Terral didn't receive any response from Mario on getting back access to Social Network groups, so he will try to get better results through IM
Terral sent some more feedback on the GNOME.Asia site design which the team wholeheartedly accepted with some minor changes:
1. Sponsors logo moved to the top
2. top banners with friends of GNOME, GNOME 3.0 launch party and so on
3. Adding some icons for each section title (CSS styling)
Terral will give the green light and get the design implemented
Wers highlighted we need to explain what is GNOME.Asia versus GNOME
Utian added Indonesian communities feedback to the wiki already (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/UserExperience )
Wers is thinking of forming a "Success Measurement Team" together with the Usability and Marketing Teams

1. 6 - 8 April 2011 for hackfest
2. 9 april 2011 for conference
3. 10 april 2011 for tour
4. note: 22-25 Apr and 2 May 2011 are HK public holiday, Big IT conf in Feb. which might make it hard to get some of the sponsors
