4 jan 20 21:05:21 <clamam> Hello
5 jan 20 21:06:08 <jean7491> hi massimo21 woutervddn Clamam !
6 jan 20 21:07:19 <jean7491> 25 people in the channel : anyone else for the meeting ?
7 jan 20 21:07:57 <woutervddn> I think JanC is here for the meeting as well..
8 jan 20 21:08:06 <JanC> right
9 jan 20 21:08:22 <jean7491> hi JanC
10 jan 20 21:08:25 <JanC> although, preferably a not-too-long meeting ;)
11 jan 20 21:09:01 <jean7491> i'm not the one who writes for a long meeting !
12 jan 20 21:09:23 <woutervddn> lol
13 jan 20 21:09:56 <woutervddn> we'd better start quick then :p
14 jan 20 21:10:13 <jean7491> i understand 5 active people in the channel, and 20 "listening" !
15 jan 20 21:10:52 <jean7491> last call for participants to the meeting before we start !
16 jan 20 21:11:09 <woutervddn> isn't there a way to send a message to all of them..
17 jan 20 21:11:37 <jean7491> a pm ?
18 jan 20 21:12:04 <JanC> most people are probably just idleing
19 jan 20 21:12:19 <woutervddn> no there's this command that gives the same result as when a name is specified.. there is even an option to autokick those not responding within a certain time..
20 jan 20 21:12:40 <jean7491> no idea about what to do, let's start ...
21 jan 20 21:12:42 <JanC> woutervddn: that sounds like some bot/script
22 jan 20 21:12:59 <jean7491> as announced, we start today first with wiki and website ...
23 jan 20 21:13:05 <jean7491> unforttunatly, mongolito404 will not be present ...
24 jan 20 21:13:17 <jean7491> topic # 3. Update Wiki : are there suggestions or comments ?

28 jan 20 21:14:42 <jean7491> mongolito404 informed us : “a) I fixed the Planet, this is worth mentioning b) tomorrow, I plan to deploy a test site for Activity Stream (as a way to include "social" stuffs on Ubuntu-be.org as suggested by woutervddn). c) Nothing ne for the map (;() “
29 jan 20 21:15:12 <jean7491> i've no input on this matter, comments ?

34 jan 20 21:16:10 <woutervddn> and to jan xD
35 jan 20 21:16:35 <woutervddn> anyways.. the social script and the blogroll should make the website more dynamical..

70 jan 20 21:26:40 <jean7491> not wake
71 jan 20 21:27:11 <jean7491> have you other info about fosdem ?
72 jan 20 21:27:17 <JanC> I was just wondering why ☺
73 jan 20 21:28:06 <JanC> about FOSDEM: I've been thinking about using some of the equipment of the Ghent fair box
74 jan 20 21:28:51 <woutervddn> Ow about every new fair in the future: if you have a telenet member in your team check out for hotspot..
75 jan 20 21:29:10 <woutervddn> they are all free now.. (we had someone doing the same in leuven..)
76 jan 20 21:29:12 <JanC> it includes a big screen and at least 2 good laptops that people don't need for other things
77 jan 20 21:30:38 <jean7491> for fosdem, you have the new banner and table cloth
78 jan 20 21:30:40 <JanC> I plan to bring more info about FOSDEM during the comming weeks
79 jan 20 21:30:50 <JanC> yes, plus table cloth from ubuntu-fr
80 jan 20 21:31:09 <JanC> as we go 2 tables, we'll need it
81 jan 20 21:31:16 <JanC> s/go/got/
82 jan 20 21:31:30 <jean7491> ok, btw, don't forget to add an after action report in the wiki belgian team
83 jan 20 21:31:39 <JanC> right ;)

89 jan 20 21:32:47 <jean7491> ok
90 jan 20 21:32:53 <jean7491> item #6 digital week 2011, (28/02-05/03/2011)
91 jan 20 21:33:01 <jean7491> who has new information about the digital week ?
92 jan 20 21:33:07 <jean7491> already scheduled on 03/03/2011: presentation (2 sessions) of Ubuntu in the public library - Ostend
93 jan 20 21:34:06 <jean7491> it's a pity that ubuntu-be is not more present in this event !
94 jan 20 21:34:45 <woutervddn> I'm still working on my idea, but I need to find a partner school who's willing to do the same..
95 jan 20 21:35:05 <woutervddn> (and to convince some extra people at my school..)
96 jan 20 21:35:09 <JanC> woutervddn: school, library, ...
97 jan 20 21:35:46 <jean7491> ... as the major actor (linc vzw) support foss in the website and publications
98 jan 20 21:35:48 <woutervddn> library might work to.. I'll try it :)
99 jan 20 21:37:46 <jean7491> for people who are curious, look at http://www.linc-vzw.be/ and vsng.be
100 jan 20 21:38:03 <jean7491> next topic # 2. Promotion
101 jan 20 21:38:11 <jean7491> item #1 t-shirts for Ubuntu-be :
102 jan 20 21:38:17 <jean7491> update by wouter and bram ?
103 jan 20 21:38:39 <woutervddn> The shirts are ordered, printing will begin when mark has transfered the money..
104 jan 20 21:39:17 <woutervddn> as you all know version V4 was chosen. We're working on a way to allow readers of the ML to pre-order the shirts at a special price.
105 jan 20 21:40:08 <woutervddn> JanC suggested to just use the ubuntu-be bank account for that
106 jan 20 21:40:27 <woutervddn> jean7491 talked about opening a seperate account for it..
107 jan 20 21:40:43 <woutervddn> I don't really mind which one is chosen..
108 jan 20 21:40:49 <woutervddn> your thoughts?
109 jan 20 21:41:34 <massimo21> how wil the t-shirt be advertised and selled?
110 jan 20 21:41:49 <jean7491> aim is not mixing private account with ubuntu matter, ... using the actual ubuntu-be account is difficult, only mark has access
111 jan 20 21:42:15 <JanC> we can change the people who have access...
112 jan 20 21:42:40 <jean7491> for this reason, i propose a new ad-hoc bank-account
113 jan 20 21:43:00 <woutervddn> massimo21: working on that also.. I guess we'll make a survey for it, people should then toggle there size and put in there address and name. We can then pull it down in a spreadsheet.. :)
114 jan 20 21:43:02 <JanC> jean7491: such a bank account would be a personal account too...
115 jan 20 21:43:45 <jean7491> idd, but just to collect money from t-shirts to be tranferred to mark ...
