(21:28:31) JanC: especially a lot of people who never heard about Ubuntu

(21:30:06) jean7491: anything else about accenta ?
(21:31:00) JanC: I think we should do more booths at different places like that...

(21:44:30) JanC: hm, there should be WiFi everywhere in Hasselt, I think?
(21:44:54) jean7491: like soon in brugge ?
(21:45:23) JanC: not sure how it works in Hasselt
(21:46:34) jean7491: bbartek - any experience with wifi in Grenslandhallen ?
(21:47:55) rossemiel: there was an i-city project in Hasselt but i doubt it is still active, i will test the 3g stick tomorow
(21:48:31) rossemiel: but its only for emergency's, i cant use up all the bandwith because its from my work
(21:48:44) jean7491: rossemiel : internet access can be usefull, but usually don't have in dipro, no problem if no internet
(21:49:14) jean7491: if you come with, it is only reserve 
(21:49:19) rossemiel: ok
(21:49:59) jean7491: next events : in october !
(21:50:21) jean7491: next events in october : Dipro Kortrijk 04/10, Charleroi 11/10, Ostend 18/10 and Oostmalle 25/10
(21:50:47) JanC: i-City hotspots are still listed on "worldwide wifi hotspot" sites

(21:52:20) guiydup [n=guiydup@d51530769.static.telenet.be] a rejoint le salon.
(21:52:25) jean7491: for dipro kortrijk, charleroi and ostend, i don't expect difficulty
(21:52:47) jean7491: hello guiydup
(21:52:50) JanC: who will do dipro Charleroi?
(21:52:56) JanC: Cedric?
(21:53:05) jean7491: cedric and co ...
(21:53:10) JanC: great
(21:53:37) jean7491: with the help of local lug's
(21:54:48) jean7491: the difficulty could be Dipro Oostmalle to constitute a team : but i am optimistic.
(21:55:21) JanC: if not, no problem...
(21:55:35) JanC: it's probably a small fair?
(21:56:00) JanC: but we've never been there, so might be useful because of that
(21:56:48) jean7491: likely small fair, i've to see with the people i know in a'pen and lier
(21:57:23) jean7491: i 'll contact people after dipro hasselt
(21:57:30) guiydup a quitté le salon (quit: "Java user signed off")
(22:00:22) jean7491: next events in november : dipro ghent (08/11), release party ghent (21/11), dipro a'pen (29/11)
(22:01:18) jean7491: likely no problem for dipro, but i've concern with the release party !
(22:03:27) JanC: hm, mike?
(22:04:44) jean7491: no contact since a time and he certainly needs help
(22:04:54) JanC: maybe we need to ask on the list if anybody wants to organise something?
(22:05:02) JanC: or help
(22:06:32) jean7491: yes, we can, but he already asked in may and june with no result. help should come from the ghent area
(22:07:49) jean7491: certainly a topic for october (first weeks)
(22:07:52) JanC: depends for what, e.g. helping to find people who can give a talk is possible from everywhere
(22:08:44) JanC: other options are to just get together and have some drinks/food...
(22:09:40) jean7491: the 1st problem is the basic organization, people for talks is for later; meet and greet is indeed a last solution, but this is no more a release party
(22:11:07) jean7491: is it done for the events ? let's go to next topic ?
(22:11:27) JanC: well, meet & greet is > 50% of all release parties
(22:13:32) jean7491: let's speak about this topic on another irc contact !
(22:13:50) JanC: k
(22:14:07) jean7491: topic 2. Promotion material
(22:15:12) jean7491: new posters and flyers are ok ! posters are for sale, if someone is interested
(22:16:43) rossemiel: do you sell stickers also? i want one for my car
(22:17:05) JanC: rossemiel: you get one for free from jean7491 ;)
(22:17:22) jean7491: of course!
(22:17:24) rossemiel: nice
(22:17:30) JanC: I think there were some left in the CD box
(22:18:06) jean7491: i've a stock of it
(22:18:34) jean7491: about promo material, as answer to the 1st faq (use of live-cd), a short presentation of 5 screenshots has been usefull as support for basic explanation
(22:18:41) JanC: jean7491: you have any "powered by Ubuntu" stickers left?
(22:18:57) jean7491: JanC: yes
(22:19:13) JanC: give one to rossemiel too then ?
(22:19:24) jean7491: :-D
(22:19:27) JanC: for his laptop
(22:19:50) JanC: to stick in place of the Windows sticker, if there is any ;)
(22:20:39) rossemiel: no windows sticker on this one, came with linux preloaded
(22:22:07) rossemiel: its running karmic alpha though, i hope it doesnt crash at the event.....
(22:22:21) jean7491: ok, ... about promo material, we need a presentation in screenshots "how to install ubuntu in dual boot (on a generic pc)" as support of our explanation
(22:22:27) JanC: cool, anyway, maybe still needs a sticker like this: http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9 ;)
(22:23:19) rossemiel: nice, my wife will love that (its her netbook)
(22:24:17) jean7491: if someone can think about such a presentation and just do it, it could help us !
(22:25:33) rossemiel: what if we play this video: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/2009/09/02/Ubuntu_Dual_Boot_Install
(22:26:16) rossemiel: its in english though
(22:26:35) JanC: jean7491: problem is, there are several ways to do that...
(22:26:48) JanC: depending on hardware available etc.
(22:27:11) jean7491: you will se that in a fair, people does not have time (and patience) to look at an exhaustive video
(22:28:09) jean7491: a presentation "on click" is easier, you progress according to the person you are talking with
(22:29:16) rossemiel: are you talking about a wubi installation or real dualboot?
(22:30:18) jean7491: i speak about installation in dualboot, ... and it is true there are several ways to do it ,... it is why i suggest a "generic" pc mostly with vista
(22:35:59) JanC: meaning resizing the NTFS partition ?
(22:36:12) JanC: then rule #1 is: make backups ?
(22:37:28) jean7491: i've difficulty to say "see ubuntu-nl/support/documentation/InstallatieDesktopJaunty" as this is not dualboot: you have to see installatie ubuntu 8.04 with xp for a dual boot
(22:43:31) jean7491: this was my last item for this meeting: any other topic, ... if not i propose next IRC meeting on 30/09/2009 at 21 h 
(22:44:59) JanC: k
(22:45:21) rossemiel: i will try to make screen captures from dual boot install inside virtualbox ok?
(22:45:22) JanC: I made a remark about the missing howto @ ubuntu-nl ?
(22:45:46) JanC: rossemiel: that would help of course
(22:45:55) rossemiel: jean i will let you know if it worked
(22:46:24) jean7491: ok rossemiel ! thanks
(22:53:34) jean7491: we stop now our meeting, thanks for your attention! 
(22:54:38) bbartek: :)
(22:54:49) rossemiel: ok bye
(22:54:54) bbartek: ok bye
(22:57:57) bbartek a quitté le salon (quit: "Ik ga weg")
(23:01:04) rossemiel a quitté le salon (quit: "Ex-Chat")
