Such efforts go a long way. The training Federico Mena Quintero's training sessions at Forum GNOME in Brasil <http://forumgnome.com.br/> is a stellar example of regional GNOME developer training. Sponsorship from Novell, Friends of GNOME and others helped make the training and free distribution of GNOME 2 books possible. Local conferences and hackfests, such as those in Spain, Australia and Bangalore also brought new developers to the platform. Ross has looked into doing this in Bangkok and I am talking to potential local organizers for such training in China. tim _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
