IRC meeting 12/05/2010 – Report Present at the meeting (in random order) : mongolito404, pvandewijngaerde, jean7491, Clamam, Andrej
1. Past and future events a. Dipro Antwerp (09/05) Report and pictures are in the wiki : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Antwerpen_2010-05-09 See pictures from a visitor : http://www.flickr.com/photos/didiermisson/sets/72157624034634548/ Summary: a successful event, but the "launch/install party" concept doesn't fit into the Dipro fair. Nevertheless, there was a continuous affluence of visitors from 10 to 17 h., no time for a pause! A few lessons learned : - Importance of an improved decoration and new lay-out for the booth, for an easier contact with the public, - It is worthy to ask a booth along a wall, and if possible close to the entrance and/or the food and drink facilities, - It is easy to add posters and flyers at the entrance of the event to inform and attract the visitors to the booth. - Promotion: local promotion for our Dipro booth with simple A3 posters is always possible, just have a look for good locations (to be done by the local teams!). b. Release parties Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS. - No report about (9/5) Release party in Brussel – dewereldmorgen.be and (11/5) Testrit with ubuntu in Kortrijk. - Ghent : Release party (13/5). mimor updated the information (http://mimor.be/release-party/lucid-lynx/ ) - Genk : Ubuntu-meeting (Bitmappers) (16/5) – details in the last mail from Fabian to the mailing list (12/5). - Ostend : Presentation/Install party organized by Ubuntu-be with the support of the local organization Zandletters on 29/5, 13.30 - 15.00 hr.

Promotion a. Press Release Lucid Lynx : no information about the result in the press. b. Public Relations. We need a Public-Relations Team (with people who knows about Public Relations). First step is to nominate new dutch and french press contact points. The main problem is to find a few motivated volunteers ! Who will answer to this call ? c. New banner to identify our booth in the events : exchange of ideas is going on in the mailing list. 3. Support points map status : see the summary in the mail from mongolito404 on 13/05/2010 at 10.51 hr. to the mailing list. 4. Things living in the mailing list a. New ways/events to promote Ubuntu. Remember : all suggestions are welcome, everybody can look for contact and propose activities. Examples : events in Ostend (29/5) and Niel (26/9). Has someone contact with the organisator of this event in Antwerp ? http://www.uitinantwerpen.be/eCache/ABE/80/65/597.Y29udGV4dD0zMDE0OTIx.html b. Update of the wiki (an old item still valid) The wiki page belgianteam/responsibility is in process being updated.
