Call for invitations to be the host of GNOME.Asia Summit 2009

[Emily Chen-4]

Hi,

We are soliciting proposals for hosting GNOME.Asia 2009. The GNOME.Asia Summit is planned to be an annual GNOME event hosted in Asia. We started the GNOME.Asia Summit in 2008 and we want to continue this tradition and spread GNOME throughout the Asian region.

The GNOME.Asia Summit will focus primarily on the GNOME desktop including both applications and the development platform in addition to larger GNOME-related community in Asia. The Summit brings together the GNOME community in Asia to provide a forum for users, developers, foundation leaders, governments and businesses to discuss a varied range of topics relating to GNOME and the GNOME community in Asia. Learn more about GNOME.Asia Summit from our website at http://www.gnome.asia/en/

The Summit has an active committee to assist the local coordinators, but there is a definitive need for individuals actively involved and committed to the planning and execution of the Summit. There are challenges to work through but the process can be a very rewarding and a lot of fun.

GNOME.Asia is much like a tiny seed we want to grow into a tree in Asia. We are looking for local organizers in any Asian country with the desire to take on and succeed in the challenges of organizing an excellent GNOME event.

The following two links are "must read items" for GUADEC, the European model for the Summit. It has also worked well for GNOME.Asia Summit organizers :

You sent this announcement out on June 15th.  Did you intend for the

Ah, yes, I see that now.  Sorry for the noise.

Looking closer at my mailbox, it seems that I just got flooded with
several dozen old marketing-list emails from late 2008 until now which
I had never seen before.  Since I just received the email I got
confused about when it was sent.

I assume that there a problem with marketing list emails being stuck
needing approval or something, that just got accepted and sent out
in a storm?

If so, then would it make sense to extend the deadline a bit for
the GNOME.Asia summit?

There was no active moderator on the marketing list and I think the sys admin team just corrected that. (Yeah!)
