  31 <massimo21> idd
  32 <clamam> this week or next week i will contact the volunteers again
  33 <jean7491> and it will probably be more effective to contact all available local people
  34 <clamam> that is what i do every time
  35 <jean7491> ok, 
  36 <clamam> but ther is liitle reaction
  37 <jean7491> from my experience, +/- 10% answers ...
  38 <massimo21> this time less
  39 <jean7491> and 5 % positive answers
  40 <jean7491> and it works !
  41 <jean7491> if no comment, next topic ...
  42 <jean7491> next topic # 2. Promotion
  43 <jean7491>  item #1 Adding  links to the web-site 
  44 <jean7491> till now, limited interest for the possibility ...
  45 <jean7491> feel free to relay the information to interested people/companies/organizations through personal contacts
  46 <jean7491> if no comment, next item ...
  47 <Wamukota> is there a standard note about their benefits if we talk to them?
  48 <Wamukota> we should all have the same message to them
  49 <jean7491> benefit is an additional (gratis) way for ubuntu related promotion
  50 <Wamukota> but why would a company put a link to their website if we have northing to give them back?
  51 <Wamukota> They don't know anything about Ubuntu - just talked to my computershop
  52 <Wamukota> He is all MS so no way he will promote something where he does not earn extra money
  53 <Wamukota> so, what is in the deal for them?
  54 <jean7491> he is not in condition for the proposal, forget it !
  55 <Wamukota> if he is not, what groups must we target then? Schools? Goverment?
  56 <jean7491> bottom line is to help/promote organizations using/promoting the use of ubuntu ...
  57 <Wamukota> wrong starting point I think
  58 <Wamukota> They want something back, and we have notyhing to give them
  59 <jean7491> 1st it is only about organizations using/promoting ubuntu ...
  60 <jean7491> others are not concerned ...
  61 <JanC> Wamukota: this is *only* for companies that alread sell Ubuntu
  62 <JanC> already
  63 <Wamukota> oke, now I understand.
  64 <jean7491> remember details in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Website/Commercial_links
  65 <JanC> sell hardware with Ubuntu, services for Ubuntu, etc.
  66 <Wamukota> Oke. Now just find a list of those companies.... any ideas how you would tackle that problem?
  67 <Wamukota> I don't know of any company/organization that uses Ubuntu you know
  68 <massimo21> people who have connections with a company showld take contact
  69 <massimo21> like someone who knows aluPC
  70 <jean7491> Wamukota , idd, you can remember the possibility for later, if ... 
  71 <jean7491> i sent a mail to alupcs, but no reaction (yet)
  72 <Wamukota> Well, I'll keep my ears and eyes open
  73 <jean7491> later for mccb ?

  83 <Wamukota> nothing from me
  84 <jean7491> next topic# 4. Support points map status  
  85 <jean7491> no new information from mongolito404
  86 <jean7491> there are a lot of support points in the web-site without engagements !
  87 <jean7491> It should be improved !
  88 <Wamukota> Orwe must remove them from the list
  89 <Wamukota> I do receive requests from new Ubuntu users, so the current system works even without a 'map'
  90 <jean7491> idd, me too, ...
  91 <Wamukota> there is no need to have a map, but like you said jean7491 many names are 'dormant'
  92 <clamam> but a map is easy to reach volunteers for fairs
  93 <Wamukota> put them in the fridge, ask them if they will participate
  94 <Wamukota> if not, drop them
  95 <jean7491> some people does not know that their support point profile is not correct, ...
  96 <Wamukota> that's correct clamam
  97 <massimo21> if you live in (example) bree you have trouble to find the nearest support
  98 <massimo21> beacouse of the lack of map
  99 <jean7491> i think mongolito404 will send later a remember mail to support points without engagements, ... about the map, ...
 100 <jean7491> it is part of the project, but it takes a lot of time !
