at NIT Jalandhar
Congratulations! It's nice to hear from you about your
first meeting! How about having a regular meeting e.g.
monthly meeting? :-) so the next meeting will be in May.
What kind of activities members like so far? There are
some recommended topics here http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/GugTopics

We are trying to conduct a local meetup for
Gnome Users on 26th April 2011 in Jalandhar, India for
local people and nearby colleges. We invite
all you people to come and be a part of this.
It is just a small step to create our Gnome
community bigger and more active in India. I'm
attaching the event banner, please find it in
attachments.
Event will include detailed talks about the
various methods of Contributing to Gnome
and Contributing to Open Source through
Events and Media. Also there will
be some interactive sessions with users who
will be sharing their ideas, views and
experiences with Gnome.
