[Ubuntu-be] IRC meeting report 21/10/2009

[Jurgen Gaeremyn]

Hi...

Our HCC group asked me to anounce the next HCC-happening too: we'll be 
having an install party. One of our members will have a 
PXE-install-server running Karmic Koala, allowing installs to happen 
very easily from inside the network.

"All ye is welcome" in Mechelen for this event. It's always nice to have 
a few extra skilled Ubuntu-people too.

I tried getting this into the ubuntu-be calendar, but I can't get myself 
logged in... After logging in into launchpad, the site assumes a new 
account... but my existing e-mail address is already a member, so I 
can't enter that.

I guess someone else can enter this event to the calendar... Here's the 
info, plucked from the HCC site (www.hcc-vl.be):

    Op 29 oktober verschijnt de nieuwe versie van Ubuntu Linux, een
    alternatief besturingssysteem voor je computer. HCC regio Vlaanderen
    nodigt je uit op een 'release party': breng op *maandag 2 november*
    je computer mee, en we installeren samen Ubuntu.

    We zorgen voor:

            * een PXE server - de nieuwste Ubuntu uitproberen of
              installeren via het netwerk
            * een presentatie: "Beginnen met ubuntu"
            * installatie cd's Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala"

    *Maandag 2 november vanaf 20 uur:*
    ***Salons Breugel*
    *Zemstbaan 1*
    *2800 Mechelen*
    **


Thanks,
Jurgen.
