Hi guys! My name is Fred and I am ex-President of Beijing LUG and current Vice President. I am also on the board of Gnome.Asia summit and involved in a few other Open Source projects. Last year we organized Gnome.Asia summit in Beijing, China and we're looking for a team of motivated and passionate individuals to take leadership this year and organize it in a different Asian country/city. I was with mario Behling (LXDE) yesterday and he said the Saigon LUG would be very interested in doing so. We're actually sendint out a call for host on various Gnome mailing, to which I do not know whether you are subscribed. Here is what it says: 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.
