It was nice that we could share a booth with a computer club. mar 10 21:08:51 it was a separate booth, but on place of course, it is better to cooperate with other clubs mar 10 21:09:24 yeah... maybe it could be a great idea to invite clubs to add theirselves to the support points map? mar 10 21:10:13 last year, we were part of hcc booth, this year, it was a separate booth, easier to organize, but i was not present in antwerp mar 10 21:10:39 * vromh est parti (Quit: Page closed) mar 10 21:11:03 I was on Sunday - it was quite busy, but a pleasant ambiance. We had plenty of volunteers mar 10 21:11:19 about clubs, we are open for cooperation ! support map is another matter, more individuals mar 10 21:11:32 In my experience, we had more people who didn't know ubuntu yet, in comparison to other dipro meetings mar 10 21:11:39 love the report.. mar 10 21:12:40 about volunteers, we need to continue relation with volunteers after the event till the next , but need of local initiative ! mar 10 21:12:57 report is from nero mar 10 21:13:44 hmm.. seems like they sold female shirts (which comes as a surprise for me..) mar 10 21:14:05 but seeing the pictures and the rest of the report i agree that this isn't a small event anymore mar 10 21:14:06 yep, we had a she-geek coming by on sunday :) mar 10 21:14:12 as last part of the event and report, we should add a section about what has to be improve for next year mar 10 21:14:12 (at least for U-be it isnt) mar 10 21:15:06 i'll ask nero to think about it, jurgentje, you have certainly ideas about how better next year ? mar 10 21:15:09 ^good idea.. mar 10 21:15:37 lol! mar 10 21:16:16 jurgentje, djim-fey , think about what could be better and mail with nero for coordinationit mar 10 21:16:25 * padv est parti (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) mar 10 21:16:25 please ! mar 10 21:16:26 Actually I thought it was organized quite well.

(just a random date) mar 10 21:56:33 i am reading now that janb asks me to try whit gray background mar 10 21:56:59 so i will do it when i have some spare time mar 10 21:58:11 perhaps start a poll 24/03 (meeting in 2 weeks), duration : is 1 week enough ? mar 10 21:58:45 I think so. But we announce the poll well in advance. Maybe also have the poll on the front page of Ubuntu-be? mar 10 21:58:50 gray background or gray paper? (the latter might be cheaper, if normal printing ink can be used mar 10 21:59:19 only work for light grey though mar 10 21:59:22 if i use a grey backgrund i am supposed to use orange letters mar 10 22:00:01 I think that grey print would be better (then you can have a degradé and white dots) mar 10 22:00:07 yeah, might be difficult to get proper orange on grey mar 10 22:00:27 so i think i will let is like it is mar 10 22:01:01 about the poll: I think ubuntu-be.org would be better than wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam mar 10 22:01:06 you can still print the grey, just that grey paper doesn't work so well to print bright orange on mar 10 22:01:31 indeed, you really narrow down your color range if you don't use white papper mar 10 22:01:42 JanC : i propose 2 versions on 1 idea, 1 for printing via internet site, another inkt-friendly for eventual home-printing (don't know if needed in dutch? mar 10 22:02:19 as we have enough printed flyers mar 10 22:02:21 eeuh.. the greys and orange colors are fixed in the branding guidelines.. mar 10 22:02:31 I think we need Dutch and French versions... we want Ubuntu to be "entry level" and not geeky mar 10 22:02:44 English makes it more technical mar 10 22:02:54 jurgentje: yes, which is why printing the orange on grey paper is difficult mar 10 22:03:07 who will translete it to french? mar 10 22:03:11 it's possible with thick ink, but that's mroe expensive ;) mar 10 22:03:13 I agree Jan, I'm not in favor of using grey paper mar 10 22:03:58 for printing via internet, no difference in number of colors ! mar 10 22:04:08 well, I like using non-plain paper, but it's not practical within the contstraints... ;) mar 10 22:04:19 I think we've got to try grey first.. you never know what it gives.. mar 10 22:04:37 but for printing it yourself it can become a problem.. mar 10 22:04:44 if you want special paper... you can use white ink ;) (or metallic paper) :D mar 10 22:05:00 for printing at home, you'll also need a white edge on your flyers mar 10 22:05:26 for printing elsewhere in small numbers too mar 10 22:05:42 yeah, probably mar 10 22:05:49 i prefer the white and light desing above te some wat darker grey mar 10 22:06:40 but then again... that's what polls are good for ;) mar 10 22:07:10 what am i supposed to do then? mar 10 22:07:23 make it with grey background or not? mar 10 