Hi Sri

The amount looks reasonable. Sabrina is responsible for our budget and, though we're still very constrained on what we can spend on, we have a little flexibility on smaller amounts.

Can you talk about how LAS GNOME would work on, discuss or showcase something about the base OS and middleware layer? GNOME and GNOME-related libraries are very often used. With that description, we may be able to get the funding.

Hey Thiago!

Hope you're doing good.  I was wondering if there is any chance of a sponsorship from Intel for LAS GNOME.  This year it is a lot more modest almost at the hackathon level.  I'm looking to see if we can get $500 sponsorship.  The conference will be held the first week of November at Stanford University.  We are primarily focused on students this year and it will be a good opportunity to show Intel support of Linux based applications.  Let me know if you could make an accommodations. I know it is difficult given the way things are Intel, but I thought I would ask all the same.

Best,

sri

About LAS GNOME - Libre Application Summit presented by GNOME

LAS GNOME is a unique conference whose goal is to create a viable application eco-system for operating systems based on F/OSS operating systems like Linux.  LAS GNOME focuses on creating conversations between Linux distributions, application developers, userspace engineers, Linux kernel developers and desktop projects in order to build a viable, measurable market for applications on FOSS desktops.  While modest today, we hope to scale to thousands of people in the future.
