4 1. Past and future events
5 a. Release parties Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS.
6 - Ghent : Release party (13/5).
7 mimor reported that the meeting was good, approximately 20 participants from different level of experience, 2 installations on laptops and one problem fixed on another laptop, several questions about OpenOffice and the minimal installation of Ubuntu. Later it just went over to a regular Hackerspace evening. The location was awesome.

9 Using Facebook, Twitter, ... to promote this kind of event is discussed : although there are some reticence to do that, if other people want to, they are free to do.
10
11 - Genk : Ubuntu-meeting (Bitmappers) (16/5)
12 From the participants : it was a great event with a lot of interesting people, not as many visitors as in Herk-de-Stad, but a big location that we could be able to use again in the future. There was approximately160 people without the volunteers. The Bitmappers did a great job with this party,
13 and with the help of sponsors and city Genk.
14 Question : does anyone know if there will be some presentations or other documentations available ?
15
16 - Ostend : Presentation/Install party organized by Ubuntu-be with the support of the local organization Zandletters on 29/5 (13.30 - 15.00 hr.). See home page http://zandletters.be/. Volunteers to help and visitors are welcome.
17
18 c. Other events
19 - UDS was great: fun, interesting, lots of work being done, tiresome -- but great
20 . One of the results for locoteams is that we might get a good quality Ubuntu banner. There were some sessions about organizing events & such, and about how Canonical could help with that. Basically it might be useful for more people to attend the sessions, e.g. from remote (using the audio streams, IRC & gobby).
21 - LGM : JanC will be at LGM and present opensource/Linux/Ubuntu to graphics students. If anybody wants to show up, they are also welcome of course (details : JanC)

26 2. Promotion
27 a. Public Relations.
28 We need a Public-Relations Team. First step is to nominate new dutch and french press contact points : we agreed with the application of Nicolas as french press contact. If other people are willing to help, we could constitute a press contact team. We still need a dutch press contact (to be in charge of initiative and contact with Flemish medias).
29
30 b. New banner to identify our booth in the events : replacing Belgian Team or Belgian LoCo Team by “ubuntu-be.org” seems better as including the address of the website. Please feel free to comment the idea or to add other proposition.
31
32 3. Support points map status : mongolito404 is working on the problem.
33
34 4. Things living in the mailing list
35 a. New ways/events to promote Ubuntu.
36 Remember : all suggestions are welcome, everybody can look for contact and propose activities.
37 We need proposals of activities for the Software Freedom Day (18/9)
38
39 b. Update of the wiki
40 Review and update of the wiki page belgianteam/responsibility is necessary.
41
42 5, Other question
43 JanC : we might want to get together for a real-life meeting with some people and do that occasionally (like, at least every 6 months or so)
44 . With a good preparation and agenda, it could be usefull. The proposition has to be worked out. Your comment ?
