Announcing the GNOME India list :: GNOME Marketing
Hi,
A warm welcome to the GNOME India list.
What is GNOME?
--------------

In recent times, the development efforts and initiatives in the domain of localisation has seen tremendous development activity with the GNOME platform. We believe that this list can thus help in promoting the use of GNOME desktop and development platform among general public (users) and developers in India. The medium for such an effort is this mailing list ::
gnome-in-list@gnome.org
This mailing-list is kindly provided by the GNOME project as a place for advocacy, chit-chat, event planning, and promoting the use of GNOME desktop and development platform in India.
This is a regional list of GNOME Marketing Team -
Why this mailing list?
----------------------
The list aims to analyse, visualise, strategise and ideate on the various aspects of promotion of GNOME in sync with the aims and objectives of the GNOME Marketing team. Through a collaborative effort incorporating the best element of the classical F/L OSS model, the list aims to reflect the vibrant and emerging interest in GNOME.
We hope to provide a place for discussing the regional advocacy and event organization efforts of GNOME in India.
This list may work as the central place of discussion for the Indian GNOME hackers (may their tribe increase!!), for planning on local level GNOME advocacy, demo sessions, and for the discussion of the various GNOME localization projects going on in the various corners of India.
Moreover India wide promotion campaigns/activities for GNOME can also be discussed here.
Your presence on this list reflects your abiding passion for GNOME and we hope that together we can share our knowledge and experiences to create a community of believers.
