(21:38:01) Gh0sty: if i could transplant the backlight from another ... :p
(21:38:16) JanC: that shouldn't be too difficult I ggues
(21:38:26) JanC: eh, "guess"

(21:39:02) JanC: with screw, often including one under a waranty seal ;)

(22:14:41) jean7491: poster free your pc with xp screen seems accepted by all - with the available definition, it is good in format a2
(22:16:12) jean7491: flyer (nr 3) with yellow-marron background also improved was accepted -format a-
(22:16:37) jean7491: format a6
(22:16:57) jean7491: next question: how many ex. new flyers and posters do we need? 
(22:17:47) jean7491: we have experience for flyers in dutch, +/- 200 ex / fair
(22:18:07) Wamukota: a 1000 or something like that then?
(22:18:39) mib_yxp4z0 a quitté le salon (quit: "http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client")
(22:18:42) jean7491: approximately 6 months fairs
(22:20:29) jean7491: looking the prices, i found a very little difference between 1250 and 2500 ex by flyer.be 54.45 - 66.55 euro, no cost for the port
(22:22:27) jean7491: and 5000 69euro+21%vat
(22:23:04) Wamukota: who decides the amount of money we can spend?
(22:23:18) jean7491: good question !
(22:25:46) Wamukota: gents, i'm off now
(22:25:48) Wamukota: cu
(22:25:56) Wamukota a quitté le salon (quit: "Tot laters")
(22:25:56) jean7491: bye
(22:27:50) hfsdo a quitté le salon (quit: "Leaving")
(22:30:14) jean7491: JanC : who decides the amount of money we can spend for flyers (and posters)? 
(22:30:25) JanC: we do
(22:30:42) jean7491: JanC : 1250 flyers (for events 6 months) = 54.45 euro or for more than 1 year 5000 ex. = 83.49 euro
(22:30:48) JanC: well, we should ask on the list ;)
(22:31:06) JanC: what other people think if that's okay
(22:31:31) JanC: if most people agree (or say nothing), we can use the money
(22:31:58) jean7491: and what if 1 (non member) say no ?
(22:33:30) jean7491: in the m-l we are speaking to ubuntu-team members and non members (just registrated for the m-l: it seems strange imho ! 
(22:34:26) JanC: that won't stop it
(22:35:04) JanC: unless they know a place that's much cheaper for the same service maybe
(22:35:30) JanC: but I guess we won't have a problem with going to the other place then
(22:35:34) JanC: ;)
(22:35:52) jean7491: ok i write it in the report and in another message for the flyers
(22:37:48) jean7491: same question for the poster "free your pc", i found 250ex. a2 for 140 euro + 10 euro port (maxevent.be)
(22:38:37) JanC: also ask how many flyers people can use (possibly also to put in flyer stands in libraries, schools, etc.)
(22:39:48) jean7491: for french edition of the flyer, no idea of the use !
(22:41:19) jean7491: for the french one, for small amount, it is possible to print another version on a yellow colored paper = home made
(22:42:01) jean7491: i can ask to the m-l !
(22:43:17) jean7491: i propose to add in the wiki an inventory of the available promotion material (banner, new+old posters, new+old flyers, cd's)
(22:44:12) jean7491: so that everybody (interested) knows what is available and where
(22:45:40) jean7491: JanC : your opinion ?
(22:47:32) JanC: jean7491: good idea, also include who has the promo stuff at home
(22:49:48) jean7491: and i suggest to complete the inventory of the "event-box" with non-hardware material (for example locks for laptops or tablecloths (tafellakens))
(22:50:50) jean7491: and to review what (hardware) really exist and where?
(22:51:54) jean7491: JanC : i assume we are only 2 in the meeting
(22:53:10) jean7491: JanC : i suggest we close for today, next meeting next week, same day, same hour
(22:55:39) jean7491: JanC : are you there to close the meeting ?
(22:55:42) pvandewyngaerde a quitté le salon (quit: Remote closed the connection)
(22:56:19) JanC: closing is okay for me (I don't have much time to discuss more really)
(22:56:37) jean7491: ok, bye
