  11 <nefast> Hi there, jean7491
  12 <JanC> yep, I'm here
  13 <nefast> Hah, I am so used that people put their year of birth behind their moniker in games, that I thought -for a second- you were born in 7491.
  14 <nefast> But then I realized that I am a moron!
  15 <JanC> nefast: do we know you under another name from the mailing list or something?
  16 <nefast> Nope, sorry.
  17 <nefast> Should I stay away?
  18 <nefast> I'm just another Belgian waiting for 10.04
  19 * guydup est parti (Quit: Java user signed off)
  20 <jean7491> anybody else for the meeting ?
  21 <JanC> nefast: no, you're welcome to follow the meeting and even to give your opinion etc.
  22 <nefast> Ah, ircmeeting.
  23 <nefast> Ye gods, I was confused.
  24 <JanC> nefast: actually, you're always welcome here  ☺
  25 * jean7491bis (~jean74911@109.236.140.95) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
  26 <nefast> Sorry, I thought people were talking about a releaseparty.
  27 <JanC> release parties are in May  ;)
  28 <nefast> Which makes my confusion even more embarrassing.
  29 <jean7491> siegie ?
  30 <jean7491> let's start with the topic 1 – past and future events 
  31 <jean7491>  first t item : dipro ghent 18/04 - report 
  32 <jean7491> i just read the report in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Gent_2010-04-18, has anyone comment ?
  33 <jean7491> JanC : do you have comment on dipro ghent ?
  34 <JanC> sorry, was reading the report
  35 <jean7491> ok
  36 <pvandewyngaerde> did you actually sell any tshirts ?
  37 <JanC> 2 t-shirts, to team memebers  ;)
  38 * massimo21 (~massimo21@212.87.107.149) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
  39 <JanC> but I could have sold more if I had had other sizes available
  40 <JanC> maybe we should buy some more t-shirts...
  41 <JanC> (and maybe other stuff)
  42 <pvandewyngaerde> what did the organisers of dipro say abou the thirts selling ?
  43 <JanC> nothing
  44 <pvandewyngaerde> did you ask ?
  45 <JanC> AFAIK it's okay as long as we don't sell things in competition with other stands
  46 <JanC> didn't ask, but looksaus did in the past
  47 <JanC> pvandewyngaerde: I still have a lot of kubuntu t-shirts BTW  ;)
  48 <jean7491> other comment ?
  49 <JanC> no
  50 <jean7491> ok, next item : dipro antwerp 09/05 
  51 <jean7491> bram will coordinate the booth,
  52 <pvandewyngaerde> JanC: about those t-shirts, have you asked on the mailing list ?
  53 <jean7491> a few names are already in te wiki,
  54 <JanC> pvandewyngaerde: I will, I need to update my list of available t-shirts first
  55 <jean7491> the team is not complete, we still need additional volunteers  (at least 3)
  56 <jean7491> the improved booth will be 6m. x 4m., with more place for 10.04 individual experience
  57 <jean7491> anybody here from antwerp area ?
  58 <JanC> or other volunteers who want to help people install ubuntu in the afternoon?
  59 <jean7491> no answer for the moment, next item : release parties Lucid Lynx 10.04lts 
  60 <jean7491> press release will be discussed in the next topic “promotion”
  61 <JanC> nefast: where are you from (if you want to answer that) ?
  62 <nefast> I'm from Leuven.
  63 <JanC> nefast: are you interested in helping at install parties, fair booths and such?
  64 <massimo21> I know there will be an Ubuntu release party in Genk
  65 <massimo21> It's organised by the bitmappers
  66 <JanC> massimo21: of, course, a big one  ;)
  67 <jean7491> events we know about have been added to the calendar http://ubuntu-be.org/en/calendar, look at may 2010
  68 <massimo21> 16 mei
  69 <nefast> I'm an university student, so my exams are coming closer.
  70 <JanC> nefast: but after that?
  71 <nefast> I don't think I will be able to, in the near future.
  72 <jean7491> are there comments about the events related to lucid lynx ?
  73 <jean7491> about ghent on 13/05 ?
  74 <JanC> Mike is doing that
  75 <jean7491> yes, do you have new input from him ?
  76 <JanC> not exactly
  77 <massimo21> I have to go now, Hear you guys next time
  78 <JanC> I think maybe there will be 1 or 2 demonstrations, drinks and help with installation for those who want/need it
  79 * massimo21 (~massimo21@212.87.107.149) a quitté #ubuntu-be
  80 <jean7491> i'll ask mike to post an update in the mailing list
  81 <jean7491> other comment, if not next item other events (may and june)
  82 <JanC> I will go to the release party in Genk
  83 <pvandewyngaerde> http://0x20.be/Ubuntu_10.04_Release_Party
  84 <jean7491> ok, thanks pieter
  85 <jean7491> comment about uds or lgm ?
  86 <JanC> nothing for the meeting
  87 <jean7491> looking further, we started with the planning of activities in september
  88 <jean7491> nothing else for past and future events, next is topic 2 - Promotion 
  89 <jean7491> item #1- press release lucid lynx
  90 <jean7491> press release lucid lynxwith reference to the associated events in the calendar
  91 <JanC> I'm working on the PR now, with the input from De Bitmappers and you
  92 <JanC> will send it to the list this evening, so that everybody can get a look at it (and tell me if something is wrong)
  93 <JanC> Mark VDB will provide me with a list of press contacts this evening too
  94 * tunix (~AndChat@188.188.104.88) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
  95 <jean7491> imho the press release should be short, easy to be used or adapted by journalists ...
  96 * velle (~steven@77.145-245-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
  97 <jean7491> if too long, it is too difficult to summarize ...
  98 <jean7491> better a short text with in annex additional explanation 
  99 <JanC> I have been thinking about making a short version too, but it's difficult to say everything (release + release parties + ubuntu-meeting) in short  ☺
 100 <jean7491> a long text will never be published ! better to summarize yourself and not by other people
 101 <JanC> it all depends, the free newspaper you can find in the train stations often writes longer than is in the press release ;)
 102 <JanC> but for those who want something short, I was thinking about making a short version indeed
 103 * tunix est parti (Quit: Bye)
 104 <jean7491> ok
 105 <jean7491> the problem of the press release is an illustration that we need a public-relation team (proposed in the previous meetings) 
 106 <jean7491> but unfortunately there is still no volunteer to work on 
 107 <jean7491> other comment about promotion ?
 108 <jean7491> if not,  topic 3 support points map status 
 109 <jean7491> nothing new from mongolito404
 110 <jean7491>  next, topic 4 – things living in the mailing list 
 111 <jean7491> item #1 :   new ways/events to promote ubuntu: 
 112 <jean7491> remember : all suggestions are welcome,  everybody can look for contact and propose activities
 113 <jean7491>  example : we received a proposition from the computerclub monitor (niel) for a booth in  "de nielse computerdag" on 26/09. Such a local cooperation with a computerclub is certainly worthy 
 114 <JanC> especially as their "rommelmarkt" will also attract new people
 115 <jean7491> let's hope there will be volunteers from this area for the booth ! perhaps nero_ is interested, or anyone else from this area ? ?
 116 <JanC> nero_: still awake?  ☺
 117 <jean7491> we'll start with the planning of the "nielse computerdag" in june or august, we have enough time
 118 <JanC> ok
 119 <jean7491> this is the end of my agenda, other topic not in the agenda ?
 120 <JanC> not from me
 121 <jean7491> anyone else ?
 122 <jean7491> last topic - next meeting proposed next wednesday 5/5 at 21 h.
 123 <JanC> k
 124 <jean7491> thanks to all for your participation, have a good night
