Hi,
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

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.
