   8  b. Meeting OCR's (Digipolis) Ghent 14/12  (OCR = Openbaar Computer Ruimtes) 
   9 Kenneth was present : it was a good meeting, with a lot of questions. but interest for Ubuntu and  FOSS doesn't mean they will use it. The Windows-laptop of the organizer was broken, so everybody had to do presentations from an Ubuntu live-CD, in other words, it was a good demo.
  10 It is important to be present everywhere it is possible to promote Ubuntu. this meeting was a good opportunity.

  12  c. As conclusion of the program 2009 : Ubuntu-be has been very active and was present with booths in (at least) 16 Dipro computer fairs, 2 big fairs in Ghent (Accenta 2009 and Reva2009) and for the software freedom day in Brussels. Reports on all these events are available in the wiki. Additionally, we participated to other activities (FOSDEM2009, release parties, ...) but without report in the wiki : for this reason, it is difficult to summarize what has been done. The participants to activities are invited to add the activities in the wiki and to include a short report.
  13 Archives (reports) about what we done in the last 3 years is important for the re-approval of Ubuntu-be as an officially approved LoCo Team.

  15  d. Program Dipro 2010 
  16 The 3 next Dipro fairs are in Hasselt on 24/1, Gent on 31/1 and Kortijk on 07/2 :
  17  - Hasselt (24/1), the team is nearly complete and Rayvr will join (TBC).
  18  - Ghent (31/1) : Kenneth will lead the team, we will start to call volunteers in January,
  19  - Kortrijk (7/2), we will start to call volunteers in January.
  20  - FOSDEM (6-7/2)
  21  - Release party Lucid Lynx 10.04LTS : mid or late May ? 
  22 Within Ubuntu-be, who is interested by such an event ? Who is ready to contribute to an organization-team ? Please send your reactions and comments in the mailing list. A decision (about a release party 10.04LTS or not ?) has to be taken in January.

  24 2. Promotion material
  25 At each Dipro fair, we distribute +/- self-burned 50 CD's, but burning the CD's during the fair is a loss of time. A possibility is to buy 200 CD's (182 euros) from Canonical. A cheaper solution is to buy 200 blanco CD's in a Dipro fair at the best price and to burn at home 50 CD's before each fair.
