[Ubuntu-be] Gent computer fair report

[Bram Van Oost]

Hi,

As I passed by the booth today, near closing time, I mentioned that I'm passively been following the list.
Well, here's my intro!

Bram 'OrT' Van Oost, I work for a computer firm in Drongen, Gent (windoze only with one linuxbox for squid), have a little paperthingy in Red Hat (Syntra) and have been using SuSE for about 3 years now. My main OS is still windoze because of my work and specific demands in the direction of multimedia and audio(/producing). I'm really looking forward to replacing that entirely.

Big supporter of the cause (and hence, part of that €32 :])!

Due to always being overscheduled, my activities shall remain limited, but I will keep spreading the good word of the penguin and supporting you and other projects where I can.

Sincerely,
Bram 'OrT' Van Oost

Hi all,

A short note on today's computer fair in Gent, starring Adriaan,
Xavier, Jan, Peter and me:

* Except for Adriaan and most of our stuff, we weren a bit late
(mostly due to too adventurous time scheduling on my site). This made
the beginning of the fair a bit chaotic.
* 32 new subscribers for an ubuntu-be-nl-announce mailing list waiting
for creation.
* 32€ in donations received, 12€ of them spent on CD-R's
* 38€ ubuntu-be.org money spent on booth rent (post factum donor still welcome!)
* 62€ is ubuntu-be.org's working capital right now
* I am trying to get permission to sell t-shirts and other
non-electronic Ubuntu stuff  at the fair to fund our activities. No
answer yet, but looks promising.

Random thought:
* It might be wise to plan our future fairs presence in function of
the top X most visited fairs. Gent clearly attracts more people than
other fairs.

Sincerely,

Mark
