Future Proposal to better grow GNOME in China
GNOME join OSS alliance in China
- There is an idea to start a OSS foundation is China
- Lots of process and policy, so first start a OSS alliance first
- GNOME will be a core member of this OSS alliance
- Emily has been join the first core member meeting to show support from GNOME community in China
Host a GNOME store in China
- We did this 4 years ago, but did not continue
- If we plan to produce GNOME gifts (Mousepad, T-shirts, stickers) in China, it is a good idea to re-open the GNOME store
- GNOME store used to hosted in www.taobao. com
Open Source camp for students
- Proposal by one Beijing GNOME community member
- Host Summer Camp for university and high school students.
- Including speech, lesson, workshop, install-fest, coding for fun
- GNOME/Linux, Theory, License about Open Source is the main topic
