  44 (21:28:31) JanC: especially a lot of people who never heard about Ubuntu
  45 (21:29:08) JanC: at the Dipro fairs most people know us by now ;-)
  46 (21:30:06) jean7491: anything else about accenta ?
  47 (21:31:00) JanC: I think we should do more booths at different places like that...
  48 (21:32:45) jean7491: it is just a problem of contact and to find opportunities! suggestions are welcome ! but of course we have to plan all the events !
  49 (21:33:46) Gh0sty: ja die fotos waar staan die ff zien :p

  81 (21:52:20) guiydup [n=guiydup@d51530769.static.telenet.be] a rejoint le salon.

  87 (21:53:10) JanC: great
  88 (21:53:37) jean7491: with the help of local lug's
  89 (21:54:48) jean7491: the difficulty could be Dipro Oostmalle to constitute a team : but i am optimistic.
  90 (21:55:21) JanC: if not, no problem...
  91 (21:55:35) JanC: it's probably a small fair?
  92 (21:56:00) JanC: but we've never been there, so might be useful because of that
  93 (21:56:48) jean7491: likely small fair, i've to see with the people i know in a'pen and lier
  94 (21:57:23) jean7491: i 'll contact people after dipro hasselt
  95 (21:57:30) guiydup a quitté le salon (quit: "Java user signed off")
  96 (22:00:22) jean7491: next events in november : dipro ghent (08/11), release party ghent (21/11), dipro a'pen (29/11)
  97 (22:01:18) jean7491: likely no problem for dipro, but i've concern with the release party !
  98 (22:03:27) JanC: hm, mike?
  99 (22:04:44) jean7491: no contact since a time and he certainly needs help
 100 (22:04:54) JanC: maybe we need to ask on the list if anybody wants to organise something?
 101 (22:05:02) JanC: or help
 102 (22:06:32) jean7491: yes, we can, but he already asked in may and june with no result. help should come from the ghent area
 103 (22:07:49) jean7491: certainly a topic for october (first weeks)
 104 (22:07:52) JanC: depends for what, e.g. helping to find people who can give a talk is possible from everywhere
 105 (22:08:44) JanC: other options are to just get together and have some drinks/food...
 106 (22:09:40) jean7491: the 1st problem is the basic organization, people for talks is for later; meet and greet is indeed a last solution, but this is no more a release party
 107 (22:11:07) jean7491: is it done for the events ? let's go to next topic ?
 108 (22:11:27) JanC: well, meet & greet is > 50% of all release parties
 109 (22:13:32) jean7491: let's speak about this topic on another irc contact !
 110 (22:13:50) JanC: k
 111 (22:14:07) jean7491: topic 2. Promotion material
 112 (22:15:12) jean7491: new posters and flyers are ok ! posters are for sale, if someone is interested
 113 (22:16:43) rossemiel: do you sell stickers also? i want one for my car
 114 (22:17:05) JanC: rossemiel: you get one for free from jean7491 ;)
 115 (22:17:22) jean7491: of course!
 116 (22:17:24) rossemiel: nice
 117 (22:17:30) JanC: I think there were some left in the CD box
 118 (22:18:06) jean7491: i've a stock of it
 119 (22:18:34) jean7491: about promo material, as answer to the 1st faq (use of live-cd), a short presentation of 5 screenshots has been usefull as support for basic explanation
 120 (22:18:41) JanC: jean7491: you have any "powered by Ubuntu" stickers left?
 121 (22:18:57) jean7491: JanC: yes
 122 (22:19:13) JanC: give one to rossemiel too then ?
 123 (22:19:24) jean7491: :-D
 124 (22:19:27) JanC: for his laptop
 125 (22:19:50) JanC: to stick in place of the Windows sticker, if there is any ;)
 126 (22:20:39) rossemiel: no windows sticker on this one, came with linux preloaded
 127 (22:22:07) rossemiel: its running karmic alpha though, i hope it doesnt crash at the event.....
 128 (22:22:21) jean7491: ok, ... about promo material, we need a presentation in screenshots "how to install ubuntu in dual boot (on a generic pc)" as support of our explanation
 129 (22:22:27) JanC: cool, anyway, maybe still needs a sticker like this: http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9 ;)
 130 (22:23:19) rossemiel: nice, my wife will love that (its her netbook)
 131 (22:24:17) jean7491: if someone can think about such a presentation and just do it, it could help us !
 132 (22:25:33) rossemiel: what if we play this video: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/2009/09/02/Ubuntu_Dual_Boot_Install
 133 (22:26:16) rossemiel: its in english though
 134 (22:26:35) JanC: jean7491: problem is, there are several ways to do that...
 135 (22:26:48) JanC: depending on hardware available etc.
 136 (22:27:11) jean7491: you will se that in a fair, people does not have time (and patience) to look at an exhaustive video
 137 (22:28:09) jean7491: a presentation "on click" is easier, you progress according to the person you are talking with
 138 (22:29:16) rossemiel: are you talking about a wubi installation or real dualboot?
 139 (22:30:18) jean7491: i speak about installation in dualboot, ... and it is true there are several ways to do it ,... it is why i suggest a "generic" pc mostly with vista
 140 (22:35:59) JanC: meaning resizing the NTFS partition ?
 141 (22:36:12) JanC: then rule #1 is: make backups ?
 142 (22:37:28) jean7491: i've difficulty to say "see ubuntu-nl/support/documentation/InstallatieDesktopJaunty" as this is not dualboot: you have to see installatie ubuntu 8.04 with xp for a dual boot
 143 (22:43:31) jean7491: this was my last item for this meeting: any other topic, ... if not i propose next IRC meeting on 30/09/2009 at 21 h 
 144 (22:44:59) JanC: k
 145 (22:45:21) rossemiel: i will try to make screen captures from dual boot install inside virtualbox ok?
 146 (22:45:22) JanC: I made a remark about the missing howto @ ubuntu-nl ?
 147 (22:45:46) JanC: rossemiel: that would help of course
 148 (22:45:55) rossemiel: jean i will let you know if it worked
 149 (22:46:24) jean7491: ok rossemiel ! thanks
 150 (22:53:34) jean7491: we stop now our meeting, thanks for your attention! 
 151 (22:54:38) bbartek: :)