116 jan 20 21:44:11 <JanC> I think we need to discuss this more with Mark (and on the ML maybe)
117 jan 20 21:44:54 <jean7491> this will be a private account, but we can add ubuntu in the name and open it to the 2 people from the t-shirt team ...
118 jan 20 21:45:11 <woutervddn> I don't really care where the money is going to in the first place. Most important thing is that it gets to the ubuntu-be account sooner or later..
119 jan 20 21:45:52 <JanC> as I said before the meeting, lets defer this until after FOSDEm?
120 jan 20 21:45:57 <jean7491> of course, we can discuss it with mark, ... but not in the mailing list as this is a loco team only matter ...
121 jan 20 21:46:15 <JanC> before FOSDEM, the t-shirts won't be available anyway
122 jan 20 21:46:22 <woutervddn> @jean7491 & JanC I agree that we don't benefit from having 2 accounts all the time, but keytrade enables us to close the account without costs..
123 jan 20 21:47:15 <jean7491> no we can not defer a decision after fosdem as we need to launch a presale asap
124 jan 20 21:48:03 <JanC> why do we need that?
125 jan 20 21:48:04 <woutervddn> Fosdam is more then 10 days away so we have time to discuss it for a few more days.. but things should be settled quite fast :)
126 jan 20 21:48:30 <woutervddn> JanC to get a 'special' offer to the people on the ML :)
127 jan 20 21:48:44 <JanC> is there a reason why we want that? ;)
128 jan 20 21:48:51 <woutervddn> so they are able to have something before anyone else can..
129 jan 20 21:49:09 <jean7491> as we start with, it is not limited to fosdem ...
130 jan 20 21:49:11 <JanC> people at FOSDEM will be the first
131 jan 20 21:49:37 <JanC> no way I'm going to ship t-shirts before FOSDEM
132 jan 20 21:49:46 <woutervddn> lol you don't need to :p
133 jan 20 21:49:56 <JanC> well, then what's the point?
134 jan 20 21:50:01 <jean7491> perhaps receiving the t-shirts, but other people could order before fosdem !
135 jan 20 21:50:17 <woutervddn> the ordering will be before fosdem, the payment until fosdem and the shipment the day after..
136 jan 20 21:50:28 <jean7491> presale = before t-shirts arrive
137 jan 20 21:50:39 <woutervddn> if we wait until after fosdem to start it all up it means we're 3 weeks later before shipment can start..
138 jan 20 21:50:47 <JanC> so?
139 jan 20 21:51:21 <jean7491> we should start presale tomorrow ...
140 jan 20 21:51:49 <jean7491> as only a preorder with not yet payment
141 jan 20 21:51:52 <JanC> thats' only possible when using the ubuntu-be account, right?
142 jan 20 21:52:48 <jean7491> preorder does not need prepayment, but well the will to buy it ...
143 jan 20 21:53:03 <JanC> hm
144 jan 20 21:53:30 <JanC> I still don't see the benefit of that
145 jan 20 21:53:41 <jean7491> if 20 preorders, i'll be happy, and perhaps a few will not be finalized ...
146 jan 20 21:53:53 <JanC> but if you want, okay ;)
147 jan 20 21:54:10 * mongolito404 est parti (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
148 jan 20 21:54:15 <woutervddn> massimo21, clamam, what do you guys think?
149 jan 20 21:54:45 <massimo21> agree with jean
150 jan 20 21:55:18 <clamam> we have to do something, i agree with jean
151 jan 20 21:55:34 <jean7491> 1. is promotion inside ubuntu-be, 2. we are pretty sure about people who will preorder, 3. we have nothing to lose, no t-shirt without payment
152 jan 20 21:55:36 <JanC> in any case, I would prefer the bank account question to get more thought though
153 jan 20 21:56:03 <woutervddn> janC why exactly is that?
154 jan 20 21:57:06 <massimo21> how much will a t-shirt cost?
155 jan 20 21:57:34 <JanC> well, I'd prefer the official account to be used, but that will require time
156 jan 20 21:58:31 <jean7491> as far as i remember, one day mark said he was not happy with a possibility like that
157 jan 20 21:58:58 <jean7491> = a lot of movements on the account
158 jan 20 21:59:04 <JanC> (using the official account also means it's less likely you get in trouble with the tax office)
159 jan 20 21:59:29 <woutervddn> massimo21: 3.5€ top..
160 jan 20 21:59:42 <woutervddn> I'm looking in to a cheaper method..
161 jan 20 22:00:06 <massimo21> i ment how much will we sale it?
162 jan 20 22:00:07 <JanC> jean7491: it's always possible to add more/other people to manage the ubuntu-be account
163 jan 20 22:00:37 <clamam> i said it a couple of times, but why not paypal. sorry to bring it up again. i use it many times.
164 jan 20 22:00:41 <woutervddn> massimo21 probably 13 to 14 euro's with shipment..
165 jan 20 22:01:19 <jean7491> for the problem tax office : for this reason i asked a clear bank-account only for t-shirt, not mixed with personal matter
166 jan 20 22:01:26 <woutervddn> clamam: paypal takes a part of the costs for its own :)
167 jan 20 22:02:04 <clamam> how much?
168 jan 20 22:02:21 <JanC> sometimes 100%, as I explained last time ;)
169 jan 20 22:02:54 <jean7491> of course we can discuss with mark on this issue, ...
170 jan 20 22:03:09 <clamam> i disagree with JanC
171 jan 20 22:03:10 <woutervddn> I'll ask mark about it.. :)
172 jan 20 22:03:14 <JanC> IMO we *do* have a bank account, so we should use it
173 jan 20 22:03:53 <JanC> but it might take some time to get other people access to the account
174 jan 20 22:04:21 <JanC> including going to the bank together with Mark...
175 jan 20 22:06:03 <jean7491> not sure by keytrade bank !
176 jan 20 22:08:21 <JanC> going to the bank is a requirement for "feitelijke verenigingen"
177 jan 20 22:08:51 <JanC> which is probably why Keytrade doesn't allow it (the have no local offices I think?)
178 jan 20 22:09:32 <woutervddn> yes they have.. but only 1 in brussels..
179 jan 20 22:09:41 <woutervddn> and our other account is also at keytrade bank..
180 jan 20 22:11:09 <JanC> well, not allow it on their web site at least?
181 jan 20 22:12:18 <jean7491> summary: does people (ordering outside fairs/events) have to pay directly to ubuntu-be (mark) or is it better to have another bank account to collect money before transfer to mark ?
