  86 (21:36:57) jurgentje: (we don't have big ones at home)
  87 (21:37:01) nero_: How big?
  88 (21:37:17) jurgentje: for some long tables (4 meter?)
  89 (21:37:19) jean7491: at least 4 m.
  90 (21:37:22) JanC: are there enough people for the fair in Mechelen?
  91 (21:37:42) JanC: (I mean: can I order the booth)
  92 (21:38:09) jean7491: at least 4, perhaps 5 or 6 ?
  93 (21:38:11) nero_: According the wiki we are at least with 4
  94 (21:38:12) jurgentje: well, I have a few people who confirmed their presence on the mail, I'll be mailing again nowadays... school is pretty busy, exams are starting etc
  95 (21:38:39) jurgentje: Nero and I, and I already have 2 others, of which one couldn't stay full day.
  96 (21:39:02) jurgentje: I'll be getting in touch with the others again over the next days to ask for a reply
  97 (21:39:28) nero_: If needed I can bring an external usb burner
  98 (21:39:41) jean7491: then ok to order the booth!
  99 (21:40:11) jurgentje: when and how does that happen?
 100 (21:40:18) jurgentje: I mean, I have no experience with this
 101 (21:40:32) jurgentje: I'll have a laptop... and a desktop if needed too
 102 (21:41:55) jean7491: JanC will order the booth, you just have to coordinate for enough people, hardware and material ...

 106 (21:42:25) nero_: If we have internet access I have a spare 16p switch and a spare WiFi switch too
 107 (21:42:27) rossemiel: yes
 108 (21:42:44) jurgentje: I have another Q for Mechelen: what happens with the promo material?
 109 (21:42:46) jean7491: rossemiel bye
 110 (21:43:03) jurgentje: okido... good luck and enjoy next week, rossemiel ... bye
 111 (21:43:17) rossemiel a quitté le salon (quit: "Ex-Chat")
 112 (21:43:17) OLD-Hans: I bring Free mobile stick
 113 (21:43:25) jean7491: Q ? 
 114 (21:43:31) jurgentje: question
 115 (21:44:21) nero_: Do I need to pick up something in Ostend next WE?
 116 (21:44:58) jean7491: material: just use it and what you do not use can be back to bram in a'pen
 117 (21:45:30) jurgentje: well... we'd still be needing stuff to attach our posters and stuff around there... in Antwerp, we had big clamps (but they were from Bram).
 118 (21:46:23) jurgentje: Bram suggested to buy a few of those clamps and some sturdy plastic boxes, to to create a real "promo box" - this would make transport easier too, I think
 119 (21:47:10) LarsB: where do you hang the posters on?
 120 (21:47:17) LarsB: The table or the wall behind you or?
 121 (21:47:51) JanC: whatever you can use (there is not always a wall...)
 122 (21:47:56) jurgentje: is there a wall? in Antwerp we had like metal grids
 123 (21:48:14) LarsB: In Genk depends if you are in the outer ring of tables
 124 (21:48:17) LarsB: else you have air!
 125 (21:48:18) LarsB: xD
 126 (21:48:26) jean7491: i have a few white boards ? do you have enough posters, banners, flyers (2-300) ? i have a lot of metal clamps (several sizes)
 127 (21:50:18) jurgentje: we've got some hard boarded posters to present, and plenty of posters
 128 (21:51:21) jurgentje: Bram also arranged for a few "Ubuntu-be crew" neck hangers ... it adds to the flair of being a real team ;)
 129 (21:52:10) jean7491: if possible, i can deliver more posters, banners, flyers, white boards to constitute a mechelen event-box (promo material), (hardware is another problem) or all this material can be brought back to bram as a central supply point 
 130 (21:52:49) jurgentje: I'm going to Vilvoorde (the other direction) ... Nero, are you going to Antwerp?
 131 (21:53:34) OLD-Hans: Can we use dobbelsided tape?
 132 (21:53:42) nero_: Not in the near future
 133 (21:53:50) jean7491: bram does not need the stuff for now!
 134 (21:54:14) LarsB: Sure hans, if there is anything to put it on
 135 (21:54:32) jurgentje: I guess we'll have to improvise once we're there :p
 136 (21:54:44) OLD-Hans: I will buy a rol
 137 (21:54:47) jurgentje: so what's the hardware we'll have? Nero? Hans?
 138 (21:55:03) LarsB: Hans is going to mechelen too?
 139 (21:55:38) jean7491: no
 140 (21:56:18) OLD-Hans: Not forseen But if really necessary
 141 (21:56:37) jean7491: mechelen + frank, marc, andy?, wouter?
