  31 80 t-shirts were sold at Fosdem. Remaining stock t-shirts: Women: S = 1 ∘ M = 2 ∘ L = 4 • Men: M = 4 ∘ L = 8 ∘ XL = 1.
  32 It is suggested to move the left-over stock to Antwerp Hobby and computersdays and to order another 100 t-shirts (already 26 ordered in pre-sale).
  33 Kids t-shirts with a different funny design is another possibility. 
  34 
  35  b. Ubuntu promotion material for fairs/events : 
  36 - "Weg naar de vrijheid" posters: it is suggested to distribute (free) posters in Antwerp, and to announce it through Dipro regular email, for example, a gratis poster to the x first visitors (with a story?). This could be an opportunity to ask people to write about experiences with Ubuntu.

  48  a. Wiki
  49 - A link “where to buy a laptop without MS Windows “ (to an outdated page) has been added to the home page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam (see Material). This page needs to be updated (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/OsLessLaptopShops).
  50 - An update of the wiki will start with a To Do list (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/TODO and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-belgium/+bug/346975 .

  51  
  52  b. Web-site 
  53 - We are now working (thanks mongolito404) at a contact-form to be included in the web-site, as a way to contact ubuntu-be (not for technical support), The form is at http://ubuntu-be.org/en/contact and needs translations (Nl and Ge).
  54 
  55 - woutervddn is working on a page promoting our actions/events (text and pictures). The aim is to show what we do, hoping that new volunteers will join. It is suggested to promote our work/hobby on Facebook, in the wiki and web-site.
  56 
  57 - ramtar proposes to add our activities in http://www.agendadulibre.be

  59 4. Other questions
  60 A meeting IRL of interested Ubunteros is suggested  (Meet & Drink - Ubuntu Hour), perhaps an Ubuntu happy hours could be easier to organize,locally, before trying a bigger central meeting? Brugge, Hasselt-Genk, Antwerpen ?
  61 Additionally but not priority, this kind of meeting could be an opportunity to launch/coordinate future activities.