182 jan 20 22:12:57 <JanC> ubuntu-be is not mark, he just happens to be the only active person that happens to have access to the bank account
183 jan 20 22:13:13 <JanC> I'd say it's at least as important to fix that problem ;)
184 jan 20 22:16:09 <jean7491> we can not fix the problem "who is ubuntu-be?" ! but it is not the question we have to answer to progress with the t-shirts, ... we will have to come back on the topic "organization" later ...
185 jan 20 22:16:45 <woutervddn> I'd say we round this topic up and discuss it with mark via mail.. :)
186 jan 20 22:17:03 <JanC> I will try to discuss with Mark too
187 jan 20 22:17:22 <jean7491> not the topic, but the question about bank-account
188 jan 20 22:17:34 <woutervddn> jean, can you cc me and bram please :)
189 jan 20 22:17:37 <JanC> one problem is that he's probably very busy before FOSDEM
190 jan 20 22:18:28 <JanC> anyway, yes, defer the bank account decision
191 jan 20 22:18:47 <JanC> and if you want, start pre-orders when you want ;)
192 jan 20 22:18:55 <woutervddn> check..
193 jan 20 22:19:00 <jean7491> continuing with t-shirts ...
194 jan 20 22:19:12 <JanC> with info included to wait with payment etc.
195 jan 20 22:19:29 <jean7491> about sale-price ?
196 jan 20 22:20:01 <JanC> price excluding P+P around 12 €, is that okay?
197 jan 20 22:20:23 <jean7491> imho, 1 price for fair/event, and a lower price for pre-order
198 jan 20 22:20:47 <woutervddn> well since ubuntu-fr is going to sell there at fosdem for 12€ we have to follow that..
199 jan 20 22:21:03 <JanC> we can discuss with ubuntu-fr ;)
200 jan 20 22:21:04 <massimo21> right
201 jan 20 22:21:10 <woutervddn> true..
202 jan 20 22:21:14 <JanC> but I think that price is okay
203 jan 20 22:21:19 <woutervddn> I leave fosdem in the middle..
204 jan 20 22:21:28 <JanC> what will be teh final cost / t-shirt again?
205 jan 20 22:21:30 <jean7491> my suggestion is 15 euros, as we are not linked with ubuntu-fr
206 jan 20 22:22:11 <woutervddn> jean7491: I think we should ask ourselves why people would buy ours when those of ubuntu-fr is 3€ less?
207 jan 20 22:22:50 <massimo21> if i have to spend 15€ then i prefer to buy the official ubuntu t-shirt
208 jan 20 22:23:14 <JanC> official t-shirts cost around 20 € or so ;)
209 jan 20 22:23:34 <jean7491> we only have 100 t-shirts, with special specifications, not to compare with ubuntu-fr
210 jan 20 22:23:55 <massimo21> they cost 12.70€
211 jan 20 22:24:03 <yanu> JanC: i like to go to fosdem, but i would like to go as visitor
212 jan 20 22:24:04 <jean7491> and the price is not limited to fosdem, but for all events
213 jan 20 22:24:05 <massimo21> http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?currency=EUR&cPath=14&osCsid=8956eae956612effe3e2147eee16adf5
214 jan 20 22:24:39 * bbartek est parti (Quit: Ik ga weg)
215 jan 20 22:24:51 <JanC> massimo21: ex BTW !!
216 jan 20 22:24:58 <JanC> and without shipping
217 jan 20 22:24:59 <massimo21> incl btw
218 jan 20 22:25:08 <massimo21> i have 2 t-shirt
219 jan 20 22:25:11 <woutervddn> indeed..
220 jan 20 22:25:11 <massimo21> s
221 jan 20 22:25:50 <massimo21> our t-shirts 15€ without shipping then?
222 jan 20 22:26:55 <woutervddn> if you are fine with that yes..
223 jan 20 22:27:17 <massimo21> i think it's to expensive
224 jan 20 22:27:18 <JanC> massimo21: it's £ 13,02 including VAT, which is way more than 12,70 €
225 jan 20 22:27:48 <jean7491> it is only my personal suggestion: 15 euros, normal price, 13 euros in presale but including port
226 jan 20 22:28:15 <JanC> massimo21: plus £ 6.42 for shiping
227 jan 20 22:28:29 <woutervddn> We could take the fair sales to 14, but if we want to keep some for ourselves I wouldn't make it cheaper..
228 jan 20 22:28:39 <massimo21> 9€ shpping
229 jan 20 22:28:42 * El-Kodar est parti (Quit: Ex-Chat)
230 jan 20 22:28:45 <woutervddn> 13 for pre + port is ok..
231 jan 20 22:29:18 <jean7491> 13 presale, shipping included
232 jan 20 22:29:25 <JanC> what about FOSDEM?
233 jan 20 22:29:29 * markvandenborre (~mark@ubuntu/member/markvandenborre) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
234 jan 20 22:29:32 <woutervddn> good question..
235 jan 20 22:29:36 <markvandenborre> hi
236 jan 20 22:29:44 <JanC> hey markvandenborre
237 jan 20 22:29:46 <jean7491> hi mark
238 jan 20 22:29:52 <clamam> JanC, Massimo21 : if you by more t-shirts then the delivery cost per t-shirt is less
239 jan 20 22:29:54 <woutervddn> [off topic] Linux just passed bye in de allerslimste mens..
240 jan 20 22:29:56 <markvandenborre> jean7491: been working until 21.15...
241 jan 20 22:30:11 <woutervddn> hi mark o/
242 jan 20 22:30:18 <markvandenborre> jean7491: what was the question?
243 jan 20 22:30:28 <clamam> hello mark
244 jan 20 22:30:48 <JanC> first of all, please pay for the t-shirts ASAP ;)
245 jan 20 22:31:24 <jean7491> summary: does people (ordering outside fairs/events) have to pay directly to ubuntu-be (mark) or is it better to have another bank account to collect money before transfer to ubuntu-be
246 jan 20 22:31:45 <markvandenborre> er, this is an ubuntu-be.org bank account
247 jan 20 22:32:36 <JanC> markvandenborre: currently you are the only more or less active person who has access to the account
248 jan 20 22:33:05 <JanC> I would have to look up who is the other person ;)
249 jan 20 22:33:26 <markvandenborre> Alexandre Laurent, not active since 3 years on ubuntu-be.org
250 jan 20 22:33:29 <JanC> I think it would be good if a second active person has access too?
251 jan 20 22:33:31 <jean7491> the case: someone orders a t-shirt and has to pay it to ubuntu-be, before receiving the t-shirt: it needs reractions
252 jan 20 22:33:46 <markvandenborre> you don't need a bank account for that
253 jan 20 22:33:50 <JanC> and maybe this could be e.g. wouter, as he will take care of the t-shirts?