22:07:28 btw, in 2009, we received 5000 flyers (at the end in june (2 years) mar 10 22:07:42 make 2 png-files? (if you have the time) mar 10 22:08:01 they will use a colour laser printer instead of an offset press unless you need a lot of copies (remember it was 66 € for the 2 colours of the shirt and the flyer is 4 colours of ink, and offset plates are more expensive than what they use for screen printing) mar 10 22:09:34 makes sense. I'd add the small extra cost of cutting the borders though... even if it's lasercopy mar 10 22:09:36 our 2009 flyers: 5000 for 69 euros + 21% tax mar 10 22:10:33 jurgentje: yes, they will print on slightly larger paper & cut the borders if you want the colours to bleed off the flyer mar 10 22:11:10 of course one solution for that is to accomodate printer margins in the design, that way everybody can print it... mar 10 22:11:14 I think this really adds to the look of the flyer. It finishes it off. All designs on the page look better mar 10 22:11:44 jurgentje that depends on the design.. mar 10 22:12:13 yep... but come on... bordered design tend to be more static mar 10 22:12:32 nobody needs to print it as we have enough stocks mar 10 22:12:41 it's also more difficult to print at home mar 10 22:12:44 all the existing designs also look good with a small border, but just look great to the border mar 10 22:12:51 of course, we can have more than one design mar 10 22:12:59 yep, but they are okay with a border too... mar 10 22:13:15 and people can always print & cut at a photocopy shop mar 10 22:14:02 if the design is done cleverly so that not too much border needs to be cut... mar 10 22:14:02 idd. (also quite a few people actually have a paper cutter at home or office... ) mar 10 22:14:25 but some have mar 10 22:14:28 jurgentje: for small numbers those are useable too, yes mar 10 22:15:01 and for large numbers you probably don't want to use your own printer for cost reasons mar 10 22:15:03 home printing is small numbers... laser copy center often has cutting capacities mar 10 22:15:09 :) mar 10 22:15:19 with just a small fee to pay mar 10 22:15:29 great minds think alike ;) (maybe crippled brains too, won't elaborate on that) mar 10 22:15:33 cutting is sometimes free even mar 10 22:15:38 i don't understand why you are insisting about home-printing: with 5000 flyers in stock, it is not an issue (at least in dutch) mar 10 22:16:04 jean7491: home printing can still be useful if you need some flyers on short notice mar 10 22:16:35 or when it's cheaper than mailing them or whatever mar 10 22:17:04 but we have flyers in evry event-box, and more mar 10 22:17:12 Yeah, I can imagine smaller events (talking for a class) ... mar 10 22:17:28 if I need some flyers quickly I'll still go to a print shop.. my inkjet printer takes 10 minutes for 1 sheet of photo's.. :p mar 10 22:18:01 but I think these few exceptions aren't weighing enough to pose limits on the design mar 10 22:18:52 and no one wants to pay to work for free mar 10 22:18:54 if we have to print on a laser copier, tyhe restrictions are almost the same anyway mar 10 22:19:21 yep, but copy shop has cutting possibilities mar 10 22:19:35 (I prefer little smaller than A5 but cut, than A5 with borders) mar 10 22:19:37 but if you have a few days, you ask and it is possible to find a solution, i agree with jurgentje, it is not the priority for the flyer design, but we can make a variant mar 10 22:20:06 BTW: we can also change the size etc. mar 10 22:20:20 say, cut 3 flyers from an A4 or whatever mar 10 22:20:31 indeed.. mar 10 22:20:54 making a custom 'scraper' style flyer shouldn't be that much work.. mar 10 22:21:04 yep, or actually make a more extensive fold-flyer mar 10 22:22:07 perhaps have a look at flyer.be to have ideas, and we speak about it next meeting ? mar 10 22:22:09 bottom line: we're going to have a poll with the flyers that exist on that moment... mar 10 22:22:31 right? mar 10 22:22:54 on march 24? mar 10 22:23:50 as i propose the poll starting on 24 or 25/03, we can improve and have 2 or 3 designs mar 10 22:24:12 indeed.. mar 10 22:24:30 we speak about last details next week ? mar 10 22:24:41 17/03? mar 10 22:24:45 ok mar 10 22:24:48 ok mar 10 22:24:59 Item #3 promotion material for fairs/events - rollups 2011 mar 10 22:25:13 new proposals are in the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsRollup2011 please add your comments/preferences in the wiki … mar 10 22:25:28 do we need rollups in english? Dutch? French? your comments ? mar 10 22:25:53 I stick with: local language mar 10 22:26:15 so no English (I made it because the proposal was in the footer) mar 10 22:26:27 I'd go for english roll ups.. mar 10 22:27:00 a roll up is quite an