While the Phnom Penh LUG meets every week almost, we don't have much news to talk about. Even if most of our discussions happen off-line, we're happy to inform you that the GNOME Foundation is launching a T-shirt design competition to prepare for the launch of GNOME 3.0. If you have some imagination or great ideas, then it's probably the time to fire up Inkscape (or you preferred design application) and give it a try. First prize entitles you for U$100 and 2 T-shirts of your own design, though we all know no one does it for the money!
On a side note, GNOME is also updating its Friends of GNOME program with new benefits, so even if you don't code you can always help to make GNOME better. The money collected is used for different causes such as providing travel subsidies to speakers at conferences and hackfests, which some of our Phnom Penh LUG members have benefited to get to GNOME.Asia last year, or outreach programs giving some marketing and coding tasks to students. Should you want to know more about the various GNOME Foundation efforts, the Foundation reports is a good start.
Every first Tuesday of the month
While we usually meet the first Tuesday of the month we've put our meetings on hold since June. Among the few reasons has been the difficulty to find a location where we can do presentations and have drinks (eventualy food) without bothering the other guests.
Meeting location
We currently have no venue, but can always look for a place should we have a special event.
If you are interested to present something to our group and discuss anything related to Free Software or GNU/Linux with our members, please feel free to contact us through our mailing list.
