  12 Although only 3 volunteers, everything was OK. Thanks to an initial stock of 50 home-burned CD's, we have not wasted our time with copying cd’s and we were always available for the visitors.
  13 
  14 How much cost such CD’s ? (prices from the last Dipro) 100 CD-R’s for 21 euro + 100 CD sleeves for 2 euro + cost burning CD’s (?) + printing sleeves (?) + time (?) = probably 0,25 to 0,35 euro/CD. Pressing our own around 0.50 euro, Canonical shop is 0.93 euro/CD.
  15 
  16 Ubuntu-be should buy a stock of blanco CD-R’s and blanco CD sleeves. The promotion kit for teams organizing booths should include 50 blanco CD-R’s + sleeves, posters and flyers.

  53 Comment about the proposal to burn CD's for Ubuntu-be ? See last week reports (in the wiki)
  54 
  55 On 05/02 Steven Leeman wrote some details about Hardy Heron CD's, link to http://www.kopieer-cd.be/prijzen/cd-produceren-prijsklasse.jsp and the fact that no sponsor logo was used, only url's.
  56 
  57 Guy said he wants to buy at least 200 CD's if we press our own and MarkVDB also said he wants to buy or pay for some.
  58 
  59 Through IRC meetings, we can discuss in group the basic need : what? how many? When?, ..., but we need a small group collecting and investigating informations. We should ask a dedicated team to compare the possibilities and to make concrete proposals, including prices-offers.
  60 
  61 Then we can take a decision.
  62 
  63 Who is volunteer to lead the team ?
  64 
  65 bbartek can still do some work like driving to Germany to deliver the master CD or something like that but has no time to lead a project. Last week, Adcomp proposed his help for creating the ISO.
  66

  71 4. Things living in the mailing list
  72 
  73 a. As already mentioned last week, we should find new ways/events to promote Ubuntu: all suggestions are welcome!
  74 
  75 Wamukota suggested Ubuntu-be participation in all kind of open-doors organized by schools : we can extend this suggestion to all kind of hobby fairs locally organized by associations or cities.
  76 
  77 local initiative is the cornerstone of success : everybody can look for contact and propose activities
  78
