  36 3. Update Wiki and Web-site
  37  - Wiki: nihil
  38  - Web-site: work on the bug #718482 (the Support point manual) continues, the German translation is still missing.
  39 A special promotion or social media team should work on the issue of Ubuntu-be.org participation to social networks and blogging: interested volunteers should start such a group and work together on (feel free to organize special IRC meetings!).
  40  
  41 4. Other questions
  42  a Laying some foundations - Ubuntu-be.org needs a structure and an organization
  43 First ideas about a structure, a leading council and its mission statement has been added to the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/TeamOrganization
  44 The first section is about defining the agenda for the meeting planned on 25/04/2011 in Vilvoorde.
  45 The main issue will be defining a kind of leadership and mandate for the council which should have 3 objectives as  coordination, support and taking decisions when needed.
  46 Of course, the council has to keep contact with the community, LoCo Team and sub-teams through open IRC meetings, the mailing list, ...
  47 The possibility to create a non-profit association will not be at the agenda of this first meeting.
  48 Reactions in the mailing list will be welcome: please participate to this brain storming.
  49 Everyone willing to actively participate to this project will be welcome at the first meeting.
  50 
  51  b. Membership to the Belgian LoCo team
  52 Proposed policy should be to accept anyone to join the team, as long as that person is interested in Ubuntu, wants to be a part of the team and is being able to work together with others as part of a team. The participation to the team is difficult to define. There is a difference between the Ubuntu Belgian community (Ubuntu users and readers of the mailing list) and the Belgian LoCo Team (see mission statement and "If you want to do serious volunteer work". Various opinions were expressed.
