Dear Pockey,
We need to have more GUGs and Gnome awareness in India. So i want to
start a gnome user group in my college SRM University,Chennai , India
.While giving the talk on Gnome and student contribution and
interacting with different students in Gnome Asia Summit , I felt that
students are enthusiastic about contributing to gnome but they dint
know from where to begin their journey.Being the founder and
coordinator of SRM Linux user group ( www.srmlug.blogspot.com
<http://www.srmlug.blogspot.com>) it will be easy task for me to get
permission from administration for starting a Gnome user Group. I
would like to hear from you what else we need before starting it.
It's exciting to hear that you will start a GNOME User Group in Chennai,
India!
As mentioned, you have the passion and love to GNOME, you already have
more than enough to start a GUG! Please feel free to follow the steps
and tips from my slide (Building GUG) here
<http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit/Slides>and then start your
first meeting!
Please also add your group to
http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups#GNOME_India so other people can find
you from our GUG list.
Regarding building a website, if you need help of having a domain name
or hosting service, please feel free to let us know.
Besides, we noticed that there is a demand of purchasing GNOME
merchandises e.g. tshirts in India :)
If your GNOME user group is interested in building or working with other
companies to provide GNOME merchandises (with reference of
http://www.zazzle.com/gnome) to Chennai or the Indian market, please
consider to sign the "Trademark Agreement for Users Groups" with the
GNOME Foundation which you can find here: http://live.gnome.org/Trademark
If you would like to help us to establish a GNOME store in India, please
send [email protected] a signed copy of the form if you find it agreeable.
All the best and do keep us posted on the status of your GNOME User Group!
Pockey
