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

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 :
