<nero_> i'm using xchat now but got kicked out first time
<Clamam> pidgin works great
<jean7491> ok,  no problem

<jean7491> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Antwerp_2010-09-12
<jean7491>  second item,  Software Freedom Day (18/9) 
<jean7491> basic information is here http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/FrontPage 
<jean7491> an information session is already planned in ostend in cooperation with local zandletters association
<jean7491> are there other planned activities ? i don't know
<jean7491> no comment ?
<massimo21> no comment
<jean7491>  third item,  Nielse computer dag (26/9) in cooperation with local computerclub monitor …
<jean7491>  we need to compose team for this event
<nero_> since it is not so far from my home i can be there
<jean7491> nero_ did you receive my email about this event ? can you take the lead ?
<nero_> didn't see any mail
<nero_> who should i contact for the boot and so on?
<jean7491> ok i will send it again
<jean7491> mail is sent
<jean7491> next topic promotion
<jean7491>  2. Promotion
<jean7491> first item Adding commercial links to the website
<jean7491>  we already discussed the topic, see draft in the wiki
<jean7491> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Website/Commercial_links-draft …
<jean7491> before to launch the project and contacting companies, we need a central point of contact (email address) for this matter
<jean7491> i'm waiting JanC for the activation of an address like contact@ubuntu-be.org 
<jean7491> for contact between commercial companies and ubuntu-be
<massimo21> who will adminstrate the mails?
<jean7491> waiting action from JanC, and then i will mail the procedure and rules in the mailing list
<jean7491> idea is that the application are treated by interested members of ubuntu-be: just a question of internal coordination
<jean7491> 1 point of entry, and several interested members having access/receiving mails and coordinating internally before answering
<Clamam> what type of companies can we contact ?
<jean7491> have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Website/Commercial_links-draft …
<massimo21> But doesn't the ones that administrate the mails have the capability to insert the logo (link) on the webpage?
<jean7491> condition is a clear link with ubuntu : it can be supply, hardware, service, education, course, ...
<jean7491> once application agreed, it is up to website admin to implement the insertion of the links on the right page
<massimo21> I understand now
<massimo21> seems fair
* JanC est parti (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
<jean7491> additionally we have an Ubuntu-be.org Web Editors which can work as website admin
* JanC (~janc@lugwv/member/JanC) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
<jean7491> other comment ? JanC ?
<jean7491> if no comment, second item,  t-shirts for Ubuntu-be ? 
<jean7491> we are waiting for other design proposals 
<jean7491> see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial 
<jean7491> feel free to propose other designs
<Gh0sty> brr black :p
<jean7491> i hope we progress next month(s)
<massimo21> The propsed desings dosn't look bad
<massimo21> i like v4
<Clamam> the designs are good especialy design V4-be
<jean7491> ok, as i said, i hope more comment/progress next month
<jean7491> next topic  3. Update Wiki
<jean7491>  the part “How to contact Ubuntu-be Team ?” on the BelgianTeam home page needs to be updated, as not all the channels are used ..
<Clamam> Facebook !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<Clamam> it's the first question that Eurosys from Hasselt asked me...........
<jean7491> in fact we use : IRC #ubuntu-be and mailing list, and limited use : micro-blogging - identi.ca (!ubuntube)
<jean7491>  Not in use : Social networks (Facebook and Orkut) and Twitter (Ubuntu-be Twibe) 
<Clamam> Why are we not on facebook, a lot of people use it.
<massimo21> Linux.start.be
<Clamam> i think it's simple to start it up, what do you think
<massimo21> i think i's a good idea (ubuntu on facebook°
<jean7491> i never used facebook, and i'm not motivated to use it, ...
<nero_> neither do i
<massimo21> But it's for enlarge the channels that brings people to ubuntu
<Clamam> Most of the people i know are using it, maybe i can look in to it for making a page or something like that
<jean7491> i heard a lot of negative reactions, but the question can be raised in the mailing list
<jean7491> my point was to update the wiki and delete the part we don't use now (Facebook and Orkut) and Twitter )
<jean7491> to avoid wrong information in the wiki ...
<Clamam> ok
<massimo21> Ubuntu.com have a page on facebook
<massimo21> Don't get why not ubuntu.be
<jean7491> no idea about the content of ubuntu.com page on facebook, i suggest to mention it in the report, and up to you to continue in the mailing list
<Clamam> i can do a request on the mailing to see how many are for or against it.
<massimo21> ok
<jean7491> ok, better do it after the report of the meeting is sent
<Clamam> ok
<jean7491> another point is that ubuntu-be needs  email address(es) for direct contact (general and events) and support points with the Belgian Team 
<jean7491> people trying to contact certainly don't like mailing to an unpersonal mailing list
<jean7491> to contact ubuntu-be.org ...
<jean7491> idem as for contact about commercial links
<jean7491> if no comment, next topic
<massimo21> so you need more e-mails to administrate the different tasks
<jean7491> idd
* rulus est parti (Quit: leaving)
<jean7491> perhaps 1 for contact (in general), and if the trafic is too heavy, other email addresses
<massimo21> one appart for the events
<jean7491> i only speak about contacts from outside ubuntu-be and addressed to ubuntu-be.org (in fact  a few active members)
<massimo21> ore else the mails needs to be redirected (naargelang) the topic
<massimo21> oh
<massimo21> one will be ok
<jean7491> and we can see later if more is needed
<massimo21> yes
<jean7491> the contact address for commercial links could be used (when activated) - 1. action from JanC, 2. who is interested taking part to this "leading" group?
<massimo21> what will be the tasks?
<massimo21> of the leadin group
<jean7491> answering the questions after coordinating internally
<massimo21> I can
<jean7491> ok, i take note
<jean7491> other comment ?
<jean7491> next topic 4. Support points map status : nothing new, we are waiting for mongolito404 availability
<jean7491> other topic to discuss ?
<jean7491> if not,  last topic, ... next irc meeting ? proposed on 25/08 at 21 h. (we can always change day and hour if requested)
<massimo21> ok
<massimo21> bye
