Re: Annual Report, GNOME Journal & Quarterly Reports

Hi Brian and all,

 I am working on the GNOME quarterly report for about one year, this sounds
like a good idea to combine the GNOME Journal and GNOME Quarterly report. I
am happy to work with GNOME Journal team to make things forward. How does
everyone think about this idea?

Adding a new section to GNOME Q1 report

[Emily Chen]

Hi all,

I am thinking about adding a new section to to GNOME Quarterly Report: *GNOME
Users Groups. *We can start from Q1 report. [1]

Recently, there are lots of new users group build up and GNOME community
growing rapidly after GNOME 3 launch parties. It would be great to share
those news on the GNOME Quarterly report.

Content for the new section will cover :

   - New users groups founded
   - Featured activities hosted by GNOME Users group
   - GNOME store sales report which run by users group
   - other news

I will be happy to coordinator with writers for the the new section " *GNOME
Users Groups*" . The GNOME.Asia team will also be a support team for this
section since they are heavily involved in building GNOME Users Group world
wide.

If marketing team think this is a good idea then I will go ahead to create a
new section in the wiki for our Q1 Report [1].

We got lots of "best photo" during the launch of GNOME 3.0 Launch Party.
Thank you for initiating the idea.

How do you think that we promote this PhotoCompetition on the website as

Hi Allan,

That's great.

I edit the wiki to add a table, for people to update their photo links on
wiki. They also need to send us by email as well.

After we finalized the draft, can we announce it on www.gnome.org or
www.gnome3.org sometime?

I know in some GNOME Launch parties, like in Beijing and Taipei, they are

Another topic the local launch party organizer proposed is : "Write GNOME
shell extension step by step". One speaker in Taipei gave about this talk in
last GNOME.Asia 2010, we are planning to share and re-use this slides with
other launch parties.

That's why I am think a general and public slides to introduce GNOME 3.0
will be very helpful for our 120+ launch parties all over the world.

About the date, most of the launch party will start after April 6th. Yes,
Allan, you are right. we will get  plenty of GNOME 3 presentation slides
after GNOME 3.0 Hackfest :)

Thanks,
-Emily

Any Shared Slides - "New Features for GNOME 3.0"

[Emily Chen]

Hi all,

I am writing to ask is there any public shared slides to talk about "What's
new in GNOME 3.0". Since we are going to have 120+ Launch parties in April,
a slides like this can be reused and shared with some launch parties.

Thanks for offering. People will be interested to use your tool to download
all photos locally.

For the best photo, I am thinking the best way should be on-line.  The most
visited photo ? Do we officially create a set for Best photo, can we share
the account to upload photos ?

Re: GNOME 3.0 parties - photo gallery and Photo competition ?

[Emily Chen]

For Best Photo Competition, in my mind, it is easy to do if we choose one
photo tools, like picasa or flickr.

For example, let's say we will have a photo set called "GNOME 3.0 Launch
Party" , everyone can view and vote on each photos.

Is there better tools for Best Photo Competition? Anyone can suggest ?

GNOME 3.0 parties - photo gallery and Photo competition ?

[Emily Chen]

Hi Allan and all,

I would like to continue our discuss about a possible photo gallery or Photo
competition for GNOME 3.0 launch parties.

Currently, we use the official tag *#gnome3parties* for photos, and we
encourage every party to blog / tag pictures, send their blog links /
uploaded picture links to gugmasters-list(at)gnome(dot).

Besides this, are we going to have the best photo competition? A prize for
the best photographer could be a T-shirt?

I cc: Agustín kof...@gmail.com, since today he asked me about how to work
with photos.

-Emily






The official tag has been announced, which is *#gnome3parties*, I already
informed all the party organizers by email as well.
We asked them to blog / tag pictures, send their blog links / uploaded
picture links to me or to gugmasters-list(at)gnome(dot)
org. We will publish those event pictures and blog links in the
gnome3.orgwebsite to share with everybody.

Yes, The place where host the launch party will likely to became a GNOME
Users Group. All the organizors' contact will be added to
gugmasters-l...@gnome.org .  We should follow up
with them for future activities.

After the activites, all the parties will required to submit:
1. Blog
2. Photos
3. Videos

It would be great if we define a tag for those medias. How about define tag
as :  *GNOME3_launch_party*
Then we can easily to search all the photos, video and blog from websites.

I like the idea from Allan to have a competition for the best *Photos*.
(Photos is much easier and more than videos. )

Re: FoG Posters

[Emily Chen]

It is a good idea and we should do it.

Just one question, do we need to design new FoG posters for sale or use the
one which we signed with all board's names on it during GUADEC 2010?I
suggest we never sale the one with Board's signature to make it special.

Re: Packets for Local User Groups

[Emily Chen]

Yes, that's a good idea. A GNOME packet sounds like a GNOME event box ?

In Taiwan's case, we can send a GNOME packet for the next COSCUP 2011, the
local taiwan users group can host a booth in the conference. After the
conference, the packet can be managed by the local users group for future
events and activities.

Re: Cool GNOME Video for GNOME.Asia Summit

[Emily chen]

hi all,

Thanks for sharing those interesting videos. It would be better if I can 
I find the original file of those videos. We are planning to play some 
videos in the main conference hall during the registration time. It is 
about half an hour before the opening, for those people who finish 
registration earlier they can enjoy videos before the session start. I 
have got two videos now, still looking for more.


We are also thinking about to make some fun video after the first 
GNOME.Asia Summit. It might be a good idea to start a video competition 
program to choose top videos. This is not only for GNOME.Asia Summit, 
but also for GUADEC and for GNOME community.


