There are some plans to change/enhance the site (possibility to add "news", an agenda, a page with companies that offer Ubuntu-related services & products, etc.). That requires us to get together for 1 or 2 days with a bunch of people to make some decisions & get started though... Of course a more prominent "sponsor" link on the front page could be part of that. -1 on using Paypal though. People who want to sponsor us are most likely in Belgium or at least the EU, so they can use a simple money transfer, which means we can be sure their money arrives into our bank account, instead of playing the Paypal roulette with it. > And i was wondering, is ubuntu-be a "vzw" or something?

We're no vzw currently (don't forget: being a vzw means extra cost in time & money). -- Jan Claeys -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
