The GNOME.Asia Committee is inviting proposals to host GNOME.Asia Summit during the 1st quarter of 2012. GNOME.Asia Summit is the yearly GNOME Users and Developers Conference in Asia. The event focuses primarily on the GNOME desktop, and 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. Please follow this link to view the full call for hosts.

Another instalment of the extensive coverage of GNOME.Asia summit by Mayank and Shashank Sharma has been published last night. They are looking this time at how the Gnome foundation cooperates with companies like Nokia, Oracle, and Canonical while keeping the community interests protected. Brian Cameron, Board Director and Secretary is answering their questions and touches a bit on the GNOME copyright assignments policy. Please do follow this link to read the full article.

Another excellent coverage of the people behind GNOME at the GNOME.Asia Summit by Mayank and Shashank Sharma. We are very impressed at how special attention has been given by the journalists to convey the interviewee message and find it refreshing to see one's message being transcribed unfiltered. So if you are interested in knowing what GNOME and Free Software has to offer this is definitely an article worth reading! Now for those who have missed the previous articles from the same team please do take the time to visit them too.

Something that is becoming almost a tradition at GNOME.Asia Summit is to offer a portable computer that runs 100% on Free Software to participants of the conference. Of course the machine runs GNOME but more importantly every components from drivers to BIOS has been selected to be able to run using free and open source software. This would not be possible without the support of Lemote as one of our long term sponsors and we hope it is something we can count on every year. So this year three Yeeloong have been won by one GNOME release team member Frederic Peters, one GNOME developer Ryan Lortie and one conference visitor, Sravanthi Joshi. For the technically inclined it is probably advised to subscribe to the Loongson development mailing list right here. We wish them good use of that little piece of hardware, which is the same machine that Richard Stallman is using at the moment!
