[Ubuntu-be] An idea for extra representations

[Alain Baudrez]

Hello,

Besides the Dipro fair where we are a regular participant, we need to
broaden our horizon in order to promote FOSS and Ubuntu in particular.
The Dipro fairs are nice, but during the last years the impact, and
popularity of those fairs has gone downhill. It is becoming an exclusive
hardware fair where our stand is the only software related one. This is
nice, because we attract attention that way, but OTOH the visitors to the
Dipro's are more hardware than software inclined.

I was thinking that, as most of our members are still student or parents
with school going children and some or teachers that it must be possible to
open a small Ubuntu stand during the open-deur dagen in your or your
children's schools. Maybe that is something that you should inject as an
agenda point in the different school committees such as the ouderraad .
Organizers of such a stand would be logistically supported by the events
team with material and eventually manpower. With over 400 'steunpunten' if a
mere 10% joins the project, we have approx. 40 extra representations.


Studenten en/of ouders van studenten of onderwijzend personneel kan
eventueel gebruik maken van de 'open-deur' dagen om er een Ubuntu stand op
te zetten. Support zou dezelfde zijn als deze voor een stand op een dipro
fair.

Des étudiants, leur parents ou des instituteurs pourraient profiter des
journées portes-ouvertes pour y placer un Ubuntu-stand. Le soutien logistic
serait le mêmem que pour les fairs dipro.