254 jan 20 22:34:10 <markvandenborre> he/someone related to him pays for a pile of t-shirts
255 jan 20 22:34:21 <markvandenborre> to the ubuntu-be.org bank account
256 jan 20 22:34:40 <markvandenborre> in one batch
257 jan 20 22:34:45 <JanC> ?
258 jan 20 22:34:57 <markvandenborre> let's say 10 t-shirts is a manageable batch
259 jan 20 22:35:13 <markvandenborre> sell packages (either at a discount or not)
260 jan 20 22:35:14 <jean7491> but 1 person ordering 1 t-shirt: does he pay to ubuntu-be directly ?
261 jan 20 22:35:17 <JanC> woutervddn will handle all the orders (maybe with some help)
262 jan 20 22:35:24 <markvandenborre> and don't care how it will be resold
263 jan 20 22:35:27 <markvandenborre> ?
264 jan 20 22:35:34 <markvandenborre> (that's just a suggestion)
265 jan 20 22:36:10 <JanC> so somebody will have to be able to get frequent updates of the ubuntu-be account
266 jan 20 22:36:53 <woutervddn> I agree with mark that paying for 10 at a time to ubuntu be is a better idea.. I allready suggested that before..
267 jan 20 22:37:10 <woutervddn> we could say the second account buys 10 from ubuntu-be and resells it..
268 jan 20 22:37:14 <JanC> how would that work?
269 jan 20 22:37:27 <woutervddn> U-be has his money and we get the money back to account no2
270 jan 20 22:37:31 <JanC> how do you know what sizes you'll need?
271 jan 20 22:37:46 <JanC> and how will you explain to the tax office? ;)
272 jan 20 22:38:04 <JanC> (in case they bother to annoy you)
273 jan 20 22:38:08 <markvandenborre> JanC: don't worry about that
274 jan 20 22:38:48 <woutervddn> well we could take any number aslong as it's bulk order to ubuntu-be it's all settled..
275 jan 20 22:39:17 <JanC> markvandenborre: in any case, we need to replace Alexandre, right?
276 jan 20 22:39:22 <woutervddn> 10 or 37, doesn't matter as long it's been payed for in 1 time..
277 jan 20 22:39:38 <jean7491> at the other hand, it is not good to mix your personal money with the money for t-shirts
278 jan 20 22:39:39 <markvandenborre> yes, but that's an entirely different problem
279 jan 20 22:39:44 <woutervddn> JanC I agree with the last one but it shouldn't keep the shirt project from a go
280 jan 20 22:39:51 <markvandenborre> jean7491: it wouldn't be mixed up
281 jan 20 22:40:10 <markvandenborre> the way I see it whoever is interested buys a batch
282 jan 20 22:40:28 <woutervddn> we'd just make the second account on keytradebank but that account just buys the shirts from ubuntu-be
283 jan 20 22:40:29 <markvandenborre> and whatever this person does with them is not ubuntu-be.org's business anymore
284 jan 20 22:40:39 <markvandenborre> woutervddn: no
285 jan 20 22:40:48 <JanC> that doesn't work well IMO
286 jan 20 22:40:48 <markvandenborre> that's just making things more complex
287 jan 20 22:41:14 <JanC> not many people want to invest time & money in selling t-shirts...
288 jan 20 22:41:19 <woutervddn> why more complex? If i would be the person that handles it I wouldn't do it with my personal account..
289 jan 20 22:41:37 <woutervddn> okay this is how I see it..
290 jan 20 22:41:53 <woutervddn> I buy lets say 35 shirts from ubuntu-be and pay to mark
291 jan 20 22:42:20 <JanC> why would you "buy" them beforehand?
292 jan 20 22:42:26 <woutervddn> I resell those shirts on my own and people pay me on a new account..
293 jan 20 22:42:32 <markvandenborre> you pay to ubuntu-be.org..
294 jan 20 22:42:36 <JanC> they will be at your home anyway ;)
295 jan 20 22:42:51 <woutervddn> because then you won't have an argument to why we shouldn't use a second account :)
296 jan 20 22:42:56 <markvandenborre> whatever suits you, as long as this second account isn't an ubuntu-be.org account
297 jan 20 22:43:11 <woutervddn> it wouldn't be, it would be an account from me and bram..
298 jan 20 22:43:19 <markvandenborre> perfect, why not
299 jan 20 22:43:20 <woutervddn> totally seperated from ubuntu-be (legally..)
300 jan 20 22:43:37 <markvandenborre> and anyone else could do the same
301 jan 20 22:43:56 <JanC> I think it's not a good idea to spread the t-shirts too much
302 jan 20 22:43:57 <jean7491> but you don't nee to buy the t-shirts !
303 jan 20 22:44:27 <JanC> and as woutervddn & bram will do all the work, they shouldn't have to finance it either
304 jan 20 22:44:39 <jean7491> idd
305 jan 20 22:44:40 <JanC> pre-finance
306 jan 20 22:45:10 <woutervddn> if that isn't the problem then what the hell is? :s
307 jan 20 22:45:45 <woutervddn> either way it's a mess to let people pay directly to ubuntu-be and neither bram or I are going to use our personal account for it..
308 jan 20 22:46:15 <woutervddn> I only say 2 options here.. either pre paid on a second account (either on bram or my name) or post paid
309 jan 20 22:46:21 <markvandenborre> directly doesn't have to be a mess, but I can't be expected to check this account every day and email ...
310 jan 20 22:46:33 <markvandenborre> or cash to you, or ...
311 jan 20 22:46:49 <markvandenborre> I don't really see the problem right here either
312 jan 20 22:47:00 <woutervddn> mark.. exactly.. that's why this would make things easier..
313 jan 20 22:47:10 <JanC> which is why I propose to give somebody else access to the account too ;)
314 jan 20 22:47:23 <markvandenborre> JanC: I think we all agree that that is healthy
315 jan 20 22:47:27 <markvandenborre> (and it takes time)
316 jan 20 22:47:28 <clamam> yes, but who
317 jan 20 22:47:40 <markvandenborre> so no short term solution
318 jan 20 22:47:50 <markvandenborre> when it comes to t-shirt sales
319 jan 20 22:47:55 <woutervddn> well we can do this on the long term but not before fosdem..
320 jan 20 22:48:12 <woutervddn> so for the time being I propose a second temporary account for it..
321 jan 20 22:48:12 <markvandenborre> but for fosdem it's easy, right?