expensive thing.. we should be able to use them everywhere regardless of the language.. mar 10 22:27:02 but that's just me. Reason: we want to promote Ubuntu as "easy". A foreign language (even English) is more difficult mar 10 22:27:10 english: too geeky mar 10 22:27:14 (else we can't even use it at fosdem fi.. mar 10 22:27:16 aren't we going to make one for every event box? mar 10 22:28:45 Rollups don't need a lot of text on them anyway mar 10 22:28:52 imho, 1 to 3, but not for every event-box, mar 10 22:29:07 I have to disagree on the fact that english is to geeky.. mar 10 22:29:15 and I agree with jan and jean.. mar 10 22:29:32 2 ideas: logo or "message" ? mar 10 22:29:35 woutervddn: you can't imagine how many people lack the knowledge mar 10 22:29:37 what's the price of 1? mar 10 22:30:06 likely between 60 and 100 euros? mar 10 22:30:11 stefwal, even our goverment lets us fill in our taxes at a website called taxonweb.. mar 10 22:30:26 prices might differ largely, also depending on quality ("sturdiness") mar 10 22:30:41 imo the rollup should be about the name in the first place and an atractive image.. mar 10 22:30:51 woutervddn: the text on that site is in Dutch though ☺ mar 10 22:31:06 JanC: I wouldn't go for the more expensive one mar 10 22:31:11 woutervddn: +1 on that mar 10 22:31:12 there shouldn't be much text on it.. and the text that is on it should talk about anything technical.. mar 10 22:31:21 +1 for most sturdy and quality one mar 10 22:31:51 sturdy and quality if rollup is for several years mar 10 22:32:01 well, maybe we don't need the most expensive ones, but if they break after 3 times use it's also useless ;) mar 10 22:32:25 depends on who is using it mar 10 22:32:31 without a doubt they have to be fairly solid, but I don't think someone of us is going to abuse it -_-' mar 10 22:32:51 ... I'm quite clumsy ;) mar 10 22:33:08 also, those are made for companies, they might use the expensive ones every day for a period of several years.. mar 10 22:33:09 they always get abused in some way accidentally sooner or later mar 10 22:33:09 jurgentje: I'm happy I haven't been to a fair yet mar 10 22:33:50 janc I suppose so.. mar 10 22:33:51 the roll up would become a roll out mar 10 22:33:53 hehe... we were discussing if we wanted text on the rollups mar 10 22:33:59 lol mar 10 22:34:16 the rollup should be about the logo mar 10 22:34:19 I'd say text: yes but it should only state a minimum of it.. mar 10 22:34:27 I would put "Ubuntu" & "Ubuntu-be.org" on them mar 10 22:34:38 and what's the difference? mar 10 22:34:40 and the logo mar 10 22:34:41 and it should express feelings instead of function.. mar 10 22:34:52 and maybe a picture mar 10 22:34:53 imho logo + pictograms should be better mar 10 22:34:55 totally agree mar 10 22:34:56 I mean... the rollout should make clear what ubuntu-be.org is... mar 10 22:35:00 +1 for jean.. mar 10 22:35:14 if you put it on the rollout mar 10 22:35:28 people remember what the see, not what they read mar 10 22:35:29 I'm in favor of icons and ubuntu branding too mar 10 22:35:34 another thing is to find the right pictograms ! mar 10 22:35:58 the brands pages has tons of icons mar 10 22:36:06 why not using the pictograms that massimo21 used on the flyers mar 10 22:36:13 spreadubuntu also has some icons.. mar 10 22:36:21 good point.. mar 10 22:36:23 I took those ones on design 6 mar 10 22:36:32 the ones of Massimo... to be unifor mar 10 22:36:33 m mar 10 22:36:56 pictograms should reflect a message, not only because it is nice mar 10 22:37:10 for an example of ubuntu banners there are two on the ubuntu brand introduction pdf at page 23 mar 10 22:37:13 indeed. I agree on that. mar 10 22:37:35 the icons on the rollup are explained on the flyers - they complement :) mar 10 22:37:45 (ironically 1 of those is about a UDS at la hulpe in belgium -_-' mar 10 22:37:59 do you have an url to the pdf? mar 10 22:38:47 http://design.canonical.com/brand/1.%20Ubuntu%20brand%20introduction.pdf mar 10 22:39:36 i propose to look for designs with logo + pictograms or icons (no text) + ubuntu-be.org during the week, and see the result next week ? mar 10 22:39:48 ok.. mar 10 22:39:57 so we remove the ones with text from the site? mar 10 22:40:13 I guess we can keep those.. mar 10 22:40:20 just try to add new ones without text.. mar 10 22:40:34 let the community have a say on this as well.. mar 10 22:40:59 ok, we see next week for the rollups mar 10 22:41:18 Item #4 promotion material for fairs/events - other goodies (mugs, bags, pens, ... ) mar 10 22:41:18 a few propositions are in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsGoodies2011 mar 10 22:41:30 please feel free to comment the proposals and to add