As part of the GNOME.Asia Summit Committee, I would like to post the Call for Host of the GNOME.Asia Summit 2010 here and let all the communities in Asia know that we are looking for potential host this year. Please find below the announcement and don’t hesitate to pass the message along!

Dear GNOME friends,
We are call for the host of GNOME.Asia Summit 2010 now !

GNOME.Asia Summit is the yearly GNOME Users and Developers Asian Conference. The event focuses primarily on the GNOME desktop, and also covers applications and the development platform tools. It brings together the GNOME community in Asia to provide a forum for users, developers, foundation leaders, governments and businesses to discuss both the present technology and future developments.

GNOME.Asia Summit was held in Beijing, China during 2008 and in Ho-Chi-Minh City, Vietnam during 2009. We would like to continue finding new national locations as we spread GNOME throughout Asia, and we are looking for local organizers to rise to the challenge of organizing an excellent GNOME event. The GNOME.Asia committee will assist in the process, but there is a definitive need for inpiduals to be actively involved and committed to the planning and delivery of the event.

You can learn more about GNOME.Asia Summit at our official website: http://gnome.asia
The following two links are “must read items” for organizing the GNOME.Asia Summit: How to and Check list

If you are interested in hosting the summit please submit a formal proposal to the GNOME.Asia Committee at asia-summit-list [at] gnome.org. The deadline for proposals is 31st March 2010. You are encouraged to ask questions before writing the formal proposal.

GNOME.Asia is much like a few trees just planted and we want to grow a forest in Asia. We are looking for local organizers in any Asian country with the desire to take on and succeed in the challenges of organizing an excellent GNOME event. We know that you will need all the time you can get to prepare a proposal but we hope we have inspired you to get started.

We are looking forward to hear from you on or before 31st March 2010.

Sincerely,
GNOME.Asia Summit committee

To improve higher technology, a traning for developers is a great help. You know what, there's another gadget being develop to enhance the use of computers. I think I have been watching too numerous supernatural movies, because today I swore I saw an advertisement for Skinput. Exactly what is Skinput? It is a prototype touch display that shoots an image to your skin and also you use your arm and hand like a keyboard. So instead of pulling out your cell phone to send that next text message you would pull up your sleeve and shoot a picture of a keyboard onto your arm. From there the vibrations would be sensed and exactly what you are trying to type (on your arm) would be sent! If this sounds like something from Back to the Future it's because it is! This technology isn't really ready for use yet but could be as early as two years from now.