322 jan 20 22:48:21 <JanC> we don't need it for FOSDEM
323 jan 20 22:48:32 <markvandenborre> I will be there and we can have live access to the bank account
324 jan 20 22:48:41 <markvandenborre> for everyone to see
325 jan 20 22:48:45 <woutervddn> (I meant the preorders before fosdem..)
326 jan 20 22:49:11 <markvandenborre> preorders are not a problem
327 jan 20 22:49:14 <jean7491> fosdem: money has to transfer directly to ubuntu-be !
328 jan 20 22:49:23 <markvandenborre> exactly
329 jan 20 22:49:33 <JanC> if people want to pick up pre-ordered t-shirts at FOSDEM I will need proof of payment indeed
330 jan 20 22:49:33 <markvandenborre> preorders for collection at fosdem
331 jan 20 22:49:44 <markvandenborre> you will have that
332 jan 20 22:49:50 <markvandenborre> so that problem is solved
333 jan 20 22:50:19 <JanC> the ycan also pay cash @ FOSDEM
334 jan 20 22:50:25 <markvandenborre> you will have live account access at FOSDEM
335 jan 20 22:51:05 <woutervddn> and for people who won't come to fosdem?
336 jan 20 22:51:18 <JanC> send them with B-Post ;)
337 jan 20 22:51:51 <woutervddn> and pay with?
338 jan 20 22:51:52 <markvandenborre> woutervddn: you do the t-shirts thing right? so I imagine you have found some way to handle physical logistisc
339 jan 20 22:52:02 <jean7491> summary: when a lot t-shirts are saled (like fosdem), payment directly to ubuntu-be, for small orders and preorders, via wouter/bram and a special account
340 jan 20 22:52:05 <woutervddn> yes..
341 jan 20 22:52:17 <woutervddn> I vote for that..
342 jan 20 22:52:34 <jean7491> vote for what ?
343 jan 20 22:52:37 <markvandenborre> via the fosdem account is also no problem for as far as people can wait for let's say 2 weeks
344 jan 20 22:52:42 <woutervddn> for your summary..
345 jan 20 22:52:42 <markvandenborre> (worst case)
346 jan 20 22:53:05 <JanC> heh?
347 jan 20 22:53:13 <JanC> what would we need fosdem account for?
348 jan 20 22:53:14 <jean7491> the fosdem account ???
349 jan 20 22:53:44 <markvandenborre> erf, sorry, confused
350 jan 20 22:53:46 <woutervddn> he meant the ubuntu-be account
351 jan 20 22:53:52 <markvandenborre> yes, of course
352 jan 20 22:54:45 <jean7491> but i suspect 2 weeks delay is too long for some people
353 jan 20 22:55:03 <woutervddn> indeed..
354 jan 20 22:55:39 <woutervddn> so until someone willing to check every day has access to the U-be account I'd use the extra account.. aftwards we could just delete that.. :)
355 jan 20 22:55:42 <markvandenborre> I can schedule some dates, or do this weekly
356 jan 20 22:56:16 <markvandenborre> let's say for the next 2 months, I check the account once a week?
357 jan 20 22:56:43 <markvandenborre> that removes a lot of the complexity
358 jan 20 22:57:04 <markvandenborre> and after that, I presume someone like Jean or Jan will already have
359 jan 20 22:57:16 <markvandenborre> access to the ubuntu-be.org bank account
360 jan 20 22:57:21 <markvandenborre> -> problem solved?
361 jan 20 22:57:56 <jean7491> another solution is to give wouter a read only access to ubuntu-be account ?
362 jan 20 22:58:15 <markvandenborre> but he could get rw access, that's not the problem
363 jan 20 22:58:16 <JanC> is that possible?
364 jan 20 22:58:18 <jean7491> as you can manage it at the k-bank
365 jan 20 22:58:37 <markvandenborre> only there's no option to do that before signing paperwork etcetera
366 jan 20 22:58:41 <markvandenborre> -> takes time
367 jan 20 22:59:37 <markvandenborre> that's why I suggest a weekly check and me sending out the information to Wouter before more people have access again
368 jan 20 23:00:14 <JanC> I think people can wait 1 week
369 jan 20 23:00:16 <jean7491> weekly sounds good for me
370 jan 20 23:00:30 <markvandenborre> right
371 jan 20 23:00:34 <JanC> it's a volunteer job after all
372 jan 20 23:00:39 <markvandenborre> exactly
373 jan 20 23:00:53 <JanC> if they want daily, they can volunteer ;)
374 jan 20 23:01:06 <jean7491> everybody agrees ?
375 jan 20 23:01:18 <woutervddn> we do it like that then :) if mark sends the mail to me I'll figure out what has to be sent to bram and which are for me to take care of :)
376 jan 20 23:01:41 <jean7491> ok, thanks !
377 jan 20 23:01:53 <markvandenborre> right, so who else for bank account access?
378 jan 20 23:02:02 <markvandenborre> jean7491: would you like to have it?
379 jan 20 23:02:08 <markvandenborre> JanC: ?
380 jan 20 23:02:11 <markvandenborre> anyone else?
381 jan 20 23:02:33 <woutervddn> If I could have one it's a lot easier.. only read access is enough..
382 jan 20 23:02:53 <jean7491> bank-account problem is solved for t-shirts - the other problem is for later !
383 jan 20 23:03:28 <markvandenborre> jean7491: later, but as soon as possible
384 jan 20 23:03:53 <JanC> markvandenborre: IIRC we ahve to pay extra for more than 2, right?
385 jan 20 23:04:13 <markvandenborre> I don't know exactly, but there was something difficult about having more than two
386 jan 20 23:04:25 <markvandenborre> might have changed in the mean time
387 jan 20 23:04:42 <JanC> IIRC you only get 2 bank cards by default or something
388 jan 20 23:04:43 <markvandenborre> I also asked for anonymous read access, but that was not possible at the time
389 jan 20 23:04:49 <markvandenborre> yes, something like that
390 jan 20 23:05:03 <jean7491> ok mark, thanks for your help, but i suggest we continue t-shirts item with sale-price ...
391 jan 20 23:05:03 <markvandenborre> so someone will have to contact Alexandre, for revoking his access
392 jan 20 23:05:05 <JanC> and probably need it to access the website?
393 jan 20 23:05:30 <jean7491> i suggest we continue t-shirts item with sale-price .. .
394 jan 20 23:05:37 <markvandenborre> no, it's an RSA id
395 jan 20 23:05:56 <JanC> markvandenborre: can you make sure the t-shirts are paid ASAP so they are in time for FOSDEm?