designs mar 10 22:41:53 you could put the software icons in the orange circles in stead of the text mar 10 22:41:55 i have to go mar 10 22:42:01 good night mar 10 22:42:06 good night massimo21 mar 10 22:42:08 good night massimo o/ mar 10 22:42:10 warddr is not present as initiator, i propose we skip the item mar 10 22:42:17 by massimo mar 10 22:42:33 * massimo21 (~massimo21@91.176.182.59) a quitté #ubuntu-be mar 10 22:42:36 by massimo mar 10 22:42:43 we continue with topic # 3. update wiki and web-site mar 10 22:42:56 wiki: update by wouter? mar 10 22:43:20 jurgen, jean and I took a sprint yesterday. mar 10 22:43:49 I posted a report on the ML mar 10 22:44:01 generally I can say all pages are updated with a few exeptions. mar 10 22:44:05 (and made 207 notes for this meeting) ;) mar 10 22:44:14 * woutervddn (~woutervdd@d54C1A7ED.access.telenet.be) a quitté #ubuntu-be ("Leaving") mar 10 22:44:23 * woutervddn (~woutervdd@d54C1A7ED.access.telenet.be) a rejoint #ubuntu-be mar 10 22:44:28 sorry.. I dropped out.. :s mar 10 22:44:38 indeed.. way to many notes :p mar 10 22:44:57 some pages couldn't be updated because there has to be desicions made first.. mar 10 22:45:27 also we need to find a way to let the website and the wiki work together.. mar 10 22:45:36 some stuff on the wiki should go on the site.. mar 10 22:45:47 like those oslesslaptopshops.. mar 10 22:46:01 it's a great idea but on the wiki nobody will think about looking for it. mar 10 22:46:04 Oh, BTW: next Tuesday is the next LoCo Council meeting and I put the question for buying promo equipment from Canonical on the agenda mar 10 22:46:30 + putting it on the website might be a jump to add those companies to the commercial links section.. mar 10 22:46:43 janc: nice to hear that ^^ mar 10 22:47:00 if anybody else wants to be around for that meeting... mar 10 22:47:34 sorry, i must go now, bye and good night mar 10 22:47:35 JanC, is it open for all? (where? what time?) mar 10 22:47:38 bye clamam mar 10 22:47:40 I've got exams then so I'll have to pass.. mar 10 22:47:40 what's the time of the meeting ? mar 10 22:47:44 bye clamam.. mar 10 22:47:52 * clamam (~claudio@d51A51C86.access.telenet.be) a quitté #ubuntu-be mar 10 22:47:53 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda mar 10 22:47:54 bye clamam mar 10 22:48:00 and it's open for all mar 10 22:48:24 21h UTC in #ubuntu-meeting mar 10 22:48:37 21 UTC ... that's 22u Brussels? mar 10 22:49:29 yes mar 10 22:49:43 there is not much on the agenda, so shouldn't take too long mar 10 22:49:57 possibly I'll be there... can't promise. mar 10 22:50:07 it is on my agenda, hopefully i will be there ! mar 10 22:51:00 i've got to go 2, got night mar 10 22:51:07 have to go, good night mar 10 22:51:14 bye mar 10 22:51:17 wouter, writing in wiki is easy, not in the website , for cpmmon people like me mar 10 22:51:35 bye acraens and stefwal mar 10 22:51:40 indeed.. but that's just because the website isn't open to normal people.. mar 10 22:51:50 * acraens est parti (Quit: Page closed) mar 10 22:51:59 it has a similar editor as the wiki so that isn't the problem. mar 10 22:52:05 \part #ubuntu-be cya mar 10 22:52:15 I think the major problem is to keep our site save for flaws etc... mar 10 22:52:32 * stefwal (~stefaan@94-226-239-19.access.telenet.be) a quitté #ubuntu-be ("cya") mar 10 22:52:33 we also found a double on the wiki pages apperantly we have 2 pages for promotion material.. @ jean7491: which one should we keep? I'll merge them later on.. mar 10 22:52:37 I think some restrictions on who/what is added is appropriate on the site mar 10 22:52:47 janC: I agree.. mar 10 22:52:58 but it should be clear where to find what... mar 10 22:52:59 but as jurgen said it "the wiki should be about knowledge" mar 10 22:53:15 and avoid having information that is on both... quickly becomes maintenance hell mar 10 22:54:08 wiki is also used for organizing events/activities mar 10 22:54:48 it just seemed like there were quite a few pages that belong on the site instead of the wiki.. mar 10 22:54:50 okay... and the website should contain the "information" that has a more static feel mar 10 22:55:07 maybe give some examples... mar 10 22:55:08 yet another remark was that we should stimulate to upload content to flickr using the ubuntube tag.. mar 10 22:55:36 @ wouter : imho promotion is a section, with at least 2 sub-sections, material and promotional activities ... mar 10 22:56:29 material sould be about material, flyers, ... + files presentations and other things mar 10 22:57:09 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Promotion is one mar 10 22:57:17 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial is second mar 10 22:57:23 