Any thoughts or ideas?
-Emily

Maybe if you asked the artist who created this video, he might be 
willing to add some "GNOME.Asia Conference" text (or whatever you

want) to that video.

Are there any videos about GNOME which is funny, passionate and cool 
enough to promote GNOME. We are thinking about play those videos 
during GNOME.Asia Summit to attract audience's attention, to explain 
what is GNOME and show them the passion of the GNOME community.
Video is one of the best media to promote GNOME, let me know if you 
already have one or make one for the Summit.


Thanks in advance,

Re: Candidate names for GNOME Asia Event in Beijing

[Emily Chen]

Hi,

Most people think GNOME Asia Summit is a good name, but not GAS. From 
the dictionary, Gas has some negative meaning. We don't want the first 
Asia event to be gas.

How about GNOME Asia Conference?  The attendees will be around 300 
people, it is as big as a conference.

Hi all,

Anyone know the definition set of different levels of sponsors for 
GUADEC? Where can I find some related documents ?
For example, How much they need to pay if they want to be a 
golden/silver sponsors. What kind of things a golden/silver sponsor can do?

Any help will be appreciated !

Candidate names for Gnome Asia Event in Beijing

[Emily Chen]

Hi, 

We are working on planning the Gnome Asia event
in Beijing in 2008 now,  we are going to make this a "Guadec East"
conference that will be targeted at developers, users and students in
Asia. The conference would be held in late September,  2008. Currently
we have several candidate names for this conference : 
1. Gnome Asia Summit (GAS)
2. Gnome User And Developer Asia Conference (GUADAC)
3. Gnome Beijing Summit (GBS)
4. Gnome Asia Conference (GAC)

We would like hear your opinion about these names, if you have better
idea, that will be great! 

Thanks,
Emily

Re: GNOME events in Beijing

[Emily chen]

Hi Quim,

Thanks for your  reply and suggestions. 
Now I have a basic idea of what's future Beijing Gnome Events like: It
is not as big as Guadec, focus on East Asia, about 100~ 200 people,
last for 2~3days. The best place is university or research
institute. The register fee is free. The aim is get local Gnome
developers and users together. Sounds a good start. 

Well, there are some questions in my mind : 
1. How to contact potential sponsors? Who will do this job, in the name
of Gnome community ? 
2. Who is the official organizer? 
3. What kind of help we can get from Gnome community? Besides the web
page server. 

We (Sun JDS team) can not do
all the things, but we are willing to help and coordinate. The support
from Gnome community is important.
I cc: Sun China JDS manager Paul Mei and team lead Harry for more
discussion. 

Thanks
Emily

On 8/1/07, Emily Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
  
  
http://desdeamericaconamor.org/blog/node/377

  
  
  
  
Since
you have rich experiences of organizing many GNOME events, below are some
points I would like to discuss with you: When, What, Who, How.

  
  
Well, I have experience organizing just one GNOME event, but in this
list we have a lot more expertise!
  

Great. Would like to hear more feedback from expertises in this
marketing list.



  
 When
 Olympic games will be host in Beijing in 2008 August. The GNOME events
should avoid this time. May 1st ~ 7th and October 1st ~ 7th are public
holiday in China. We should also avoid those two weeks. If the GNOME Beijing

event will launch in 2008, the best time will be April and Late October
(Neither hot, nor cold).

  
  
I don't have a strong opinion between both months. One year is a
conservative margin to organize anything well. If unsure I would point
to October. But the good answer needs to come together with an

overview of the local agenda of free/software activities in the area +
the international agenda.

Well, for this first edition you probably want to aim to something
honorably humble, so perhaps the international agenda is not that

relevant, but avoiding overlaps is always good.


  
  
 What
 What kind of Beijing event is going to be? Like GUADEC, or Boston summit?
Or like Mozilla developers' day -- all the developers from the same area get
together, know each other and discuss some technique topics?


  
  
You don't get a GUADEC or a Boston Summit in a first step, and perhaps
you don't even want to have an event like these.

Start small and make it grow with next steps. Nobody beats China in

this principle.  ;)


  
  
How many days it will last ?

  
  
I would recommend targeting at 2 days being receptive to increase to 3
if there is such a demand in terms of papers presented and interest.
The complexity is more related with size (amount of participants and

simultaneous sessions) rather than one day more or less.


  
  
 Beijing Gnome event will be a international conference or a local
conference?  In another words,  does Beijing event target in the China Gnome
community or the whole Asia area?

  
  
Only China is huge, but Asia is immense. I would point to a conference
targeting the Far East with English as primary language and with place
for a local track in Chinese. Think that FLOSS.in is doing quite well

attracting the Indian area of influence, so you don't need to
concentrate of that part of Asia.


  
  
 Will other Gnome developers & user from American or Europe also join this
Beijing event.

  
  
If the program is good/unique, many people (mainly the professionals)
will find the time and money to get there. I wouldn't get obsessed
with the non-Chinese, though. At the end this has a lot to do with the

money you get from sponsors and their interest to make this event
international or not. Getting institutional support is something key
when we talk about knowledge / innovation / IT industries. Look

linux.conf.au, they succeed abducting many Europeans and Americans to
the other side of the planet.

But don't forget: your success will be based in the local assistance.
Only Beijing city can make this event successful, imagine if you add

people coming from other Chinese cities and the closest countries.


  
  
 Who
 Developers, Users, Students , who is our main target user?

  
  
Being practical, think that you need to get like 50% of the
participants (say 100 people) only from Beijing city. What profiles
should you target to get this amount? These profiles will be probably
useful to extrapolate to wider audiences.



  
  
 How
 There are many things in my mind need to consider :
 1.  Set up a website for Beijing