 142 (21:56:57) nero_: Plenty hardware :) 13" Notebook, netbook, burner, switch, router, ...
 143 (21:58:01) jurgentje: ah, okay. I thought - as you were taking care of those items - that you were coming too...
 144 (21:58:45) t00r a quitté le salon (quit: Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
 145 (21:59:09) jurgentje: Okay, so I'll be arranging a laptop but no desktop (my wife would apparently kill me if I took both computers)
 146 (21:59:20) t00r [n=t00r@unaffiliated/t00r] a rejoint le salon.
 147 (21:59:22) LarsB: Hans is coming to Genk
 148 (22:00:20) jean7491: please, go ahead with genk- and mechelen-coordinations after the meeting, 
 149 (22:00:26) jurgentje: ah, okay.
 150 (22:00:29) jurgentje: okido
 151 (22:00:30) jurgentje: sorry
 152 (22:01:15) jurgentje: dipro mechelen -> #dipro-mechelen :)
 153 (22:01:47) jean7491: you can use this channel later! nero_ just confirm me if you are coming to ostend on 5/12 for additional promo material?
 154 (22:02:27) nero_: Yep, let me know the meeting coordinates
 155 (22:03:21) jean7491: nero_ : mail me no later then friday if you are coming on 5/12
 156 (22:03:37) nero_: OK
 157 (22:04:09) jean7491: next item 14/12 meeting Digipolis on Openbaar Computer Ruimtes in ghent
 158 (22:05:57) jean7491: kenneth is in charge, but if you have information, experience or suggestion about the open computer ruimtes (in ghent or elsewhere), please mail me or to kenneth
 159 (22:07:15) XiaoShiZi: what is the open computer ruimtes? are those the computers in the streets of gent?
 160 (22:08:12) OLD-Hans: I had the same toughts
 161 (22:09:07) jean7491: see http://www.gent.be/eCache/THE/1/36/631.cmVjPTEzNjYzNw.html
 162 (22:09:34) XiaoShiZi: checked by google and got this site http://ubuntu-be.org/en/content/forum#nabble-td3940859
 163 (22:09:53) JanC: that's the mailing list ;)
 164 (22:11:08) jean7491: i just saw program 2010 dipro fairs : hasselt on 24/01, ghent on 31/01 and kortrijk on 7/02
 165 (22:11:26) XiaoShiZi: indeed the public computers are included on the list... there's one on the corner of my straat (I'm living in Gent)
 166 (22:12:41) |mantas| [n=ubuntu@ip-81-11-224-192.dsl.scarlet.be] a rejoint le salon.
 167 (22:13:07) jean7491: XiaoShiZi : if you have experience with this ocr, or just have a look at and mail me
 168 (22:13:16) OLD-Hans: WE did have them some Years ago in Hasselt
 169 (22:13:28) XiaoShiZi: are these computers runing on ubuntu?
 170 (22:13:38) LarsB: I can come 24/01 to hasselt :)
 171 (22:15:12) OLD-Hans: I will know Sunday
 172 (22:15:22) jean7491: i don't know, but we have the opportunity to present ubuntu (and foss) to people in charge (or future in charge) during a meeting on 14/12, organized by digipolis 
 173 (22:16:09) XiaoShiZi: what skill is needed to be present on that meeting?
 174 (22:17:01) OLD-Hans: Do You need help on 14/12?
 175 (22:21:05) OLD-Hans a quitté le salon ("Ik ga weg")
 176 (22:23:40) mongolito404: ping ?
 177 (22:23:46) LarsB: I have to go. I'll read the further tomorrow
 178 (22:23:51) LarsB: on my netbook
 179 (22:24:02) jean7491: XiaoShiZi : if you can help kenneth, you are welcome ! OLD-Hans : thanks, hoping ghent people will do it!
 180 (22:24:13) jean7491: bye LarsB
 181 (22:24:27) LarsB a quitté le salon (quit: )
 182 (22:24:46) XiaoShiZi: is kenneth from gent?
 183 (22:24:59) XiaoShiZi: willing to help but need more details
 184 (22:25:35) OLD-Hans [n=Hans@91.179.121.185] a rejoint le salon.
 185 (22:26:22) jean7491: ok XiaoShiZi, i mail you about it, kenneth is from ghent
 186 (22:26:45) XiaoShiZi: @ jean7491 ok
 187 (22:26:49) jean7491: next topic 2. promotion material - is there anything to mention, any new idea ?
 188 (22:28:40) jean7491: if nothing for now, next topic ...