are very close in content mar 10 22:58:20 should be the same page. Content has to be merged. Don't you agree? mar 10 22:58:23 could be merge in BelgianTeam/Promotion/Material mar 10 22:58:53 or BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial mar 10 22:59:18 I prefer the last one (as it already exists... only creates one stale link) mar 10 22:59:43 I don't really care where it goes, but 2 pages looks like asking for troubles :) mar 10 22:59:43 and a link to spreadubuntu could be added mar 10 22:59:51 good point jean.. mar 10 23:00:03 hehe... and the brand guidelines too? mar 10 23:00:30 yes, certainly mar 10 23:00:42 idd ! origin of the 2 pages is historical and related to developments mar 10 23:00:49 lol yeah.. maybe.. but those have like 17 seperate documents and some aren't exactly clear :p mar 10 23:01:29 okay... I'll do a cleanup of those 2 pages. mar 10 23:02:00 I just hope I won't forget a link - I'll have the "empty page" showing a link to the new page :) mar 10 23:02:09 1 last comment I have is the fact that pointing certain people to take care of 1 specific page (and its child pages) would make the wiki be more up to date.. mar 10 23:02:46 a number of nice pages are "stranded" now because the person who maintained it has resigned.. mar 10 23:02:54 BelgianTeam/PressCoverage for instance.. mar 10 23:03:22 idd, i know, but who is volunteer ? mar 10 23:04:03 well... I'm in favor of: no volunteer = no page. Now, it's like there's no press coverage since 2007... It's like Ubuntu (or Ubuntu-be) is dead :s mar 10 23:04:35 I am willing to take a few pages, but not all of them.. :) mar 10 23:04:41 maintainig of the wiki should be linked to tasks in ubuntu-be ... mar 10 23:04:53 maybe having seperate teams that work fairly indepent might help (see the organization..) mar 10 23:04:53 well, don't remove the page, but certainly add a warning it's unmaintained... mar 10 23:05:12 janc it s in the report as wel :) mar 10 23:05:19 press coverage is imho not necessary in the wiki mar 10 23:05:41 and an outdated page gives a bad impression mar 10 23:05:55 I agree on that one... Google gives a better press coverage :) mar 10 23:06:00 still, no good idea to throw that information away mar 10 23:06:38 don't see why, except for historical reason ? mar 10 23:08:03 I would certainly keep the info on it somewhere for historical reasons mar 10 23:08:47 I agree the page should not be linked to as a source for current information if it's not maintained mar 10 23:09:22 well, if it has to stay, it shouldn't have a link on the front page... mar 10 23:09:46 oops, too late. JanC +1 no link mar 10 23:09:57 maybe linked from an "attic" page, and with a warning on top... mar 10 23:10:16 legacy.. mar 10 23:10:46 I remove the link from the front page right away? mar 10 23:10:50 btw the title "belgian press coverage" in the home page should be "belgian press" for press release (and coverage) mar 10 23:11:13 good point.. mar 10 23:11:19 Is someone going to update the page, and put the link on an appropriate place? mar 10 23:11:38 I can do it tomorrow.. :) mar 10 23:11:53 I'm planning some minor changes that's still in my notes.. mar 10 23:12:16 next ? mar 10 23:12:39 nothing else for the wiki I guess.. so next topic I guess.. mar 10 23:12:59 ummm mar 10 23:13:22 the discussion about pages belonging on u-be.org instead of the wiki? mar 10 23:13:46 that's something we should talk about when pierre (mongolito404) is here.. mar 10 23:13:54 okay. mar 10 23:14:11 makes sense mar 10 23:14:12 I'll make bugs for those pages as well, but atm we can't make real progress with those pages I think.. mar 10 23:14:35 okay. We take it to the next meeting? (or a next meeting) mar 10 23:14:52 uhu mar 10 23:15:10 ok, about website ? bug #718482 - french translation is ready to be used mar 10 23:15:22 for the website mar 10 23:15:44 no other comment from my side mar 10 23:16:15 jean, I'll add it right away :) mar 10 23:16:41 thx, other point for website ? mar 10 23:17:12 apart from those pages that belong there not really.. mar 10 23:17:27 or we start with the next topic ... mar 10 23:17:44 next topic # 4. things mar 10 23:18:00 and item # 1 - Ubuntu-be needs a structure and an organization mar 10 23:18:09 a few ideas ... mar 10 23:18:15 volunteers willing to be active in promoting ubuntu need support of ubuntu-be mar 10 23:18:21 other people have questions about the value of ubuntu-be as possible partner mar 10 23:18:31 imho, we firstly need an organization with a leading group which can coordinate our activities, decide about priorities, take decisions when needed, including about finances, and control the goods/material belonging to ubuntu-be mar 10 23:18:44 as a second