<jean7491> comment about coming events ?
<massimo21> if there is a voulonteer for dipro Genk is welcome
<jean7491> like for all the fairs, we need volunteers !
<massimo21> idd
<clamam> this week or next week i will contact the volunteers again
<jean7491> and it will probably be more effective to contact all available local people
<clamam> that is what i do every time
<jean7491> ok, 
<clamam> but ther is liitle reaction
<jean7491> from my experience, +/- 10% answers ...
<massimo21> this time less
<jean7491> and 5 % positive answers
<jean7491> and it works !
<jean7491> if no comment, next topic ...
<jean7491> next topic # 2. Promotion
<jean7491>  item #1 Adding  links to the web-site 
<jean7491> till now, limited interest for the possibility ...
<jean7491> feel free to relay the information to interested people/companies/organizations through personal contacts
<jean7491> if no comment, next item ...
<Wamukota> is there a standard note about their benefits if we talk to them?
<Wamukota> we should all have the same message to them
<jean7491> benefit is an additional (gratis) way for ubuntu related promotion
<Wamukota> but why would a company put a link to their website if we have northing to give them back?
<Wamukota> They don't know anything about Ubuntu - just talked to my computershop
<Wamukota> He is all MS so no way he will promote something where he does not earn extra money
<Wamukota> so, what is in the deal for them?
<jean7491> he is not in condition for the proposal, forget it !
<Wamukota> if he is not, what groups must we target then? Schools? Goverment?
<jean7491> bottom line is to help/promote organizations using/promoting the use of ubuntu ...
<Wamukota> wrong starting point I think
<Wamukota> They want something back, and we have notyhing to give them
<jean7491> 1st it is only about organizations using/promoting ubuntu ...
<jean7491> others are not concerned ...
<JanC> Wamukota: this is *only* for companies that alread sell Ubuntu
<JanC> already
<Wamukota> oke, now I understand.
<jean7491> remember details in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Website/Commercial_links
<JanC> sell hardware with Ubuntu, services for Ubuntu, etc.
<Wamukota> Oke. Now just find a list of those companies.... any ideas how you would tackle that problem?
<Wamukota> I don't know of any company/organization that uses Ubuntu you know
<massimo21> people who have connections with a company showld take contact
<massimo21> like someone who knows aluPC
<jean7491> Wamukota , idd, you can remember the possibility for later, if ... 
<jean7491> i sent a mail to alupcs, but no reaction (yet)
<Wamukota> Well, I'll keep my ears and eyes open
<jean7491> later for mccb ?
<jean7491> other comment ...
<jean7491> next item ...
<jean7491> item #2  t-shirts for Ubuntu-be : as warddr (leading the project is not available today) we wait for his initiative on this issue
<jean7491> next item #3. ubuntu and education
<jean7491> jan b. is working on the topic (for 2 projects) ...
<jean7491> see his mails
<jean7491> in the m-l
<jean7491> any other information ?
<jean7491> next topic # 3. Update Wiki : suggestion or comment ?
<Wamukota> nothing from me
<jean7491> next topic# 4. Support points map status  
<jean7491> no new information from mongolito404
<jean7491> there are a lot of support points in the web-site without engagements !
<jean7491> It should be improved !
<Wamukota> Orwe must remove them from the list
<Wamukota> I do receive requests from new Ubuntu users, so the current system works even without a 'map'
<jean7491> idd, me too, ...
<Wamukota> there is no need to have a map, but like you said jean7491 many names are 'dormant'
<clamam> but a map is easy to reach volunteers for fairs
<Wamukota> put them in the fridge, ask them if they will participate
<Wamukota> if not, drop them
<jean7491> some people does not know that their support point profile is not correct, ...
<Wamukota> that's correct clamam
<massimo21> if you live in (example) bree you have trouble to find the nearest support
<massimo21> beacouse of the lack of map
<jean7491> i think mongolito404 will send later a remember mail to support points without engagements, ... about the map, ...
<jean7491> it is part of the project, but it takes a lot of time !
<jean7491> next topic # 5. Things living in the mailing list and others questions ? ...
<jean7491> are there other questions ?
<Wamukota> not from me
<JanC> not from me today
<jean7491> if no question, ... last topic, next irc meeting ?
<jean7491> I propose no meeting next week, ...
