[Ncr-Python.in] [Needs Help] Fwd: Call for GNOME.Asia Summit 2015 Host Proposals

[Shobha Tyagi]

Hi! All,

I have an invitation to write proposal to host GNOME.Asia Summit 2015 an
International open source conference in  my college i.e. Manav Rachna
International University, Faridabad.

I am really excited and wish it happen in NCR. I hope It will be a great
exposure for all the Open Source Enthusiasts.

To accomplish this task successfully I need to fetch few local (Indian)
open source sponsors for which I am worried as I have no clue where and
whom to contact.

Please help.
suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Shobha Tyagi

Call for GNOME.Asia Summit 2015 Host Proposals

The GNOME.Asia Committee is inviting interested parties to submit proposals
for hosting the GNOME.Asia during the 2nd quarter of 2015.

The GNOME.Asia Summit is the featured annual GNOME Conference in Asia. The
event focuses primarily on the GNOME desktop, but also covers applications
and the development platform tools. It brings together the GNOME community
in Asia to provide a forum for users, developers, foundation leaders,
governments and businesses to discuss both the present technology and
future developments.

GNOME.Asia Summits have been held in Beijing, Ho-Chi-Minh City, Taipei,
Bangalore, Hong Kong Seoul and Beijing respectively over the last seven
years. The Summit’s preference is to find a new location each year in order
to we spread GNOME throughout Asia and we are looking for local organizers
to rise to the challenge of organizing an excellent GNOME event. The
GNOME.Asia committee will assist in the process, but there is a definitive
need for individuals to be actively involved and committed to the planning
and execution of the event.

You can learn more about GNOME.Asia Summit at our website:
http://www.gnome.asia

Interested parties are hereby invited to submit a formal proposal to the
gnome-asia-committee-list<at>gnome<dot> org . The deadline for the
proposals is September 1, 2014. Please email your proposal to
gnome-asia-committee-list<at>gnome<dot> org. We might invite you to present
your proposal in more details over our regular IRC meetings or send you
additional questions and requests. Results will be announced by the third
week of September, 2014.

The conference will require availability of facilities for 3-5 days,
including a weekend, during the 2nd quarter of 2015 (between March and
June). Final event dates should avoid other key free software conferences
or other events that may have conflict and will be confirmed together with
other GNOME teams which might get involved. Key points which each proposals
should consider and which will be taken into account when deciding among
candidates, are:

   - Local community support for hosting the conference.
   - Venue details. Information about infrastructure and facilities to hold
   the conference should be provided.
   -

   Preliminary schedule with main program & different activities.
   -

   Information about how Internet connectivity will be managed.
   - Lodging choices ranging from affordable housing to nicer hotels, and
   information about distances between the venue and lodging options.

   on-site, cost of food/soft drinks/beer.
   - The availability and cost of travel from major Asian and European
   cities.
   - Local industries, universities and government support.