396 jan 20 23:06:32 * wouter_vddn (~woutervdd@d54C1A7ED.access.telenet.be) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
397 jan 20 23:06:43 <JanC> markvandenborre: and maybe ask the bank how to transfer access to the account (what's needed etc.)

400 jan 20 23:07:07 <markvandenborre> jean7491: sorry to get back to this, but...
401 jan 20 23:07:07 <wouter_vddn> sorry I timed out.. missed anything?
402 jan 20 23:07:29 <JanC> wouter_vddn: what was the last you saw?
403 jan 20 23:07:36 <markvandenborre> oops, google doesn't seem to do clean urls anumore
404 jan 20 23:07:45 <wouter_vddn> <jean7491> bank-account problem is solved for t-shirts - the other problem is for later !
405 jan 20 23:07:53 * woutervddn est parti (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
406 jan 20 23:08:07 <JanC> I'll pastebin it
407 jan 20 23:08:28 <jean7491> coming back to my previous suggestion: 15 euros, normal price, 13 euros in presale but including port ?
408 jan 20 23:08:37 <JanC> http://paste.ubuntu.com/556344/
409 jan 20 23:09:29 <JanC> don't we need to be sure how much port & packaging (don't forget!) costs before deciding a final price?
410 jan 20 23:09:42 <markvandenborre> yes, even before ordering I'd suggest
411 jan 20 23:09:55 <markvandenborre> but then again... bit late for me to come up with that :)
412 jan 20 23:10:05 <wouter_vddn> thx.. fr the paste
413 jan 20 23:10:42 <JanC> markvandenborre: this is P&P for sending to people in .be
414 jan 20 23:10:47 <wouter_vddn> port and packaging from the comany to us is settled mark..
415 jan 20 23:10:55 <markvandenborre> yes, I know
416 jan 20 23:11:17 <wouter_vddn> for the p&p it's 3.5€ top..
417 jan 20 23:11:27 <jean7491> port and packing should be between +/- 2.10 and 4 euros
418 jan 20 23:11:43 <JanC> for 1 t-shirt?
419 jan 20 23:11:43 <wouter_vddn> so with that in mind we can determine the price..
420 jan 20 23:11:48 <jean7491> 4 or 3.5
421 jan 20 23:12:02 <wouter_vddn> janC yes for 1 shirt..
422 jan 20 23:12:07 <markvandenborre> 8.56+4=12.5
423 jan 20 23:12:15 <JanC> and less for more I guess
424 jan 20 23:12:33 <markvandenborre> so at zero profit, you need 12.5€/t-shirt to break even
425 jan 20 23:12:35 <wouter_vddn> yes..
426 jan 20 23:12:46 <wouter_vddn> mark.. it's not 8.56 for a shirt..
427 jan 20 23:12:55 <markvandenborre> ah, numbers changed?
428 jan 20 23:12:59 <wouter_vddn> yes..
429 jan 20 23:13:16 <JanC> what's total cost / 100 ?
430 jan 20 23:13:48 <wouter_vddn> 8,0623
431 jan 20 23:13:56 <JanC> right
432 jan 20 23:14:03 <wouter_vddn> so let's take 8,07 to count with :)
433 jan 20 23:14:23 <JanC> +/- 12 €
434 jan 20 23:14:49 <wouter_vddn> indeed.. So we're at least break even for the pre orders.. :)
435 jan 20 23:15:21 <JanC> so, 13 € / t-shirt pre-orders, 15 € / t-shirt later orders sounds okay
436 jan 20 23:15:27 <markvandenborre> ...or
437 jan 20 23:15:29 <markvandenborre> ...
438 jan 20 23:15:39 <JanC> and for FOSDEM etc. I can sell them at 12 or 13 € ?
439 jan 20 23:15:54 <markvandenborre> at 10 is ok, logistics are zero there
440 jan 20 23:16:02 <markvandenborre> same for batches...
441 jan 20 23:16:06 <markvandenborre> it's the postage
442 jan 20 23:16:10 <markvandenborre> that does it
443 jan 20 23:16:17 <markvandenborre> 9.99€ :)
444 jan 20 23:16:28 <wouter_vddn> mark.. we are looking for a little more benefit for U-be I think..
445 jan 20 23:16:30 <markvandenborre> minimum contribution = 9.99€
446 jan 20 23:16:34 <JanC> markvandenborre: ubuntu-fr will bring some t-shirts at 12 € to FOSDEM too
447 jan 20 23:16:51 <wouter_vddn> (btw, I managed to get a blouse of my girlfriend inside the 3.50 package..)
448 jan 20 23:16:54 <markvandenborre> wouter_vddn: no, if this was about profit, we would have done something else
449 jan 20 23:17:11 <markvandenborre> we mostly want to avoid a loss first
450 jan 20 23:17:24 <wouter_vddn> I remember reading something else..
451 jan 20 23:17:27 <markvandenborre> and get some visiblity for ubuntu
452 jan 20 23:17:29 <JanC> there is always some loss with leftovers anyway ;)
453 jan 20 23:17:33 <markvandenborre> or did I misunderstand that?
454 jan 20 23:17:38 <JanC> s/always/often/
455 jan 20 23:18:20 <jean7491> fosdem price, if lower, should not be below 12 euros
456 jan 20 23:18:25 <markvandenborre> (I'm sorry if I overlooked things, but I thought that was the primary goal of the t-shirts)
457 jan 20 23:19:02 <JanC> markvandenborre: making a small profit is better than making a loss, but it's not like we don't have money...
458 jan 20 23:19:07 <markvandenborre> it all depends on goals: if it's profitability, I'd rather say scrap the project
459 jan 20 23:19:30 <markvandenborre> (nasty as that may sound, and ungrateful after all the effort spent)
460 jan 20 23:19:56 <markvandenborre> if it's extra visiblity at low or zero cost, it all becomes different
461 jan 20 23:20:05 <markvandenborre> just like pricing
462 jan 20 23:20:33 <JanC> the main reason to ask 12 € at FOSDEM is to equalize prices
463 jan 20 23:20:35 <wouter_vddn> mark.. I think the goal was to get our name out but with this creating changes for U-be to do more..
464 jan 20 23:21:09 <JanC> and if we make some profit, we can always use it to give away t-shirts etc. ;)
465 jan 20 23:21:10 <jean7491> and getting some extra money to acquire material for promotion
466 jan 20 23:21:18 <wouter_vddn> the money we get from it would fully go back in the U-be system enabling us to do more things..
