  21 As mentionned last week, HCC - regio Vlaanderen proposed Ubuntu-be a cooperation within their booth (total length 16 m.) http://www.hcc-vl.be/d001/content/hobby-en-computerdagen 
  22 A space (about 3m width) is reserved for Ubuntu-be, with a multiseat from Linux-Service. We need an additional table at disposal for promotion material and some hardware. Ubuntu-be will provide promotion material (posters, banners, flyers, and s.o. - to be determined).
  23 Volunteers: for the 2 days, we need 2 different teams of 3. Who (from Antwerp area is volunteer for this event. 
  24 CD's: the stock of Canonical official CD's is very limited. It will be necessary to burn CD-R's at home before the event. Model of Ubuntu 9.10 CD sleeve (to be home-printed on a white CD-sleeve) is available in the wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=CD+jacket+9-10-Nl-+ubuntu-be.odg)
  25 If we have anything left from the stuff we ordered to sell at FOSDEM, we might sell that at this event in Antwerp.

  27 2. Promotion material 
  28 About the proposal to burn CD's for Ubuntu-be (for 10.04LTS) :
  29 - Maybe Ubuntu-nl is interested in CD's too ?
  30 - Bart promised he wants to help with the CD as he did for the 8.04 CD, with getting the CD master to the company & getting the pressed CDs back to Belgium.
  31 - Sponsors : any idea on sponsoring these CD's (reducing the cost for Ubuntu-be)? Suggestions/propositions ?
  32 - Lay-out of the CD sleeve ? logo's of sponsors ?
  33 - Wat kind of customization of the CD ? 
  34 - Estimation of the price of this project ?
  35 - Who will lead this project ?
  36 
  37 3. Support points map status : no new information.

  39 4. Things living in the mailing list
  40  a. The procedure for reapproval-application of the Be LoCo Team is started (see mailing list).
  41 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/LoCoTeamReApproval
  42 First step is to gather information about past activities and plans. The wiki is the first source of information, but not exhaustive. Mailing list archive & IRC logs are other sources, but all information should be reflected in the wiki.
  43 What about relation with non-profit and (inter-governmental) institutions, schools, press and medias since 2006 ?
  44 Examples : 
  45 - Release party 8.04 in Herk-de-Stad in 2008 : no after action report, no lessons learned for the next release party.
  46 - Fosdem 2009: no mention in the wiki.
  47 We should/will have a separate meeting about all this somewhere after FOSDEM.
  48  b. Proposal to have regular (monthly) reporting, which should make sure we don't have to pose the same questions anymore in the future. Using this will make sure our reports get picked up into the international team reports. 
  49 See  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports and 
  50 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamReporting/HowTo
  51 Who will do it, based on IRC meetings + whatever news was posted to the ML? Maybe somebody wants to be responsible for it ?