 189 (22:28:55) jean7491: topic 3. Support points map status
 190 (22:29:12) mongolito404: I finally took some time to restart the project
 191 (22:29:31) mongolito404: I cleaned up the project at https://launchpad.net/support.points.map
 192 (22:29:51) mongolito404: More important, I started with some base code
 193 (22:30:25) jurgentje: Great :) ... way to go!
 194 (22:30:34) mongolito404: The code is visible at https://code.launchpad.net/~mongolito404/support.points.map/trunk
 195 (22:30:52) mongolito404: As planned, it's a drupal module
 196 (22:31:39) mongolito404: The goal is to get almost all feature of the current map.ubuntu-be.org except for the map itself
 197 (22:32:35) mongolito404: User registration is handled by Drupal. As well as user contact form (optional but available in Drupal core).
 198 (22:32:51) jurgentje: :)
 199 (22:33:12) jean7491: thanks, i'll take time to look at it and to give you some feedback (through bug reports?)
 200 (22:33:12) jurgentje: so all users of the support map need a launchpad account?
 201 (22:33:47) mongolito404: It is not ready for user review, it is for developpers
 202 (22:35:19) mongolito404: A Launchpad account is not required in the code, but for the Ubuntu-be deployment it will be required.
 203 (22:35:37) mongolito404: A think it's ok since LP is the way to go for anybody wanting to contribute to Ubuntu
 204 (22:36:54) JanC: mongolito404: can you pull the location data from LP ?
 205 (22:36:56) mongolito404: Drupal itslef is not tied to LP. The module uses Drupal, so it not tied to LP. But for the ubuntu-be website, we configured Drupal to uses LP to provide user authentication.
 206 (22:37:16) mongolito404: JanC: I don't think so. And certainly not in the first version.
 207 (22:38:40) mongolito404: A user wanting o be a supporter has to fill a form with it's address. Geocoding is used to retrieve its location.
 208 (22:41:27) bbartek a quitté le salon (quit: "Ik ga weg")
 209 (22:41:29) mongolito404: I will try to make the module usable on any Drupal install by next week. So anybody with a minal Drupal knowledge could test it and contribute
 210 (22:42:30) jurgentje: I think requiring a LP account is an extra threshold that's not nessecary (just my opinion), and it might scare off potential supporters
 211 (22:43:38) mongolito404: This is a deployment time configuration. This is not an issue with the Drupal module I'm working on.
 212 (22:45:31) mongolito404: The current map got many "oh no, not another site to register to" from both newcomers and LP users
 213 (22:45:34) jurgentje: idd ... sorry for the off topic
 214 (22:46:26) jean7491: thanks, unfortunatly i don't have the minimal Drupal knowledge to help you with this. anything else on this topic ?
 215 (22:47:23) mongolito404: Yes, as usual make it know that we need help on this.
 216 (22:48:54) jurgentje: Maybe a small item on the front page? (somewhere in a sideblock?)
 217 (22:49:25) selckin a quitté le salon (quit: Client Quit)
 218 (22:49:38) jurgentje: with a call for help? (and an explicit call on the mailinglist for people familiar with Drupal)
 219 (22:49:43) mongolito404: jurgentje: I value your proposition. But my head is already full of idea. I don't need idea, I need code.
 220 (22:49:44) jean7491: mongolito404: ok, eventually you can send me what should be included in the report, perhaps with details about what kind of help you need?
 221 (22:49:49) selckin [n=selckin@unaffiliated/selckin] a rejoint le salon.
 222 (22:50:33) jurgentje: No... I mean a small item asking for people who know Drupal to help code :)
 223 (22:51:48) mongolito404: I plan to remove the Karmic countdown, maybe I will add a call for help there.
 224 (22:52:08) mongolito404: That's a nice idea.
 225 (22:52:12) ***jurgentje is off... too late for me. Wishing mongolito404 loads of code on the new project :)
 226 (22:52:14) mongolito404: But the website don't get many visits.
 227 (22:52:39) jurgentje: hmm... old support map... is it easy to add that kind of code there?
 228 (22:53:03) mongolito404: Not easy but no to hard neither
 229 (22:53:14) jurgentje: small request for coders? (or mailinglist) .... Off to bed... take two. Bye all.
 230 (22:53:46) jurgentje a quitté le salon (quit: "Don't let the bed bugs byte ;)")
 231 (22:53:46) mongolito404: jean7491: Any PHP coders could help at this state. Experience with Drupal is a plus. Drupal is a bit hard at first. But it's worth it (my opinion)
 232 (22:54:14) jdb a quitté le salon (quit: verne.freenode.net irc.freenode.net)
 233 (22:54:22) jdb [n=joeri@64.56.74.65] a rejoint le salon.
