I am Haggen So, the team leader for GNOME.Asia 2012 from Hong Kong. We had an IRC meeting on Tuesday 6 Mar and found that we need to coordinate more than the Sponsor Brochures. An idea was to ask Karen to contact sponsor on behalf of both GUADEC and GNOME.Asia for a total amount of funding. Then the money would be split by a certain ratio, which was initially proposed as 2/3 for GUADEC and 1/3 for GNOME.Asia. We would like to hear from you any opinion on the matter and how we should proceed. An IRC meeting can be organised if needed.