467 jan 20 23:21:25 <clamam> we are all volunteers to promote ubuntu and not to make money of it. that's my opinion
468 jan 20 23:21:42 <massimo21> agree too
469 jan 20 23:21:49 <wouter_vddn> clamam, it's not like we are out to money for ourselves..
470 jan 20 23:21:59 <markvandenborre> for the moment there's zero profit, and an 800€ cost
471 jan 20 23:22:14 <jean7491> idd
472 jan 20 23:22:21 <markvandenborre> if you want to minimise that side of the equation, you want to get rid of a pile in the beginning
473 jan 20 23:22:27 <markvandenborre> to get closer to break even asap
474 jan 20 23:23:05 <markvandenborre> we could say we keep a few for fairs for example
475 jan 20 23:23:35 <massimo21> i heve to go now
476 jan 20 23:23:42 <massimo21> good night people
477 jan 20 23:23:42 <clamam> Wouter: for me breakeven sounds good to me
478 jan 20 23:23:42 <markvandenborre> no problemo, see you!
479 jan 20 23:24:12 * massimo21 (~massimo21@91.176.27.75) a quitté #ubuntu-be
480 jan 20 23:24:42 <clamam> a little profit is good, but we don't have ove do it
481 jan 20 23:24:46 <jean7491> summary: 15 euros in events, 13 euros in preorder (incl port) and 12 euro in fosdem ?
482 jan 20 23:25:12 <JanC> and 15 € when ordered later?
483 jan 20 23:25:20 <JanC> or more?
484 jan 20 23:25:29 <jean7491> + port
485 jan 20 23:25:50 <jean7491> = +/- 18.5
486 jan 20 23:25:52 <markvandenborre> I say look at the worst case scenario
487 jan 20 23:26:03 <wouter_vddn> mark, and that is?
488 jan 20 23:26:07 <markvandenborre> that we want to avoid
489 jan 20 23:26:21 <markvandenborre> and look at the optimal scenario that we would love to see
490 jan 20 23:26:24 <markvandenborre> financially spoken
491 jan 20 23:26:30 <wouter_vddn> I like the prices that jean gave..
492 jan 20 23:26:36 <markvandenborre> and look at it from there also
493 jan 20 23:26:58 <wouter_vddn> we can allways lower the price later on..
494 jan 20 23:27:25 <wouter_vddn> the fair price might be 14 instead of 15 but other prices are good as they are (in my opinion)
495 jan 20 23:27:29 <markvandenborre> how many do we want to keep for ubuntu-be.org fairs?
496 jan 20 23:27:34 <JanC> wouter_vddn: next year during the "solden" ? :P
497 jan 20 23:27:42 <wouter_vddn> :p for instance :p
498 jan 20 23:27:51 <wouter_vddn> mark.. doesn't matter.. the more that are out the better..
499 jan 20 23:27:58 <wouter_vddn> if it's a succes we can make new once..
500 jan 20 23:28:05 <JanC> if everything is gone, we can order new t-shirts
501 jan 20 23:28:15 <wouter_vddn> depending on the speed people buy them we can change the amount we order (and the design..)
502 jan 20 23:28:26 <markvandenborre> ...and if only 10 are gone, there's 90 sitting in a box
503 jan 20 23:28:40 <wouter_vddn> indeed..
504 jan 20 23:28:43 <markvandenborre> (I'm not saying that is going to happen)
505 jan 20 23:28:47 <jean7491> who disagree with : 15 euros in events, 13 euros in preorder (incl port) and 12 euro in fosdem ?
506 jan 20 23:28:54 <JanC> I'm sure that's not going to happen ;)
507 jan 20 23:29:05 <clamam> it's good for me Jean7491
508 jan 20 23:29:07 <JanC> jean7491: I agree
509 jan 20 23:29:17 <wouter_vddn> but if it does we've learned out of that and we could give them away..
510 jan 20 23:29:22 * markvandenborre would rather see a lower price, but I certainly won't disagree, I'm not involved enough
511 jan 20 23:29:25 <wouter_vddn> I agree also
512 jan 20 23:29:50 <wouter_vddn> mark.. if this is a succes we can order more and lower the price..
513 jan 20 23:29:53 <JanC> markvandenborre: it's rather low already, considering we have organic/fair trade t-shirts
514 jan 20 23:30:04 <wouter_vddn> ^true that..
515 jan 20 23:30:26 <clamam> we have to bye 100, or else the project is stuck and it took a long time to get to this point
516 jan 20 23:30:47 <jean7491> wouter : next about t-shirts ?
517 jan 20 23:30:57 <clamam> finally we can offer more then only our know how and cd's ad fairs
518 jan 20 23:31:25 <wouter_vddn> sorry jean but I had my shirt portion for today :p
519 jan 20 23:31:34 <wouter_vddn> not really anything to say about it now :p
520 jan 20 23:31:38 <jean7491> if no other comment, design and presale should be added as soon as possible in the facebook-ubuntu-be and identi.ca !ubuntube ...
521 jan 20 23:32:15 <clamam> ok, i will do that for Facebook
522 jan 20 23:32:18 <jean7491> for that, we need a copy of the final design you sent with the order
523 jan 20 23:32:20 <wouter_vddn> (and maybe all at the same time with the new plugin if we're lucky ;) )
524 jan 20 23:32:38 <wouter_vddn> ok..
525 jan 20 23:32:48 <wouter_vddn> I'll post it on the ml as soon as the pre order page is created..
526 jan 20 23:32:57 <clamam> wouter: that would be nice
527 jan 20 23:33:31 <jean7491> but i propose to wait the go from wouter, or at least to coordinate with him before publication in facebook or other places
528 jan 20 23:33:46 <markvandenborre> have to go, working tomorrow morning
529 jan 20 23:33:49 <JanC> of course
530 jan 20 23:33:55 <clamam> ok
531 jan 20 23:34:01 <jean7491> thanks mark !
532 jan 20 23:34:04 <JanC> markvandenborre: slaapwel ☺
533 jan 20 23:34:08 <markvandenborre> my pleasure
534 jan 20 23:34:14 <clamam> goodnight mark
535 jan 20 23:34:22 * markvandenborre has to get up at 7 tomorrow...
536 jan 20 23:34:36 <wouter_vddn> slaap wel ;)
537 jan 20 23:34:39 * markvandenborre (~mark@ubuntu/member/markvandenborre) a quitté #ubuntu-be
538 jan 20 23:35:00 <wouter_vddn> clamam.. a teaser might be thrown on Facebook maybe.. xD
539 jan 20 23:35:31 <jean7491> last word about t-shirts wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial will have to be updated
540 jan 20 23:35:32 <clamam> great idea wouter
541 jan 20 23:36:03 <jean7491> i propose we leave the t-shirts to item #2 promotion material for fairs/events : a few ideas ...
