1. Past and Future Events
 a. Dipro Antwerp on 13/09 - report
It was a successful event with a lot of new enthusiastic volunteers from 
Antwerp area. The preparation of the team for the next Dipro fair on 
29/11 was already started.
 b. Software Freedom Day and HCC Vlaanderen OpenDoor Day 19/09 - 
Wezembeek Oppem
there were not too many visitors, but we were able to help some 
people,The  contacts we made with the HCC were positive, and we had more 
than enough volunteers.
 c. Accenta 2009 Fair in Ghent 19/09 and 20/09 - report
A successful event in a fairly big fair, excellent to let Ubuntu better 
known by the public, very good contact with Digipolis. Report and 
pictures are in the wiki  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Accenta_2009
The booth was a very positive experience and we had a lot of visitors 
(more than in some other booths in the fair!). A lot of people (more 
than in Dipro fairs) never heard about Ubuntu.
We should do more booths at different places like that: it is just a 
problem of contact and to find opportunities. Suggestions are welcome.
 d. Dipro Hasselt 27/09
The team (5) is complete and and the preparation is going well. WiFi is 
likely not available: we could use 3G if needed.
 e. Next events in October
Dipro fairs in Kortrijk 04/10, Charleroi 11/10, Ostend 18/10 and 
Oostmalle 25/10
The difficulty could be to constitute a team for Dipro fair in Oostmalle.
 f. Next events in November
Dipro fair in Ghent (08/11), Release Party in Ghent (21/11), Dipro fair 
Antwerp (29/11). We have to start the preparation of the release party 
in October: we need volunteers help for the organization/preparation of 
the party.
2. Promotion material:
 a. New posters are on sale, prices and order procedure have been 
published in the mailing list.
 b. Other promotion material  
We need a presentation in screenshots "how to install ubuntu in dual 
boot (on a generic pc)" as support of our explanation to visitors in the 
fairs. People having questions does not have time (and patience) to look 
at an exhaustive video. A presentation "on click" is easier, you 
progress according to the person you are talking with. rossemiel will 
try working on it.

3. Next IRC meeting on 30/09/2009 at 21.00 h.
