A little mail to tell everyone the dipro event in Leuven went very well.

Many people were interested and 'said' they'd have a look at the live CD.

Some things we've learned:

- - it's nice to have a little CD holder so that people can take a CD, dont
put to many CD's on the tables to prevent people from 'taking a free cd'

- - don't hesitate to ask people if they ever heard about it, tell them a
little story (either technical or just basic social talk about history of
ubuntu or nice features) and *only then* give them a CD

- - put a little leaflet about ubuntu-be in the CD-cover

- - speak about the (flemish) government and the education (they are really
promoting opensource in the education), speak about the ODF european
standard,...

- - always explain you start in a modus that doesn't change a thing to
their computer, no risk. If they like it, they can install it.

- - take a table-cloth (une nappe, een tafellaken) that unifies the look of
the stand.

- - don't forget to drink enough and take some breaks !
 After the event it's nice to go eat something with your fellow
ubuntu-promotors


Continue the great work !

Christophe
