<jean7491> Hi to all, who is here for the meeting ?
<pvandewyngaerde> a little
<nefast> I'm here for the ambiance
<nero_> check, although I'm also busy on something else in-between
* guydup (~guydup@d51530769.static.telenet.be) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
<jean7491> hello pvandewyngaerde nero_ nefast
<jean7491> Janc ? others ?
<nefast> Hi there, jean7491
<JanC> yep, I'm here
<nefast> Hah, I am so used that people put their year of birth behind their moniker in games, that I thought -for a second- you were born in 7491.
<nefast> But then I realized that I am a moron!
<JanC> nefast: do we know you under another name from the mailing list or something?
<nefast> Nope, sorry.
<nefast> Should I stay away?
<nefast> I'm just another Belgian waiting for 10.04
* guydup est parti (Quit: Java user signed off)
<jean7491> anybody else for the meeting ?
<JanC> nefast: no, you're welcome to follow the meeting and even to give your opinion etc.
<nefast> Ah, ircmeeting.
<nefast> Ye gods, I was confused.
<JanC> nefast: actually, you're always welcome here  ☺
* jean7491bis (~jean74911@109.236.140.95) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
<nefast> Sorry, I thought people were talking about a releaseparty.
<JanC> release parties are in May  ;)
<nefast> Which makes my confusion even more embarrassing.
<jean7491> siegie ?
<jean7491> let's start with the topic 1 – past and future events 
<jean7491>  first t item : dipro ghent 18/04 - report 
<jean7491> i just read the report in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Gent_2010-04-18, has anyone comment ?
<jean7491> JanC : do you have comment on dipro ghent ?
<JanC> sorry, was reading the report
<jean7491> ok
<pvandewyngaerde> did you actually sell any tshirts ?
<JanC> 2 t-shirts, to team memebers  ;)
* massimo21 (~massimo21@212.87.107.149) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
<JanC> but I could have sold more if I had had other sizes available
<JanC> maybe we should buy some more t-shirts...
<JanC> (and maybe other stuff)
<pvandewyngaerde> what did the organisers of dipro say abou the thirts selling ?
<JanC> nothing
<pvandewyngaerde> did you ask ?
<JanC> AFAIK it's okay as long as we don't sell things in competition with other stands
<JanC> didn't ask, but looksaus did in the past
<JanC> pvandewyngaerde: I still have a lot of kubuntu t-shirts BTW  ;)
<jean7491> other comment ?
<JanC> no
<jean7491> ok, next item : dipro antwerp 09/05 
<jean7491> bram will coordinate the booth,
<pvandewyngaerde> JanC: about those t-shirts, have you asked on the mailing list ?
<jean7491> a few names are already in te wiki,
<JanC> pvandewyngaerde: I will, I need to update my list of available t-shirts first
<jean7491> the team is not complete, we still need additional volunteers  (at least 3)
<jean7491> the improved booth will be 6m. x 4m., with more place for 10.04 individual experience
<jean7491> anybody here from antwerp area ?
<JanC> or other volunteers who want to help people install ubuntu in the afternoon?
<jean7491> no answer for the moment, next item : release parties Lucid Lynx 10.04lts 
<jean7491> press release will be discussed in the next topic “promotion”
<JanC> nefast: where are you from (if you want to answer that) ?
<nefast> I'm from Leuven.
<JanC> nefast: are you interested in helping at install parties, fair booths and such?
<massimo21> I know there will be an Ubuntu release party in Genk
<massimo21> It's organised by the bitmappers
<JanC> massimo21: of, course, a big one  ;)
<jean7491> events we know about have been added to the calendar http://ubuntu-be.org/en/calendar, look at may 2010
<massimo21> 16 mei
<nefast> I'm an university student, so my exams are coming closer.
<JanC> nefast: but after that?
<nefast> I don't think I will be able to, in the near future.
<jean7491> are there comments about the events related to lucid lynx ?
<jean7491> about ghent on 13/05 ?
<JanC> Mike is doing that
<jean7491> yes, do you have new input from him ?
<JanC> not exactly
<massimo21> I have to go now, Hear you guys next time
<JanC> I think maybe there will be 1 or 2 demonstrations, drinks and help with installation for those who want/need it
* massimo21 (~massimo21@212.87.107.149) a quitté #ubuntu-be
<jean7491> i'll ask mike to post an update in the mailing list
<jean7491> other comment, if not next item other events (may and june)
<JanC> I will go to the release party in Genk
<pvandewyngaerde> http://0x20.be/Ubuntu_10.04_Release_Party
<jean7491> ok, thanks pieter
<jean7491> comment about uds or lgm ?
<JanC> nothing for the meeting
<jean7491> looking further, we started with the planning of activities in september
<jean7491> nothing else for past and future events, next is topic 2 - Promotion 
<jean7491> item #1- press release lucid lynx
<jean7491> press release lucid lynxwith reference to the associated events in the calendar
<JanC> I'm working on the PR now, with the input from De Bitmappers and you
<JanC> will send it to the list this evening, so that everybody can get a look at it (and tell me if something is wrong)
<JanC> Mark VDB will provide me with a list of press contacts this evening too
* tunix (~AndChat@188.188.104.88) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
<jean7491> imho the press release should be short, easy to be used or adapted by journalists ...
* velle (~steven@77.145-245-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
<jean7491> if too long, it is too difficult to summarize ...
<jean7491> better a short text with in annex additional explanation 
<JanC> I have been thinking about making a short version too, but it's difficult to say everything (release + release parties + ubuntu-meeting) in short  ☺
<jean7491> a long text will never be published ! better to summarize yourself and not by other people
<JanC> it all depends, the free newspaper you can find in the train stations often writes longer than is in the press release ;)
<JanC> but for those who want something short, I was thinking about making a short version indeed
* tunix est parti (Quit: Bye)
<jean7491> ok
<jean7491> the problem of the press release is an illustration that we need a public-relation team (proposed in the previous meetings) 
<jean7491> but unfortunately there is still no volunteer to work on 
<jean7491> other comment about promotion ?
<jean7491> if not,  topic 3 support points map status 
<jean7491> nothing new from mongolito404
<jean7491>  next, topic 4 – things living in the mailing list 
<jean7491> item #1 :   new ways/events to promote ubuntu: 
<jean7491> remember : all suggestions are welcome,  everybody can look for contact and propose activities
<jean7491>  example : we received a proposition from the computerclub monitor (niel) for a booth in  "de nielse computerdag" on 26/09. Such a local cooperation with a computerclub is certainly worthy 
<JanC> especially as their "rommelmarkt" will also attract new people
<jean7491> let's hope there will be volunteers from this area for the booth ! perhaps nero_ is interested, or anyone else from this area ? ?
<JanC> nero_: still awake?  ☺
<jean7491> we'll start with the planning of the "nielse computerdag" in june or august, we have enough time
<JanC> ok
<jean7491> this is the end of my agenda, other topic not in the agenda ?
<JanC> not from me
<jean7491> anyone else ?
<jean7491> last topic - next meeting proposed next wednesday 5/5 at 21 h.
<JanC> k
<jean7491> thanks to all for your participation, have a good night
