Hi guys,
Great work on the update of the wiki! I've got some ideas concerning the
education area. Why not make it a place where people can get education,
can educate themselves and can educate others?
The first part could be a list of companies who provide Ubuntu/Linux
training, or schools that organise these courses.
The second part could be an overview of places where you can find
valuable information about Ubuntu, such as magazines, websites, free
manuals, ... In short, means to educate yourself.
The third part, well, maybe it could be a summary of tools that can be
used in education in general, such as iTalc, Edubuntu, ... and maybe not
limit it to Ubuntu only, but include some general software that's handy
for education. This way, we could be a valuable resource for people who
want to use Ubuntu (or Linux in general) in education.
Just my 2 cents.
I would be willing to set this up or help setting this up, not that I've
ever used a wiki....

Hi guys
I've made a report of what we did yesterday. I kinda forgot to post a
reminder so I guess it's my fault that there was so little people to
help out.
Anyways, we've done quite a lot yesterday and I'd like to thank jean
and jurgen for their efforts! I'll add this report on the wiki as well.
We continued the work done the last time. We started from the top op
the homepage and digging deeper and deeper in the wiki. This enables
us to do see which pages are "lost" or without a link. They will not
show up on the homepage nor on the Legacy page.
= What we've done =
• Updated the homepage
• Finished BelgianTeam/FacebookTeam
• Removed the Pictures page as it only had 1 photo of Feisty Fawn. We
did note that the pictures can be found on the page of the even
itself. We also strongly recomment the use of the flickrpool. Make
sure to upload all pictures regarding ubuntu-be with the ubuntube tag.
• A little guidance text was written for the BelgianTeam/Approval
• We made clear that the ML is not a help or press desk, but a page
dedicated to support can be found on the website (link added aswel)
• For people comming on the BelgianTeam/PastMeetings true a
searchcomputer it was unclear where to find the new meetings. We added
a link to BelgianTeam/IrcMeetings
• We added a bunch of links to the german LoCo team (and
ubuntuusers.de as they seem to be connected so much)
• We made the support-point-manual on the website available on the
wiki homepage. This link comes instead of the initial
support-point-manual on the wiki. That page is added to the legacy
section now
= Remarks =
• There needs to be more active communitaction and decision making,
things go darn slow sometimes and this also results in the
effectiveness of both the wiki as the website
• We need to update the BelgianTeam/Responsibility but we have tell
first how we are going to be organized in the future
• BelgianTeam/Skills is something that should be added to your profile
on Ubuntu-be and not on the wiki. This ain't the place people are
going to look for it. If it are the other members who can search for
certain skills here the page should be maintained and updated. (IE
take out who's not longer active etc.)
• BelgianTeam/TeamOrganization is a sandbox for what U-be should
become. Once we agreed on this the content of it should be converted
to fit the BelgianTeam/Responsibility page.
• Please do not use placeholders, if a page needs to be created in the
future please do it then! Empty pages clutter our wiki!
• We need a team that bundles and works out a path to use ALL our
social networks in a decent way. a simultane notice on identi.ca,
twitter, Orkut and Facebook will strenghten us as we can target more
people in 1 move. There should be a way to add all 4 of them on a
structurized way to the webpage
• We've got a guide for the addition of links on the website. does it
belong under the contact section? How can we attract more companies to
join that page? (in addition how can we work more closely with
companies without giving up our freedom?)
• The BelgianTeam/PressCoverage should be updated, latest entry is of
2009/10/30. We either need some one (or a group of people) who update
this page, or we need to close it and make it a legacy page. Remaining
this page as an open/running page with no new entries makes it look
like we haven't got a single thing done the last year and a half.
• The belgianTeam/PressReleases is a great page but with only 1
pressrelease in it there seems to be a problem, again: pointing
someone responsible for this would resolve this.. PressContacts?
• Also, can someone please tell me why the title tags "= some title ="
don't work on this page?
• As for the Education page it also depents on someone who maintains
it. Without any current activities scheduled it is unclear what the
use of this page is. Clarification needed.
• Once again, same thing for the BelgianTeam/LocalizedCD. I believe we
suggested in january to wait until after Fosdem to continue talking
about this.
• Big kudos to Jean as all the pages that he looks after are a good
example of how to keep a wiki up to date. I do agree that it costs
jean tons and tons of work to keep it structurized and updated.
Nevertheless I think that if we give a bunch of people some kind of
authority over 1 or 2 sections it would dramatically improve the wiki.
• Events other then the dipro fairs need a fix plot. Just as
DigitalWeek, Software Freedom Day and Fosdem it is suggested to add
events who happen anually on this plot: BelgianTeam/NameOfEvent/Year
• We've got a double in the promotion material! To get more structure
jurgen and I moved the promotion section from
BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs to BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Promotion. A
little later we discovered a BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial. It is
suggest to merge these together, but we where uncertain which page we
should keep in place, ideas?
• The BelgianTeam/OSLessLaptopShops is a page that should be
maintained, jurgen and I are checking those who haven't been checked
since 2006 to see if they are still available. It is to our believe
though that we should try to have a tool like the supportermap where
we can map these companies on our website. If we could merge this with
the commercial_links on the website it would be nice. (This can wait
until the supporter map is finished at we can try to make this map a
spinoff of the supporter map)
• We made the support-point-manual on the website available on the
wiki homepage. This link comes instead of the initial
support-point-manual on the wiki. That page is added to the legacy
section now
• We should try to define the use of the website and the wiki beter. A
decent integration would benefit us. As jurgen said it: "The wiki
sould be more about a 'knowledge base' and not a 'who are we'? that
should be the ubuntu-be.org site. Although I understand that it is
hard to find a way that our website can be edited by everyone without
putting the whole infrastructure at risk. But a debat about this can
be handy.
• What do e do with the FutureEvents page? Do we ditch it or what?
Jean allready added the note that people need to put links on the
website, not on this page.
= Still to do (before the possible restructure of U-be) =
• add the links do the legacy pages
• map the "lost" pages
• add a link of the lates PCmagazine article about Ubuntu to
BelgianTeam/PressCoverage
• Translate the commercial links on the website to FR and GE (bug has
to be made)
• Place a link to the ubuntu-de wiki. right links can be found at
http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-de-locoteam
= Off topic =
New shirts are ordered!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I suggest to talk about these things on some of the upcomming IRC
meetings. Maybe we can add 1 topic each meeting or postpone some
not-time-critical topics for a week? (Although I believe it's most
important to talk about the structure change first)
kind regards
Wouter Vandenneucker
