I think it is of utmost importance that big events have numerous sponsors, both large and small. Local businesses ought to be encouraged to support events. I'm not sure what sorts of local business organizations exist in Europe and Asia but something similar to the Chambers of Commerce here in the USA likely do, and would be useful as primary contact points to reach out to for donations. > 2.

Since the advent of GNOME 3 we have seen a severe fracturing in the ecosystem, which is not benefiting anyone. Reaching out to related projects (Unity, Cinnamon, Mate, ElementaryOS, XFCE, etc) and asking them to participate in GUADEC, GNOME.Asia, the Boston Summit is vitally important. GNOME is about more than just the shell and recognizing that everyone who uses GNOME technologies is, or should be welcomed into the project. > > 3. How to raise and increase the fund for GNOME Foundation ? I've touched on this elsewhere, so I'll be brief: We need to increase individual and small-business donations. There are many ways to do so which we have left untapped including Facebook & Google Wallet donations, encouraging the use of AmazonSmile and similar programs, etc. > > 4.