542 jan 20 23:36:32 <jean7491> JanC: do you have stickers “Powered by Ubuntu” to add in event-boxes gent, antwerp, mechelen, hasselt?
543 jan 20 23:37:07 <clamam> we have a set of wallpapers for the pc's and laptops used on the fairs
544 jan 20 23:37:21 <clamam> Massimo21 has made them http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=87950312093
545 jan 20 23:37:31 <wouter_vddn> I'll update..
546 jan 20 23:37:54 <clamam> they look nice on our pc's
547 jan 20 23:38:01 <JanC> jean7491: I have some stickers left, and I will be ordering new ones
548 jan 20 23:38:20 <wouter_vddn> they do look nice
549 jan 20 23:38:28 <clamam> we can use them to make custom iso's
550 jan 20 23:38:28 <jean7491> for example to be added to cd's you send in the future
551 jan 20 23:38:46 <wouter_vddn> but as a member of ubuntu-artwork I have to say they are not conform with the branding guides (not that I care about it, I love them ;) )
552 jan 20 23:39:12 <wouter_vddn> the CD's and the education is the next project I want to put my wings on
553 jan 20 23:39:12 <clamam> i know but this looks great
554 jan 20 23:39:17 <wouter_vddn> *under
555 jan 20 23:39:23 <JanC> please put wallpapers on the wiki also ;)
556 jan 20 23:39:30 <wouter_vddn> clamam: I agree :p but people would kill me otherwize :p
557 jan 20 23:39:40 * JanC can't see them on facebook
558 jan 20 23:39:57 <clamam> i will ask massimo on sunday @ the fair in Hasselt
559 jan 20 23:40:19 <wouter_vddn> clamam, can you upload them to spreadubuntu.org?
560 jan 20 23:40:48 <clamam> JanC: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=87950312093&v=photos
561 jan 20 23:41:35 <jean7491> you can place the backgrounds in wiki ttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial
562 jan 20 23:41:40 <clamam> i will try that, but massimo is the designer and i am going to ask him
563 jan 20 23:41:50 <jean7491> ok
564 jan 20 23:41:58 <JanC> we can't use them in a remix because of the branding guidelines
565 jan 20 23:42:20 <JanC> but if people want to put them on their own desktop...
566 jan 20 23:42:31 <wouter_vddn> janC.. we can add them..
567 jan 20 23:42:51 <JanC> wouter_vddn: if we want to call it "Ubuntu" we can't ;)
568 jan 20 23:42:58 <wouter_vddn> we just can't put them as a default (and even that we can.. just not in the default that we present to canonical)
569 jan 20 23:43:19 <wouter_vddn> yes we can janc.. if it's not the default we can ship anything with it..
570 jan 20 23:43:23 <JanC> not showing doesn't make it legal ;)
571 jan 20 23:44:14 <wouter_vddn> jan.. I read the guidelines 2 and a half times for the flyer proposal and I made wallpapers for edubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu..
572 jan 20 23:44:15 <jean7491> sorry, i continue with promotion ideas ...
573 jan 20 23:44:24 <wouter_vddn> trust me.. we can..
574 jan 20 23:44:43 <jean7491> wouter translated the (dodecahedron) ubuntu-calendar 2011 in dutch: see http://spreadubuntu.org/node/612 , nice goodie, to be printed on 160 gr. Paper, but not easy to realize the construction, but I succeeded
575 jan 20 23:45:17 <wouter_vddn> xD cutting guides are in the svg when you open it in inkscape.. :p
576 jan 20 23:45:41 <wouter_vddn> ( left of the printable area.. you can't see it in fotoviewer..)
577 jan 20 23:46:25 <jean7491> ok, thanks wouter, another idea ...
578 jan 20 23:46:32 <wouter_vddn> anyways.. I love the calendars and I'm going to make a white version for printing..
579 jan 20 23:46:57 * pep` est parti (Quit: so long and thanks for all the fish)
580 jan 20 23:47:14 <jean7491> i printed it in colour with inkjet, without problem
581 jan 20 23:47:31 <jean7491> next : about the flyers ubuntu-be a6 (2009): as i expect that our stock will out/empty in june 2011, I called for new ideas/designs
582 jan 20 23:47:31 <jean7491> a new wiki page is available: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsFlyers2011
583 jan 20 23:47:31 <jean7491> please add your proposals/comments in the mailing list and in the wiki
584 jan 20 23:49:30 <jean7491> for a short(!) meeting : other questions/comments ? next irc meeting ? on thursday 27/01/2011 at 21 h.
585 jan 20 23:49:39 <wouter_vddn> LOL4
586 jan 20 23:49:46 <wouter_vddn> I'll be there..
587 jan 20 23:49:55 <JanC> ok
588 jan 20 23:50:48 <jean7491> ok, end of meeting - thanks to all for your participation, have a good night !
589 jan 20 23:50:54 <clamam> is there a way to set a meeting for all of us to meet each other and for a drink?
590 jan 20 23:51:15 <JanC> clamam: ofcourse, would be a good idea
591 jan 20 23:51:30 <JanC> preferably somewhere "central"
592 jan 20 23:51:32 <wouter_vddn> YES! we discussed this in leuven..
593 jan 20 23:51:43 <clamam> can we put it in the agenda for a next meeting
594 jan 20 23:51:45 <JanC> we have done that before
595 jan 20 23:51:49 <wouter_vddn> it's a good idea to meet with people that won't go to a dipro beurs otherwize..
596 jan 20 23:52:29 <JanC> clamam: the agenda is a wiki ;)
597 jan 20 23:52:38 <wouter_vddn> btw.. last question.. no one of you guys happens to have an old A4 plotter lying around on the attic?
598 jan 20 23:52:50 <JanC> I don't
599 jan 20 23:52:51 <jean7491> good idea, i agree, just launch propositions
600 jan 20 23:53:01 <jean7491> no plotter
601 jan 20 23:53:15 <clamam> no plotter
602 jan 20 23:53:53 <wouter_vddn> damn.. :( I'd want to make a laser cutter but designing the x-y system is like 100 times the amount of work to make the laser setup :p
603 jan 20 23:54:35 <JanC> wouter_vddn: build it with lego technics? ;)
604 jan 20 23:55:06 <jean7491> thanks for your participation, and perhaps we will succeed with an irl meeting (!) -- bye
