[Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu-be hacking party ce samedi 27

[Snulkid]

Hello everybody

This my first post so I should give you some context and introduce 
myself but, as we need urgent asnwers, I will send my blablabla later.

I got no answer from private emails to Ploum (bonne m... for your exams, 
Ploum!) so I hope Mark can answer quickly.

Let's go :

* 3 and maybe 4 members of our LUG LiLiT (http://lilit.be) are planning 
to travel to Leuven tomorrow for the first "Ubuntu-be Hacking party". 
Are we welcome ?

* what can we do? / why are we coming ?
** Frédéric has been testing the Dapper pre-releases, I guess he will 
have some things to say.
** Emmanuel (https://launchpad.net/people/emmort) is also an Ubuntu 
user. He would like a big "Ubuntu happening" to be set up, so I guess 
he will be interested in speaking with Cedric J. Emmanuel can speak 
Dutch.
** Serge (LiLiT's president) is a long-time Debian user. He has ideas to 
share about Ubuntu CDs distribution in our area. He is also polyglot 
(including German), coming from Luxembourg. But I'm not sure he can 
make it tomorrow.
**  I (Reginald aka snulkid) still do not use Ubuntu (but installed it 
for a few friends) but will make the big jump with Dapper. I can 
translate from English to French, as others, but I am far better at 
reading French texts in search for misprints and spelling mistakes. 
Just give me a try ;-)
** apart from working with you, we would like to meet Ubuntu-be people 
IRL. Even if we already know some of them (mentioned on ubuntu-be 
launchpad page or "frappr" map)...

* due to familial constraints of Emmanuel, we would be there from ~11 to 
~15h (we have an appointment at 10h in Liege)

* LiLiT is totally distro-agnostic; so far, we would just come as 
individuals (even if the whole board of LiLiT administrators could be 
in Leuven tomorrow ;-)). But, even staying neutral, LiLiT has 
opportunities for promoting Ubuntu : for example, each month (for 15 
months now), we participate in a booth at the most successfull computer 
fair of Liege area, the "MiHuy" (http://www.mihuy.be).

* I'm afraid we cannot help for the FR-be map so far, but LiLiT has good 
connections with the other groups in Liege, the local students 
federation, and many local associations; so at least, we can spread the 
word of ubuntu-be.

* 2 LiLiT members are on UbuntuFrenchTranslators. May be we could plan 
some "Belgian-specific help" (?) in that field.

Finally some questions about your "express CDs shipment" :

* I do not know what Mark means when speaking of "the entire ubuntu-be 
community". As a LUG, are we entitled to get some of the 1000 CDs ? Or 
do you need some official statement from us (and possibly other groups 
from Liege) to increase the number of CDs in your final order ?
* Will you order only Ubuntu CDs, or do you plan to get Kubuntu CDs as 
well ?

Regards
