  10 <jean7491> hi JanC
  11 <clamam> Hello to all
  12 <jean7491> hi clamam
  13 <jean7491> anybody else for the meeting ? 
  14 <mimor> me
  15 <mimor> :)
  16 <jean7491> hi mimor
  17 <mimor> lo
  18 <jean7491> now we can start !
  19 <jean7491> topic #1.  Past and future events
  20 <jean7491> item #1   dipro computer fair hasselt 23/01/2011: report = massimo21 or clamam
  21 <clamam> it was a good fair
  22 <clamam> not too many people
  23 <clamam> see the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Hasselt_2011-01-23
  24 <clamam> the pictures and report are on it
  25 <jean7491> thx, other comment? plans for future ?
  26 <massimo21> no comment
  27 <clamam> not really, we need some cd's for the next event in Genk
  28 <clamam> can anybody send us some cd's? JanC or Jean7491
  29 <JanC> when is that?
  30 <jean7491> thx, next dipro genk 03/04
  31 <JanC> I'll see how many I have etc.  ☺
  32 <clamam> ok, thanx
  33 <jean7491> next item #2 dipro computer fair ghent 30/01/2011: ...
  34 <jean7491> team coordinated by mimor
  35 <jean7491> see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Ghent_2011-01-30
  36 <mimor> the stand has been preserved, i take it... from the mails I saw passing by
  37 <jean7491> yes, other comment mimor about coordination ?
  38 <mimor> people that are going to help out are on the list
  39 <mimor> will send them a mail informing them to bring their own food... as the french fries at the dipro are not that tasty
  40 <mimor> but I'll tell them there are fries as well :)
  41 <mimor> I'll add what I can bring to the wiki
  42 <mimor> kenny wil bring the eventbox to my place
  43 <mimor> janc wil pick it up sunday morning :)
  44 <mimor> I propose that he can take the eventbox with him, as I've seen he needs it for the fosdem booth as well :)
  45 <mimor> if that's ok with you JanC and jean7491
  46 <JanC> yes, that's why I come to Ghent actually ;)
  47 <mimor> ah ok....
  48 * padv est parti (Remote host closed the connection)
  49 <mimor> then I guess there is nothing for me to add
  50 <jean7491> no problem for me, but the virtual event-box has more material like table cloths, flyers, posters, white boards, etc ... that JanC does not need for fosdem ...
  51 <jean7491> we can not suppose that all the content move to JanC ...
  52 <mimor> he can take what he wants and drop the rest at my place... but then it'll get devided :s
  53 <mimor> so if it's not too big a hassle, he can take all of it?
  54 <mimor> JanC?
  55 <jean7491> otherwise on 10/04, people from ghent will have problem to find material for the next dipro. for this reason i insist for an inventaris of the boxes, so everyone know what is available
  56 <mimor> jean7491: is there a wiki page whith the inventaris?
  57 <mimor> I can easily update it during the dipro
  58 <jean7491> basic idea is th hold locally an event-box - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Eventbox
  59 <JanC> the intention is to get everything I borrow for FOSDEM back to kenny afterwards
  60 <jean7491> don'know what people from ghent foreseen?
  61 <mimor> according to my grey mass, the best thing to do, is have everything together as much as possible
  62 <mimor> I'll update the eventbox inventaris
  63 <mimor> on the wiki
  64 <jean7491> ok, anything else ?
  65 <JanC> alternatively, I can bring what I need to mimor after FOSDEM
  66 <mimor> JanC can take it to fosdem and then return it to Kenny...
  67 <mimor> all the same to me
  68 <JanC> then everything is back at the same place
  69 <mimor> JanC ask kenny what he prefers
  70 <JanC> and kenny can pick it up from mimor's place
  71 <JanC> mimor: how do you come back from FOSDEM on Sunday?
  72 <mimor> train
  73 <mimor> i guess
  74 <mimor> I got permission from the girlfriend to go saturday and sunday
  75 <mimor> :D
  76 <JanC> you can probably come back with me then, which makes it even more easy to drop of everything   ;)
  77 <mimor> ok ;)
  78 <jean7491> ok, next item ?
  79 <jean7491> item #3  Dipro fair Kortrijk 06/02/2011 : same day as fosdem !
  80 <jean7491> as today, only 2 volunteers coming from ostende and brugge, nobody from kortrijk area !
  81 <jean7491> Are there other volunteers ? please add your names in the wiki  ...
  82 <jean7491> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Kortrijk_2011-02-06
  83 <jean7491> other comment about kortrijk?
  84 <jean7491> JanC : can you give 10 cd 10.10 to wamukota ? he comes with me to kortrijk
  85 <JanC> that should certainly be possible
  86 <jean7491> ok
  87 <jean7491> next item #4 fosdem 05-06/02/2011 – Brussels : comment JanC ?...
  88 <JanC> working on it  ;)
  89 <jean7491> ok, we skip it ?
