  22 - Release party in Ghent 21/11
  23 We have to start the preparation of the release party and we need volunteers helping for the organization/preparation of the party. 
  24 We need a working-group of volunteers in charge of the event, mike and schwarz_p are already in: who else? We hope this group will start working.
  25 First questions to be answered by the working-group: what do we want to do? and which audience are we targeting? how many participants?
  26 and only after having answers, where? and the content? The working-group can look for more contacts and propositions.
  27 - Dipro fair Antwerp 29/11 - 2 names are already in the wiki and we found a coordinator, We hope other volunteers will appear.

  30 2, Promotion material
  31  a. Others ideas for promotion material? New ideas can be sent eventually through the mailing list.
  32  b. Event boxes
  33 - Ghent: the statute of the Event box has to be clarified: who is in charge?
  34 - Antwerp: with the multiplication of events in Antwerp area, a new event box should be useful : it is worked on. We have desktops, but need some (2) lcd screens. 
  35 
  36 3. Things living in the Mailing List : Support points - reliability and update. 
  37 As already stated, we need to update the support map as the lack of reaction by support points gives a negative image of ubuntu community. We have to do something like an update of the system. JanC has no information on this topic.