step, we need to be recognized as an association and have a legal existence (as nonprofit association?), at least in financial, insurance and public relation matters mar 10 23:18:56 I have the impression that there is a growing consensus to have a VZW/ASBL? mar 10 23:19:23 imho, we whould start a discussion ... with the 1st step, vzw is the 2d mar 10 23:19:28 only if everybody uderstands the extra cost of that ;) mar 10 23:19:38 * selckin est parti (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) mar 10 23:19:58 2 questions : who is everybody ? ... mar 10 23:20:03 good point of janC.. mar 10 23:20:12 extra cost is more extra charge mar 10 23:20:43 I also mean the cost as in extra work that needs to be done mar 10 23:20:51 I do agree with jean, a leading team is first step.. mar 10 23:21:02 jup that also.. mar 10 23:21:21 and +1 about the 2 steps mar 10 23:21:31 Okay... I'm by far not a regular in the Ubuntu-be meetings (holidays is easier for me) mar 10 23:21:52 can I propose that we make a page that talks about the idea and then organise a poll to see how the community thinks about it? or is that a bad idea? mar 10 23:22:02 but you know who are the "regulars" ... would there be enough comitters to actually have a "council" ? mar 10 23:22:28 woutervddn: it's not something to decide with a poll but by those who organize things mar 10 23:22:30 I don't think that's a good idea... we need to know who is willing to commit mar 10 23:23:03 janC, I agree on that, but I'd do that to see how the community thinks about it.. mar 10 23:23:03 if 1000 people say we should start a BVBA and sell custom made computers... but nobody does it ;) mar 10 23:23:16 no need for a council if the whole community drops out after it.. mar 10 23:23:43 community won't drop out, unless a community makes "anti-community" decisions mar 10 23:23:56 a council (not community) makes decission mar 10 23:23:57 final decision has to be made by those who are the heart of u-be, that's without a doubt.. mar 10 23:24:00 who is the whole community ? mar 10 23:24:12 hehe... the mailinglist? mar 10 23:24:21 that's really vague. mar 10 23:24:23 :p that kinda covers it indeed.. mar 10 23:24:26 certainly not only the ML mar 10 23:24:54 are there people who aren't on the ML then? mar 10 23:24:55 ubuntu-users ? launchpad members ? mar 10 23:25:11 aren't those subscribed on the ML as well? mar 10 23:25:23 umm... all the Ubuntu-users we see on dipro? mar 10 23:25:45 they're also the Belgian Ubuntu community mar 10 23:25:54 I don't think we should take those into account for an internal question as this.. mar 10 23:25:59 the support points? mar 10 23:26:13 and there are also people on the forums etc. mar 10 23:26:15 nope, off course not. That's impossible. mar 10 23:26:34 but we must keep in mind that they are "the community" too mar 10 23:27:14 how do you guys feel about indepent groups with their own responsibility? mar 10 23:27:24 the last few years, the discussion about more structure has been on the ML a few times... mar 10 23:27:35 but i think we better get together some time to discuss things first before we decide who we need to ask... ;) mar 10 23:27:42 I don't remember a single time where there was no great consensus in favor. mar 10 23:27:50 like: eventsteam, socialmediateam, educationteam, ... mar 10 23:28:21 local teams are great... once we have a core team who decides what teams we want to have... and who will also recruit mar 10 23:28:38 I also think a IRL meetup would be nice for this mar 10 23:28:59 IRL is only beneficial if we do some research first I guess.. mar 10 23:29:11 agree mar 10 23:29:53 anyone read the book "the art of community" ? mar 10 23:30:16 nowp.. mar 10 23:30:26 imho the community in general is lead by active members, and they have the responsibility to go on with studying and presenting projectes, and one day, we will have to speak about who has the right to vote ... mar 10 23:30:29 the pdf can be downloaded... mar 10 23:30:38 jean7491: does everyone agree with the birth of a real council? mar 10 23:30:54 who is everyone ? mar 10 23:30:54 you'll never have "everyone" mar 10 23:31:06 everyone that matters.. mar 10 23:31:17 do you see opposers? mar 10 23:31:23 I don't.. mar 10 23:31:27 but I might miss something.. mar 10 23:32:03 * selckin (~selckin@unaffiliated/selckin) a rejoint #ubuntu-be mar 10 23:32:08 jean, how are we going to see who has to vote and who doesn't? mar 10 23:32:13 When I looked into the mailinglist the last times, there were some objections - but those were basically the fear of bad decisions mar 10 23:32:18 I think nobody (here) opposes an ubuntu-be council, but we'll have to discuss the tasks it holds & maybe the