... This fall, GNOME Foundation sponsored its first free-to-all two day Forum GNOME to train developers and telecenter teachers in Brazil. We were able to distribute free copies of the Official GNOME 2 Developers Manual to libraries and universities in Brazil, too. The 5th annual GUADEC (GNOME Users and Developers European Conference) in Norway included participants from 30 countries with subsidized travel for delegates from several countries. The foundation also organized a free three day GNOME Summit at MIT. ...
bagaimana bikin kegiatan serupa di Indonesia, dan minta disponsori juga (aduh pakai kata minta kesannya minta-minta, iya ngga sih? engga)
Wah bakal nggak bisa, tapi kalau buat Microsoft Seminar pasti lebih gampang dapet sponsornya. Alasannya tentu aja karena faktor industri, mereka yg punya duit dan peduli untuk meningkatkan nilai branding mereka.
Kalau para perusahaan yg menggunakan opensource sbg basis development mereka bergabung buat paguyuban, baru mimpi DAMT mungkin bisa terkabul :-)
Jadi kalau mentalnya "ngutang" atau "cari sedekah" ya pasti harus minta2 :-D
CMIIW karena saya sendiri nggak tahu bagaimana peta perusahaan pengguna opensource ini
di Indonesia. Saya dengar ASPILUKI terkesan elit karena mayoritasnya developer berbasis
produk M$.
