   5  a. Summary - our activities in 2010 ?
   6 In total, we participated to 22 computer fairs + FOSDEM, and organized 4 events related to Ubuntu and FOSS. Thanks to all volunteers for their enthusiasm and engagement.
   7 Reports or a few words in the mailing list about events are important as the best way to share information about our actvities/participations to events. 
   8 gadeynebram will pass information and lessons learned from a lanparty in Blankenberg in October 2010 to Clamam.
   9 As already stated, we need a team (or work-group) to look for the future and other ways/events to promote Ubuntu, and an "Education team" helping for education, information and promotion.

  24 - Digital Week 2011 28/02-04/03/2011: Ubuntu will be presented in Ostend on 03/03. Other locations ?  The Digital Week is a nice opportunity to promote Ubuntu, everyone can take an initiative in his own environment, if possible in contact with other organizations. It is high time to start with contacts, otherwise it will be too late.

  34 The t-shirts team was in contact with Canonical, which agrees with our project (with respect for the guidelines) and is working on several aspects like logistic, distribution and finances. Contacts will continue next weeks. 
  35 
  36  b. Ubuntu and Education  
  37 woutervddn was stunned that end-terms for a school say that all people that leave school at 18 should be capable of using Windows. More support should be given to alternatives.
  38 gadeynebram was asked by two schools for Ubuntu cd's. They reported later the difficulty to educate the teachers. It is suggested to open some support mailing or some sort of FAQ section/wiki specific to teachers / ICT coordinators related problems. This item could be developed during another meeting. 
  39 
  40  c. Remember: we need a new French press contact, no information yet.
  41 
  42  d. Customized Ubuntu-be iso file for fairs and events, as suggested in a previous meeting: will be discussed after the t-shirt project is completed.

  47 The pages "Participate" has been updated.

The Ubuntu-be - web-editor team continues to work on this issue. A web-editor team mailing-list is suggested for coordination purpose.
