A 2011 GNOME 3 Launch Party was organized by the GNOME Users Groups of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Beijing. The Users Groups used video streaming so that five cities (Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung) were able to celebrate the GNOME 3 Launch Party at the same time. The groups created a how-to instructional video on justin.tv showing how to do this for other teams. The live stream picture is gnome3tw.jpg. For more pictures about GNOME-TW, you can click here. The Taiwan and Beijing Groups created a step-by-step guide on how to write a gnome-shell extension. The Users groups used Convore to chat in real time.

      The Desktop Summit is the big event for the GNOME community in the next quarter. It will be taking place August 6-12 in Berlin, Germany. Eleven Outreach Program for Women interns from the past two rounds of the program will be attending the event. They will do lightning talks about their work during the GNOME and KDE Interns Showcase session. First round's intern Chandni Verma will do a talk Knock Knock! What is new? about her experience with the program and contributions to Empathy. Encouraged by the last year's great GNOME women's dinner experience, we will gather for another one this year, making it an annual tradition. There will also be a Women's Networking BoF that will allow GNOME and KDE women to meet each other and talk about the work they are doing, how they started contributing, and the women outreach efforts in both projects.
