   4 (21:00:05) jean7491: hi to all, who is here for the meeting ?
   5 (21:00:34) JanC: I'm around
   6 (21:05:17) pvandewyngaerde [n=id984031@91.179.193.248] a rejoint le salon.
   7 (21:05:26) pvandewyngaerde a quitté le salon
   8 (21:11:25) JanC: hm, nobody here for the meeting?
   9 (21:11:57): i can pretend to be
  10 (21:12:27) jean7491: Gh0sty ?
  11 (21:12:37) jean7491: hfsdo?
  12 (21:12:47) hfsdo: i am here
  13 (21:13:20) jean7491: hello selckin, hfsdo
  14 (21:14:26) JanC: okay, I don't have a lot of time really (and a LC-related meeting starting at midnight too)
  15 (21:15:12) JanC: so can we do whatever is most important first? ツ
  16 (21:15:27) jean7491: to hold it short with the actual participants ...
  17 (21:16:04) jean7491: opic 1. past and future events - dipro charleroi 11/10 - report is in the wiki
  18 (21:16:16) jean7491: according to information i received, it was a positive experience of cooperation with a local lug: it can be repeated if we found motivated lug's for other events.
  19 (21:16:58) jean7491: but only if motivated active lug!
  20 (21:17:16) jean7491: comment?
  21 (21:18:21) jean7491: if not dipro ostend 18/10 - we need volunteers for the booth, but can run the booth with 3
  22 (21:18:36) JanC: "active lugs" seems to be something that (almost?) only exists in Wallonia & Brussels :-/
  23 (21:19:05) jean7491: indeed
  24 (21:19:39) jean7491: next : dipro oostmalle 25/10
  25 (21:20:00) jean7491: 
  26 (21:21:21) jean7491: contacts with nokelu (local lug): nearly no active lug, although some motivated members (at least 3)
  27 (21:22:03) jean7491: we still need 2 volunteers for this fair - otherwise we have to cancel this event.
  28 (21:22:38) JanC: :-/
  29 (21:22:52) jean7491: and if we succeed to find these 2 volunteers, the next difficulty will be to bring material from ostend to oostmalle - in a very short time!
  30 (21:23:42) jean7491: hfsdo: i did the maximum i can, but no solution
  31 (21:25:04) hfsdo: i don't know either how to solve this
  32 (21:26:10) jean7491: i think it is better to cancel the participation to this fair, 2 volunteers is not enough to run the booth
  33 (21:26:25) hfsdo: i think that's the best thing to do
  34 (21:26:51) jean7491: yes, i will inform siegie
  35 (21:26:52) JanC: 2 could work on a small fair, but if one of them gets sick or for another reason can't come...
  36 (21:27:15) hfsdo: than it's not possible
  37 (21:27:38) jean7491: ok, it is cancelled
  38 (21:28:17) jean7491: then next event
  39 (21:28:38) jean7491: dipro fair in ghent 08/11 - the preparation has to start next week. the 2 first names are already in the wiki - nothing else to mention
  40 (21:29:39) jean7491: just to ask to kenneth (or someone else) if he can coordinate the booth
  41 (21:32:13) JanC: GrayFox: don't you live near Ghent too?
  42 (21:32:28) jean7491: selckin : if you are from ghent area (?), check if you can help on 08/11 dipro ghent?
  43 (21:33:02) selckin: i'm from gent, but i don't really know what it involves
  44 (21:33:43) JanC: selckin: explaining Ubuntu to fair visitors mostly
  45 (21:33:52) mongolito404 [n=pbuyle@83.101.7.62] a rejoint le salon.
  46 (21:34:04) selckin: doubt i'd be any good for that
  47 (21:34:54) JanC: selckin: almost none of us are born salespeople ;)
  48 (21:35:25) mongolito404 a quitté le salon (quit: "Leaving.")
  49 (21:35:28) GrayFox: no jean7491, i do not :)
  50 (21:36:06) JanC: GrayFox: where do you live? ;)
  51 (21:36:54) GrayFox: hasselt
  52 (21:37:29) jean7491: selckin : mostly just explain to people your personal experience (but low level), more details are in the call for help in the mailing list (or send me an email address through personal message
  53 (21:38:43) selckin: sorry but not something i can do
  54 (21:39:49) jean7491: as jan has not enough time available, we go ahead to the next item
  55 (21:40:06) jean7491: release party in ghent 21/11
  56 (21:40:37) jean7491: we have to start the preparation of the release party and we need volunteers helping for the organization/preparation of the party ...
  57 (21:40:44) GrayFox: cool
  58 (21:41:30) jean7491: we need a working-group of volunteers in charge of the event, mike and schwarz_p are already in: who else? i hope this group will start working - but unfortunatly both are not here tonight
  59 (21:42:27) jean7491: just for your information : first questions to be answer by the working-group: what do we want to do? and which audience are we targeting? how many participants?
  60 (21:43:22) jean7491: and only after that where? and the content: the working-group can look for more contacts
  61 (21:43:45) jean7491: comments?
  62 (21:45:23) jean7491: last event in november: dipro fair antwerp 29/11 - 2 names are already in the wiki and i found a coordinator, i hope other volunteers will appear - we have enough time!
  63 (21:46:06) JanC: okay
  64 (21:46:15) jean7491: if no comment about events, topic 2. promotion material
  65 (21:47:10) jean7491: first question : others ideas for promotion material? what do we still need?
  66 (21:47:32) koentje [i=57402484@gateway/web/freenode/x-wzylanjhmksmyqcc] a rejoint le salon.
  67 (21:47:49) jean7491: new ideas are always welcome, eventually through the mailing list
  68 (21:48:13) GrayFox: hmmm u can't be flyering about this sort of events, what promo do have planned already?
  69 (21:50:12) jean7491: was thinking about promotional material (posters, flyers, cd sleeves, ...) to be used in our activities
  70 (21:51:06) GrayFox: that seems ok
  71 (21:51:09) jean7491: promotion of the release party is another problem, to be look for by the working group
  72 (21:51:17) GrayFox: a facebook event to rsvp to! :)
  73 (21:51:35) GrayFox: ow right
  74 (21:53:00) jean7491: next item - about event boxes
  75 (21:53:22) jean7491: i have no answer about who is in charge of ghent event box ?
  76 (21:54:48) jean7491: no answer! with the multiplication of events in antwerp area, an event box there could be useful and i am working on the topic for dipro 29/11
  77 (21:56:27) jean7491: hardware we need is still 2 lcd screens, as large as possible, (or crt) 
  78 (21:57:21) jean7491: next topic # 3. about Support points - questions about the reliability and the update of the list/map,
  79 (21:57:26) JanC: preferably no CRT !
  80 (21:57:41) JanC: especially not large CRT
  81 (21:58:56) jean7491: if someone has 1 or 2 lcd screen for the event boxes ? 
  82 (21:59:35) jean7491: coming back on support points map : as already stated, we need to update the support map as the lack of reaction of support points gives a negative image of ubuntu community
  83 (21:59:52) jean7491: what can we do?
  84 (22:00:50) jean7491: JanC : infor from your contact?
  85 (22:02:44) JanC: no, not yet
  86 (22:03:19) jean7491: ok, we see later! has someone another question, not in the agenda?
