Google, our Centurion Sponsor

Posted on by Pockey Lam

We are very happy to announce that Google is supporting GNOME.Asia Summit one more time and has taken the Centurion level sponsorship. In fact since GNOME.Asia inception in 2008, we have had a few companies backing up the event and Google is one of them. We’re of course very pleased to have them as a sponsor again in 2011 and take it that we must be doing something good. Thank you Google!

As a side note, we would also like to kindly remind everybody especially  participants of the GNOME 3.0 Bangalore hackfest that we’d love to hear about what you’ve been working on during the conference so we can all be inspired and receive in-depth coverage of your field of expertise. The deadline of call for papers is tomorrow (Feb 18). If you haven’t added your talks yet, submit one today!

The GNOME 3.0 Release Parties campaign has been more successful than we initially planned and we have reached more than 100 parties (precisely 116 parties from 38 countries by today)! Yes!

In order to give more support to those parties, we uploaded some web banners and the goodies artworks for everybody to use.  We are also building and regrouping materials such as slides, videos/screencast, live ISO images, flyers. Please feel free to localize and upload them in order to share with others. If you want to contribute to marketing material development, please join the GNOME Marketing Team and talk to us.

ps: for registered parties we have only received 60% of shipping addresses. So  please do answer our email with the right details before the deadline. else we might not be able to send you your goodies. Please contact me at pockeylam(at)gnome(dot)org if there is any question.
