The first (and only so far) demo I gave, was to someone who heard about
Linux in general and Ubuntu specificly in evening school in CVO Temse.
(Centrum voor Volwassenen Onderwijs).
The teacher told him there was someone distributing Ubuntu in
Sint-Niklaas, and Google did the rest.

I don't know if I already mentioned it here, but in september CVO LBC-NVK
Sint-Niklaas starts with a course "Open Source":

I'm thinking about contacting the teacher, perhaps he can use our help.