structure... mar 10 23:32:32 we can launch the idea to create a council in the m-l (in the report)and see if someone reacts ? mar 10 23:32:52 good idea.. mar 10 23:33:07 I think writing a mission statement for the council is a good start.. mar 10 23:33:24 having the way they should operate on paper makes things clearer for everyone.. mar 10 23:33:58 ietherpad.com/ubuntu-be <- trying on a mission statement right now? mar 10 23:34:21 :p not atm.. but if you save it I'll look in to it tomorrow.. :) mar 10 23:34:35 I don't have anything yet :p mar 10 23:34:45 aah.. :p mar 10 23:34:52 save it anyways :p mar 10 23:35:00 :) mar 10 23:35:07 did you read par. 3 in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/TeamOrganization mar 10 23:35:07 ietherpad stays online... mar 10 23:35:40 jean, only a part of it. It is a great guidance though.. very complete at firs sight.. mar 10 23:35:48 *first mar 10 23:35:57 yeah, it's a great starting point mar 10 23:36:23 I also believe those who have a 'big' function should sign some kind of contract (like code of conduct).. mar 10 23:36:45 just to make sure they do what is expected.. mar 10 23:37:32 yeah... and to "limit" the job. People only have to commit for (f.e.) 2 years... and after that, the question can be asked again (even to the same person) mar 10 23:37:35 * ttl- est parti (Quit: Goodbye) mar 10 23:38:23 there are of course details ... but first a mission statement mar 10 23:38:36 xD we can hold elections and have an interim council and stuff.. got to keep the belgian honnor high.. mar 10 23:38:43 lol mar 10 23:39:03 let's split Ubuntu! (Vilvoorde stays with Ubuntu-Vl) ;) mar 10 23:39:07 indeed jean.. mar 10 23:39:08 j/k mar 10 23:39:15 :p mar 10 23:39:37 should we make a timeframe? mar 10 23:39:50 It would be sad if this idea turns to dust again.. mar 10 23:39:53 woutervddn: I don't think explicit signing is needed, it should be *implicit* by accepting a "big function" mar 10 23:39:57 http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/2009/09/18/the-art-of-community-now-available-for-free-download/ <= absolutely a must read! mar 10 23:40:29 janC, I think like that, you think like that, and I'm sure jurgen and jean do the same.. but does everyone else? mar 10 23:41:13 jurgen, I'll read it for sure ^^ mar 10 23:41:15 don't worry now about details mar 10 23:41:16 woutervddn: you can put it in the rules, no need for explicit signing ;) mar 10 23:41:25 true.. mar 10 23:41:36 but I think that's detail.... mar 10 23:41:51 I suppose so.. :) mar 10 23:41:58 first we need to know what the commitment/inspiration is... mar 10 23:42:12 anyway, it's getting late... mar 10 23:42:30 we're going to set a date to pick this up? mar 10 23:42:49 I'd even suggest to have this (weekly) meeting only tackle this point mar 10 23:43:13 the week before, all other stuff could be taken up mar 10 23:43:22 (like dipro etc) mar 10 23:44:07 do we continue first on the mission statement and after on a "calendar"? mar 10 23:44:10 I'm not sure about weekly meeting for this atm.. mar 10 23:44:40 we first need that mission statement.. mar 10 23:44:48 are we doing the mission statement now? Or are we all going to brainstorm on that brainstorm? mar 10 23:44:49 afterwards i totally agree mar 10 23:45:01 I would suggest we try to have the team up by September.... mar 10 23:45:11 Mission statement ready by the end of Easter holiday? mar 10 23:45:17 not now.. :p it's getting late.. I've got a study scheduale to follow :p mar 10 23:45:18 beginning of mar 10 23:45:44 first serious draft of it should be possible then.. mar 10 23:46:14 that's our target? have the mission statement ready by Easter? mar 10 23:46:24 i suggest to work in the week on shortening the mission statement http://ietherpad.com/ubuntu-be and see next meeting ? mar 10 23:46:25 definite version should be agreed on by everyone who's going to be in the council.. mar 10 23:46:39 24/04 mar 10 23:46:40 ok.. mar 10 23:47:00 I'll try... can't promise mar 10 23:47:41 there should be big lines by then but that can't be so hard.. the exact content is the biggest work.. mar 10 23:48:04 indeed. mar 10 23:49:16 just to start with a short mission statement and the rest will follow mar 10 23:49:17 maybe we can set a date around 24/04 for an IRL meetup? (can be at my place... I live in Vilvoorde) mar 10 23:49:57 I really think this kind of stuff works better if you're around a table mar 10 23:50:10 I agree on that.. but then again, who should be there? mar 10 23:50:48 * woutervddn thinks this is going to be a lot harder then we think.. mar 10 23:50:49 well... we make it public on the ML... and everyone who considers comitting... (so not the commenters) mar 10 23:51:22 we