1. Past and future events - September 2010 a. Dipro fair 12/09 Antwerp - report It was a long busy day till +/- 16,00 hr., visitors were very interested in our booth. 5 volunteers were sometimes not enough to answer questions and contact visitors. It was a successful event ! b. Software Freedom Day (18/9) - http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/FrontPage Information session is planned in Ostend, in cooperation with Zandletters.be. Unfortunately the team reduces from 3 to 2 volunteers, not enough for 3 simultaneous workshops! JanC will help in Ostend and Frank in the afternoon. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/SoftwareFreedomDay2010 This is the only Software Freedom Day 2010 activity announced in Belgium. c. Dipro fair 19/09 Charleroi Team coordinated by Adrien and in cooperation with local LUG's. sarawa is willing to help. d. Nielse Computer Dag (26/09) in cooperation with local computerclub Monitor.

Adding (commercial and non-commercial) links to the website See detail/draft in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Website/Commercial_links-draft. JanC is working for an email address "[email protected]", as single point of entry/contact between companies and Ubuntu-be. As soon as the address is ready and tested, information and procedure will be posted in the mailing list and can be relayed through personal contacts. Hopefully in a few days. b. t-shirts for Ubuntu-be (warddr is leading the project) New design proposals received in http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/artwork/wedstrijd-ontwerp-de-beste-ubuntu-t-shirt/ See special (new) page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsT-shirts. Remember: the design has to respect Canonical guidelines about the use of Ubuntu logos (http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/). Timing: proposals can be sent till 22/09. During the next IRC meeting 23/09, we wil select a few design as preselection. Final decision at the IRC meeting on 30/09. We should start with 100 t-shirts (as previously agreed), and with pre-sale action (when final design is decided). Procedure? Through a wiki page or email to a coordinator, but no pre-payement, as too complicated. Eventual porto-cost for pre-sale can be included in the price. warddr could be in charge of the management of the stock t-shirts and following the sale of t-shirts and transfert of money to Ubuntu-be (TBC). warddr will contact Guy for details about BTW. c. Ubuntu and Facebook ? Not everybody is happy with, but it is a fact and we should take it in account and use the existing Facebook page Ubuntu-be. Before to use it, we should agree with the owner of the page about its administration. No contact yet with the owner and no reaction in the mailing list to the last report ! Clamam will lead a Facebook team in charge of the page. Interested people in cooperating on this Facebook issue will be welcome in the team : please apply through IRC meeting or mailing list. d. Ubuntu and Education A lot of things are related to Education: contacts with PCVO's a.o., promotion in schools, "Introductiesessie", "buurthuizen", what can we propose to schools ?, “ICTpraktijkdag”. Only 1 reaction to the previous report. We need an “Education-team” : someone should take initiative to start a discussion group (what can be done in this matter ?). 3. Update Wiki Belgian Team: Facebook Team has be added in wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Responsibility. 4. Support points map status : mongolito should start saturday with import of data's about support points, let's hope the problem will find a solution, no further info. 5.