  90 <JanC> yes
  91 <jean7491> next item #5 Hobby and computers days - Antwerp 26-27/02/2011
  92 <jean7491> ubuntu-be will organize a booth during the 2 days, …
  93 <jean7491> therefore, we need  at least 2x4 volunteers (from antwerp area?)
  94 <jean7491> volunteers, please add your names in the wiki

 137 <jimbauwens> fosdem :)
 138 <jean7491> next ?
 139 <jean7491>  item #2 other material - promotion material for fairs/events : a few ideas ... 
 140 <jean7491> first: flyers, ...
 141 <jean7491> Jabout the flyers ubuntu-be a6 (2009) will out in june 2011, we need new ideas/designs …
 142 <jean7491> till now, only 1 proposal ! 
 143 <jean7491> a wiki page is available for proposals and comments…
 144 <jean7491> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsFlyers2011
 145 <jean7491> please add your proposals/comments in the mailing list and in the wiki 
 146 <jean7491> any comment on flyers ?
 147 <jimbauwens> nice!
 148 <jimbauwens> pretty, good design
 149 <jean7491> yes, but can likely be improved 
 150 <jean7491> or there are perhaps other ideas ?
 151 <JanC> do we need Canonical on it?
 152 <JanC> I don't think that's a good idea
 153 <JanC> better put ubuntu-be.org in that location
 154 <JanC> (rerring to the proposal on the wiki)
 155 <JanC> *referring*
 156 <jean7491> please add your comments in the wiki,or in mailing list
 157 <jimbauwens> I agree with that
 158 <jimbauwens> Will do
 159 <jimbauwens> :)
 160 <jean7491> hoping other reaction/proposal
 161 <jean7491> next ... another idea for a more “professional” or better look of our booths: ...
 162 <jean7491> we received from canonical 1 table cloth orange with ubuntu logo (3 x 1,5 m.)
 163 <jean7491> it is not enough for more than 1 table and for all events, we could look for table cloths in (ubuntu) orange, without logo, in polyester: any idea ?
 164 <clamam> wy not spend the donations on black table cloths, as we did in Limburg
 165 <clamam> if we buy it in orange and ubuntu changes it's color to green, what then?
 166 <massimo21> Black gpes with everything
 167 <massimo21> goes
 168 <jean7491> why not ?
 169 <JanC> if you have leftover donations I'm certainly alright with that
 170 <JanC> might indeed be an idea for other teams too
 171 <jean7491> my idea was to have an few sets in the main event boxes, preferably the same color/model
 172 <clamam> look @ our pictures of our booth
 173 <massimo21> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Hasselt_2011-01-23
 174 <jean7491> i saw it, nice idd
 175 <clamam> our eventbox have 4 table clothes that are the same
 176 <clamam> paid with donations
 177 <jean7491> idd, it is more to local initiative to improve the event boxes
 178 <jean7491> Other suggestion to improve the look: a rollup with ubuntu logo or another design ?
 179 <jean7491> estimation +/- 60 euros
 180 <clamam> http://www.rollup-express.com/rollup/10-enrouleur-personnalise.html
 181 <jean7491> same source
 182 <clamam> that's 1 of our next goals
 183 <jean7491> for example 3 pieces hasselt, a'pen and ghent, paid by ubuntu.be.org (if money available?)
 184 <clamam> that would be nice
 185 <jean7491> but of course if we hold locally all contributions ?
 186 <jean7491> before the decision to buy,we need ideas witch design is the best for rollups?
 187 <jean7491> if propositions, we can create a wiki page to work on this project
 188 <clamam> that's a good idea
 189 <jean7491> same way as for the future flyer, ...
 190 <jean7491> but before to spend more money, we have to see what about t-shirts !
 191 <jean7491> other ideas about promotion material ?
 192 <clamam> have you seen our cd boxes?
 193 <clamam> what do you think about it?
 194 <jean7491> yes, good idea ...
 195 <jean7491> what is the cost ?
 196 <clamam> ai had 200 dvd-boxes @ home
 197 <clamam> so now i put them to good use
 198 <clamam> 100 dvd-boxes cost about 15€
 199 <clamam> the slim ones are a little bit cheaper
 200 <jimbauwens> You could also create nice lightscribe cd's to put in the boxes (and then sell those)
 201 <clamam> and the there is the cost of the color printing, price ???
 202 <clamam> i print them @ work, for max 50 a time it's no problem, but not every week
 203 <jean7491> of course !
 204 <clamam> so when i'm out of boxes we can buy another 100
 205 <clamam> the people @ the fairs liked them better, because inside you can find also the info about ubuntu and the use of the cdrom
 206 <clamam> or custum iso in the future
 207 <jean7491> you are right, i'll look in dipro kortrijk 
 208 <jean7491> a better presentation of our cd's is an advantage ! it needs a better preparation and lookung to the next event(s)
 209 <jean7491> and to look forwards to the next event(s)
 210 * El-Kodar (~el-kodar@119.191-247-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be) a rejoint #ubuntu-be
