Council, with the help of gadeynebram.

2. Promotion
  a. Adding (commercial and non-commercial) links to the website
See detail/draft in the wiki 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Website/Commercial_links-draft. JanC 
is working for an email address "contact op ubuntu-be.org", as single point 
of entry/contact.
As soon as the address is ready and tested, information and procedure 
will be posted in the mailing list and can be relayed through personal 
contacts to interested companies/organizations, hopefully within a few 
days.

  b. t-shirts for Ubuntu-be (warddr is leading the project, but not 
present)
For design proposals, see 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsT-shirts 
. A new design (v8) has been added, based on the one presented in 
Ubuntu-Nl forum, but respecting the logo-guidelines.

Participants to the meeting vote for 3 best designs as follow: 3 votes 
for v4be,   2 votes for v2, v6be, v7be-black and v7be-white,   and 1 
vote for v1, v3, v5 (with a minor change) and v8.  Remark is made that 
printing on the sleeve might be expensive. As not enough 
participants/votes, *_additional vote is asked through the mailing 
list_*, before 29/09/2010 at 12.00 hr.
During the next IRC meeting on 29/09, we will examine the pre-selection 
and decide wich design will be used for the t-shirts.
We should start with 100 t-shirts (as previously agreed), and with 
pre-sale action (when final design is decided). Procedure? Through a 
wiki page or email to a coordinator, but no pre-payement. Special 
pre-sale price can include eventual porto-cost and be lower than the 
normal sale price. No further information from warddr about this issue.

  c. Ubuntu and Facebook ?
An Ubuntu-be Facebook page exists : we should agree with the owner of 
the page about its administration. Clamam is taking contact with the 
creator.
We need a team of interested people to ensure a “animated” page about 
our activities. Clamam leads the Facebook-team in charge of the page. 
The main task of the Facebook-team is Ubuntu-be internal coordination 
and animation of the page, including information about our activities. 
People interested in cooperating on this Facebook issue will be welcome 
in the team : please apply through IRC meeting or mailing list. 
gadeynebram joins the Facebook-team.

  d. Ubuntu and Education
A lot of things are related to Education : contacts with PCVO's, 
promotion in schools, "Introductiesessie", "buurthuizen", what can we 
propose to schools ?, “ICTpraktijkdag”.
As already stated, we need an “Education-team” : expertise in Ubuntu-be 
exists, but someone should take initiative to start a discussion group 
(what can be done in this matter ?). gadeynebram and ILUsion are willing 
to help (as students).
It is suggested to organize evening lessons, but with a lot of 
questions, which public is targeted?, what?, when?, how?, who?, ... Are 
people asking for such lessons?
Another possibility is to organize locally small 
install/release/information/discover parties.

3. Update Wiki Belgian Team - Promotion material
Availibility of material (posters, flyers, ...) is listed in 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial and should be 
updated by who has promotion material available for Ubuntu-be.
A list of the available promotion material (presentations, banner, 
flyers, ...) can be found in Par. 5 of the wiki page 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs , but it is not so 
easy to find it!
Suggestions:
- the list of the available promotion material should be moved in a 
separate page, linked to the Par. Material fo the Wiki Belgian Team home 
page,
- a link to this page "Promotion material" should be included in 
Ubuntu-be.org home page,
- the structure of the wiki should be reviewed for an easier access to 
information.
Maybe a special meeting is needed for updating the site & wiki? In 
preparation for future meeting (specific or weekly), suggestions and 
comments can be sent through the mailing list.

4. Support points map status
The map has been replaced by a list of support points which renewed 
their commitments. But not everyone did it: it is easy to do it through 
login on the website, >create content >supporter profile. mongolito404 
is working further on this issue. There was a wrong link in a message he 
sent to support points for renewal of commitment. Hopefully the problem 
will be solved within a few days.

5. Things living in the mailing list and others questions ?
  a. For information, 1 newcomer in the Belgian Local Community Team 
last week: sbpir92i (16/09), no further information.

  b.  Belgian Team monthly report : we still need someone taking the 
lead for monthly reporting. The aim is to inform Ubuntu community about 
our activity - see 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamReporting . As we started 
again activities in September, we have things to report. JanC will look 
into making a team report. Who is volunteer to assist Jan in this matter ?

6. Next IRC meeting on Wednesday 29/09/2010 at 21.00 hr.
