   4 1. IRC meeting as communication channel of the Be LoCo Team
   5 Regular IRC meetings are a way to exchange information and views about subjects related to Ubuntu-be, but only a small group is taking part or following the meetings. For who is not present at the meeting, we publish in the mailing list a report, as in the wiki with the log. We can assume that everyone has the possibility to read the report in the mailing list or in the wiki.
   6 There is very limited reaction to the meeting reports; do we need to change the frequency or the topics of the meetings?
   7 Certainly in july and august, 1 meeting every 2 weeks will be enough. We can consider meetings “on call” for  specific topics.
   8 Wamukota proposes Ubuntu LoCo Team Forums to communicate in a off-line way, discuss the results in the weekly chat and by using the forum, we can have more info available during the time of a week. Wamukota and JanC will mod the forum, only Belgian Loco stuff of course, and pass all interesting data from and to the mailing list. More details later in the mailing list.

  10 2. Relation with other LUG's and computer clubs
  11 It was proposed to Julius (SambreLUG) to exchange information, and perhaps cooperate, for example on Dipro fair in Charleroi on 11/10. Additionally there's a new LUG in Charleroi. Starting in september, we will contact the Ubuntu support points from Charleroi area to find volunteers for the booth.
  12 Gh0sty: Zeus - ugov is present, I forward meetings and stuff from and to our mailinglist: it's for them to decide if they are interested

  14 3. Other events
  15 Program of Dipro fairs is in  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs.
  16 Due to the coming holidays, volunteers for the 2 first fairs (Ghent and Antwerp) should add their names (TBC ) in the wiki before end of june (TBC=To Be Confirmed).
  17 Next event on 19/09: Software Freedom Day, if volunteers appear willing to do something, OK, but likely no big event for Ubuntu-be. In Ghent, there could be an activity as last years (Thinkwize).
  18 Release Party Karmic Koala in Ghent on 21/11. mimor is working on the topic and looking for several possible locations. News later in the mailing list.

  20 About the missions of the Ubuntu-be Events Team (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-be-events) described in the last meeting report, as there was no remark, the proposal is accepted.
  21 The Events Team and its missions will be added in the wiki BelgianTeam/Responsibility (who is who).
