1. Events
  a. Dipro fair Mechelen – 27/03/2011 - report
Fair with less visitors and  some great talks with people.
jurgentje started with his camera, asking some users "why do you use 
ubuntu?" A good idea: with collecting such testimonials, we could make a 
nice video. For the coming events, it is suggested to follow this 
initiative.

Software Community.

include computer clubs offering Linux/Ubuntu support/promotion.

4. Other questions

organization

are already in, feel free to contribute. For who is interested in this 
issue and willing to actively participate, please add in your agenda the
