  28  b. Flyers 2011
  29 Please look at  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsFlyers2011 and add your proposals/comments in the mailing list and in the wiki page. We desperately need your ideas.
  30 It is suggested to have flyers and rollout (next item) worked on in unison so they align in style.
  31 About design-rules (logos, colors, ...), see http://design.canonical.com/brand/
  32 
  33  c. Rollup
  34 Several proposals are in the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsRollup2011
  35 Please add your suggestions/comments in the wiki and/or in the mailing list.
  36 
  37  d. Other goodies (mugs, bags, pens, ... )
  38 A wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsGoodies2011 is open for designs and details.
  39 Beside the possibility to sale the goodies in Fosdem 2012, Dipro fairs and other events, it is possible to set up an online-shop.
  40 Although we can start with projects and designs, we have to examine the implications (logistic, legal aspects, tax-office, volunteers, ...), as Ubuntu-be has no status and is not authorized to do business. At the other hand, are the volunteers for promoting Ubuntu willing to act as sellers.
  41 Question to the mailing list: is there interest for goodies (pens, bags, mugs, ...) and the sale of goods in events like Fosdem, Dipro fairs, release parties, ... ?
  42  
  43 3. Update Wiki and Web-site
  44  - Wiki: links about the review are https/https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Index, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Legacy (all the content from before 2010 (not yet with links)), and an overview of what was done is added at
  45 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/2011/FebruaryWikiCleanup.
  46 A meeting is proposed by Wouter on 09/03. Further information will be sent via the mailing list.
  47  
  48 - Web-site: in a previous meeting, we pointed out that we need a page promoting our actions/events. the aim is to show what we do, hoping that new volunteers will join. No new proposals.
  49 - Web-site - Support point manual (http://ubuntu-be.org/en/content/513/support-point-manual) : a translation of the manual in French is started, but we need a german translation – who can  translate the manual in German ? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-belgium/+bug/718482)
  50  
  51 4. Other questions
  52 As we are considering more activities for Ubuntu-be, we should think about more structure, legal  and an evolution towards another form of association (vzw/asbl). The issue will be discussed later in another meeting.

  54 5. Next IRC meeting on Thursday 10/03/2011 at 21.00 hr.
