1. Past and future events a. Dipro Kortrijk 07/02 - report Report and pictures are already in the wiki. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Kortrijk_2010-02-07 Although only 3 volunteers, everything was OK. Thanks to an initial stock of 50 home-burned CD's, we have not wasted our time with copying cd’s and we were always available for the visitors. How much cost such CD’s ? (prices from the last Dipro) 100 CD-R’s for 21 euro + 100 CD sleeves for 2 euro + cost burning CD’s (?) + printing sleeves (?) + time (?) = probably 0,25 to 0,35 euro/CD. Pressing our own around 0.50 euro, Canonical shop is 0.93 euro/CD. Ubuntu-be should buy a stock of blanco CD-R’s and blanco CD sleeves. The promotion kit for teams organizing booths should include 50 blanco CD-R’s + sleeves, posters and flyers. b. Fosdem 2010 We got some nice help from people from ubuntu-nl ("ertai") & ubuntu-ie (Laura Czajkowski) at the booth. After the inventory is done, JanC will write the report, including lessons learned for next year, and add links to pictures in the wiki page. c. Antwerp - Hobby & computerdays - 20–21/02/2010 In cooperation with HCC regio Vlaanderen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Antwerp_2010-02-20_21 We still need additional volunteers for Sunday 21/02. nero_, our "HCC contact", will inform guydup ([email protected]) about exact hour for delivering (on Saturday) and pickup (on Sunday) of the multiseat computer, parking information and a phone number from the contact. Need 6 chairs or 2 benches for the people working on the multiseat. How many CD’s to be prepared : likely 2 x 50 with sleeves. Some CD’s and sleeves are available in Ostend and can be brought by JanC to Antwerp, with the stock available for selling. d. Dipro Brugge 28/02 For now, 3 volunteers in the team (wiki) : we need additional volunteers, if possible, involving new people. Preparation : see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Brugge_2010-02-28 e. Dipro Charleroi 07/03 See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Charleroi_2010-03-07 f. The digital week 06-12/03 On 11/02 Ubuntu-be will be present in Ostend with a booth (forum-room bibliotheek Kris Lambert) http://zandletters.be/spip.php?article150 and see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/DigitalWeek-Ostend_2010-03-11 Additional volunteers are welcome. 2. Promotion material Comment about the proposal to burn CD's for Ubuntu-be ? See last week reports (in the wiki) On 05/02 Steven Leeman wrote some details about Hardy Heron CD's, link to http://www.kopieer-cd.be/prijzen/cd-produceren-prijsklasse.jsp and the fact that no sponsor logo was used, only url's. Guy said he wants to buy at least 200 CD's if we press our own and MarkVDB also said he wants to buy or pay for some. Through IRC meetings, we can discuss in group the basic need : what? how many? When?, ..., but we need a small group collecting and investigating informations. We should ask a dedicated team to compare the possibilities and to make concrete proposals, including prices-offers. Then we can take a decision. Who is volunteer to lead the team ? bbartek can still do some work like driving to Germany to deliver the master CD or something like that but has no time to lead a project. Last week, Adcomp proposed his help for creating the ISO. 3. Support points map status No new information, mongolito404 is not present. 4. Things living in the mailing list a. As already mentioned last week, we should find new ways/events to promote Ubuntu: all suggestions are welcome! Wamukota suggested Ubuntu-be participation in all kind of open-doors organized by schools : we can extend this suggestion to all kind of hobby fairs locally organized by associations or cities. local initiative is the cornerstone of success : everybody can look for contact and propose activities b. About the procedure for re-approval-application : the LoCo Council meeting about the Re-Approval of our LoCo team is planned on 16/02 at 21.00 hr. all members of the loco team are invited to take part to the meeting on irc #ubuntu-meeting. The draft is available in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ReapprovalApplication2010-Draft, it can be amended till 12/02. c. Suggestion of a monthly report (JanC) : was supposed to be discuss during Fosdem – the item will be review at the next meeting https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamReporting/HowTo 5.
