Hi all,

We have several people contact us to show their interests in building a
GUADEC organizing committee.

To build a core and stable committee, the most important things we need but
we don't have yet are:
1. Regular IRC meeting
2. Wiki page for GUADEC committee.
3. Road-map and planning schedule

We already have a page for GUADEC : http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC , but we
need to create a page for GUADEC committee. We can add below sections to
this page:
Introduction about GUADEC
Introduction about GUADEC committee
Committee members
What committee members are working on
Useful Documents
Meeting Minutes
Other...

I just update the wiki and create Committee members
wiki<http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC/CommitteeMembers>to build a core
team from scratch.  We can add more members once they step
in and join us. It would be great if anyone of you can help on building this
wiki page for GUADEC committee.

We are calling for more volunteers and help now.

> We would like to setup both a GUADEC event committee and also a local team
> of volunteers on the ground at the event location. It would be very much
> appreciated if people with experience hosting past GUADEC events could get
> involved and help make this event a success.
>
> Even if the local team changes every GUADEC, there would be value having a
> core and stable event committee to ensure good planning going forward for 
> GUADEC
> 2012 and future GUADEC events.
>
> The GUADEC committee can help things on:
>
>    - Manage call for bids, including helping with review selection
>    - Build the website infrastructure including a registration system and
>    use it for every GUADEC
>    - Draft call for sponsorship, call for paper documents etc
>    - Share Sponsors' contact
>    - Have regular meetings (usually IRC) with the local team once the bid
>    is chosen
>    - Focus on continually improving the process, including post-event
>    reports.
>    - The event committee would help with international sponsorship
>    opportunities while the local team would likely focus more on local
>    sponsorship opportunities.
>    - Art design
>    - Other

> If you would like to help volunteer and organize GUADEC by being a part of
> a GNOME event committee, then please step us and let us know. We are open to
> any suggestions and discussion. We enourage you to use GUADEC-list [2] mail
> list and #guadec IRC channel at irc.us.gimp.org for more discussion.