start publication with irc report ... mar 10 23:51:22 comitting to the council, or a taskforce (one of the other teams) mar 10 23:51:26 jean & jan, who are the 'seniors' who are still active? mar 10 23:51:38 pierre? mar 10 23:52:11 i'm not senior in u-be ! only since 2009 ! mar 10 23:52:17 mark mar 10 23:52:21 :) mar 10 23:52:42 mark and pierre than? mar 10 23:52:50 or any others? mar 10 23:53:38 1st irc report with the info, z. next meeting, more about short mission statement and idea for meeting, ... mar 10 23:53:51 and see if any reaction mar 10 23:54:22 so we know what to do next week :p mar 10 23:54:27 I think it would be a good idea to actually take up this issue mar 10 23:54:35 in a seperate mail on the ML mar 10 23:54:59 jurgentje, make sure you've got the big lines set by then.. mar 10 23:55:11 else people won't catch it on the ML.. mar 10 23:55:19 separate mail ok, but after next meeting mar 10 23:55:25 agree. mar 10 23:55:26 make sure the structure of the mission statement itself is clear allready.. mar 10 23:55:51 (it's like code, if you don't set a certain way to code the code gets messy) mar 10 23:56:48 Okay... I'll keep that on the ietherpad... (open to all to view/edit) mar 10 23:57:03 it's possible to scroll back in time, is quite handy. mar 10 23:57:18 you see my opinion there mar 10 23:57:43 any comment or we jump next item ? mar 10 23:57:53 next item? mar 10 23:58:01 it's about time to go to next item I guess :p mar 10 23:58:16 *jump* mar 10 23:58:26 item # 2 - possibility of a meeting IRL ? (Meet & Drink?) - why not in vlvoorde ? mar 10 23:58:26 * jurgentje is hopping like a bunny mar 10 23:58:32 lol! mar 10 23:58:49 okay. April 25? (Easter Monday - last day of holiday) mar 10 23:59:30 wait for the day ! are there other questions not in the agenda ? mar 10 23:59:53 I would like to know the scope: mar 10 23:59:55 I can't think of any.. mar 11 00:00:04 is this only for "petit comité" (less than 10 persons) mar 11 00:00:22 or is this an event for the whole ML with subscribing? mar 11 00:00:41 (possibly having to look for an outdoors café to meet then) mar 11 00:02:06 that's a good question jurgen :p mar 11 00:02:25 afaik there was an ubuntu-be bbq in stekene in 2009 or so.. mar 11 00:02:33 that depends of the announcement: with or without beer, or only for active people, or for who is willing to work with ? mar 11 00:02:36 that was one of the last IRL meeting I think :p mar 11 00:03:30 imho there were more volunteers in a'pen on 26-27/02 ! mar 11 00:03:31 bottom line: is this a social gathering or a work-meeting? mar 11 00:03:56 (both are needed, I think) mar 11 00:04:10 otoh ... a council could organize a social meeting ;) mar 11 00:05:08 indeed jurgen.. mar 11 00:05:12 imho, we spoke about work-meeting with an aim, social meeting is for later or another meeting mar 11 00:05:30 indeed.. mar 11 00:05:33 I know, but I remember the mailinglist originally talking about social mar 11 00:05:40 work before fun.. else we never get thing done.. mar 11 00:05:45 and the topic of the meeting is; what's alive on the ML mar 11 00:05:59 topic on the agenda, I mean mar 11 00:06:18 I think it's better to make it a serious meeting first.. mar 11 00:06:26 I agree. mar 11 00:06:31 +1 mar 11 00:06:38 the social aspect is irrelevant to the future structure of U-be imho mar 11 00:07:14 i propose to end with next irc meeting ? on thursday 17/03/2011 at 21 h. mar 11 00:07:54 I should be able to get there, but it might not be the whole meeting (exams on the 18th) mar 11 00:08:37 +1 on a serious IRL meeting being more important now (and of course everybody can organise wmall social meetups whenever they want...) mar 11 00:08:37 and we can mail between us about the organization issue, of course and thanks wouter mar 11 00:09:10 if it's easier for people to have ameetign on Friday because of exams, we can maybe change too? mar 11 00:09:26 I'm the only one I guess.. mar 11 00:09:26 if that fits for the others of course mar 11 00:09:31 I actually prefer fridays (don't have to work on Sat) mar 11 00:10:27 downside of having 3 exam periods I guess :) mar 11 00:10:43 but both are fine for me :) mar 11 00:10:47 it is up to you to say when we meet ! mar 11 00:11:32 well friday is more easy for me, but I don't know about the rest.. mar 11 00:11:44 others might expect it to be on thursday.. mar 11 00:11:56 jan ? mar 11 00:12:18 ow wait.. mar 11 00:12:44 the 18th I've got exam in the afternoon, so I guess thursday is fine then :) mar 11 00:12:52 (at least for me) mar 11 00:13:02 next week Thursday & Friday are both okay for me mar 11 00:13:48 2 meetings then? :p mar 11 00:14:05 if jurgentje wish, we can change for friday ? mar 11 00:14:11 okay.
