IRC meeting 03/02/2010 – Report Present at the meeting (in random order) : mongolito404, mimor, nero_, wamukota, jean7491, JanC, ADcomp, mandel, selckin
1. Past and Future events a. Dipro Ghent 31/01- report Report and pictures are already in the wiki. In his report, kws had some ideas about the repetition of Dipro fairs especially in Ghent : 4 fairs in 1 year is perhaps too much. Firstly we can skip the Dipro Ghent on 18/04. We should find new ways/events to promote Ubuntu: Accenta-fair (thanks Digipolis Ghent) seemed to be a good example. All suggestions are welcome ! Participation to the Digital Week through local initiative ? For more events, we should find a way to put the emphases on collaboration with existing groups. HCC invited us on their booth at Antwerp Dipro (20-21/02). Maybe we should seek for more collaboration like this (with LUG's or other computer clubs). About cost of the booth and CD's, we need a cheaper solution for (Ubuntu) CD's. b. Dipro Kortrijk 07/02 The team is at minimum level with 3 volunteers (yanu, wamukota and jean7491) We still need additional volunteers, but it seems hopeless! No problem of preparation, just a few coordination. c. Fosdem 2010 06-07/02 T-shirts, stickers, mouse mats, mugs, lanyards & keychains and ad-hoc flyers are available. Hardware : JanC - EEE 900 + Tux Droid, mongolito404 – idem + laptop? + Tux Droid, Adcomp - Acer Aspire one + dev board (arm processor) + touchscreen 4.3” d. Antwerp, Hobby & computerdagen (20-21/02) In cooperation with HCC regio Vlaanderen. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Antwerp_2010-02-20_21 nero_ (coordinator) will be present both days. We still need additional volunteers (2 each day) : wiki is updated with (JanC and Ward) (Jan B.?) e. Dipro Brugge 28/02 See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Brugge_2010-02-28 The preparation will start in the next days. 2. Promotion a. Material - Proposal to burn CD's for Ubuntu-be See last week report (in the wiki). Who will be in charge of this project ? Adcomp can help for creating ISO, if needed. The main thing to decide currently is how to finance it (both burning & pressing) : sponsoring is one way (we are sure about this income), making people to pay for is another (we hope to succeed!). Other possibility : no CD, but usbkey : better but more expensive ! We need more information about past experience with sponsors and covering the cost for 8.04LTS CD's in 2008. Of course, we would have to look for other sponsors. Perhaps there is a possibility for CD4s from Marocco : again we need more information (and guarantee). b. mimor suggests better contacts with bloggers-Ubunteros in Belgium : he will try to gather the Ubuntu blogging Belgians, as a start to pull Belgian Ubuntu users closer to the Ubuntu-be community. 3. Support points map status mongolito404 has something ready to test (not map, just list), need an host where to host a test site PHP 5.2+ , and testers to test the stuff when installed. selckin and mandel made propositions to help mongoliti404. 4. Things living in the mailing list a. The procedure for re-approval-application is started : the LoCo council meeting about the re-approval of our LoCo Team is planned on Tuesday 16/02 at 21.00 hr (Belgian time). All members of the LoCo Team are invited to take part to the meeting on IRC #ubuntu-meeting. The draft of the re-approval application is available in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ReapprovalApplication2010-Draft, but not complete. It is only related to the activities in which the Belgian LoCo Team was involved. Questions : What were the actions of Ubuntu-be in relation with "non-profit, and inter-governmental institutions" since 2006 ? What about schools ? JanC will continue to gather information during Fosdem 2010. b. Suggestion of a monthly report (JanC) Two advantages : regularly summary of Ubuntu-be life, and our activities will be more visible for the Ubuntu community, but more work ! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamReporting/HowTo Is there a volunteer ? It looks more like repeating copy/pasting every month and probably wiki markup cleanup. A motivated person with some spare time could probably do it. The idea is not to have a single person responsible of reporting everything in the wiki ! 5.
