2. Promotion
  a. t-shirts - Update
As the left-over stock will be moved to Antwerp Hobby and computersdays, 
Wouter is ready to order another 100 t-shirts. The already 26 ordered in 
pre-sale will be sent later.

  b. Other goodies (mugs, bags, pens, ... )
It was suggested to look for other Ubuntu-goodies: warddr will lead the 
project, with woutervddn helping.
A wiki page 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsGoodies2011 
is open for designs and details.

  c. Ubuntu promotion material for fairs/events :
- Flyers Ubuntu-be a6 (2011)
Please look at  
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsFlyers2011 and 
add your proposals/comments in the mailing list and in the wiki page.  
It is important that you express your meaning regarding stuff like this. 
Deadline for the project: 01 June 2011.

- Rollups to improve our booths: which design?  First proposals are in 
the wiki page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsRollup2011
Feel free to add proposals/designs/comments in the mailing list and 
wiki: which design? international? (better for FOSDEM), national? (can 
be use everywhere in Belgium), 1 language? (regional use or contact with 
other LoCo teams?)
Suggested deadline for a good design: 01 April 2011.
If we find sponsors, a (small) place in the picture could be dedicaced 
to sponsors.
A question about availability of rollups and other promotion material 
from Canonical (free or cheap) is sent the LoCo-teams Council agenda for 
the next meeting (15/03). But such a solution will take months (8 months 
for Ubuntu-banner).

3. Update Wiki and Web-site
  a. Wiki
- during the meeting last Tuesday (15/02), it was started with going 
true the whole wiki first, making a BelgianTeam/Legacy page for all the 
content from before 2010 (not yet with links), and an overview of what 
was done is added at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/2011/FebruaryWikiCleanup. Further 
information via the mailing list.

- A link “where to buy a laptop without MS Windows “ (to an outdated 
page) has been added to the home page 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam (see Material). This page needs to 
be updated (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/OsLessLaptopShops). 
When updated, we might put that page inside ubuntu-be.org website.

  b. Web-site
- A contact-form is included in the web-site, as a way to contact 
ubuntu-be (not for technical support),  see ”contact us” on the 
website.  Questions are forwarded to the contact-group or to the press 
contacts, according the category.
It is suggested to add the IRC channel (or chat) in the "contact-form" 
as a possibility to contact ubuntu-be members (in general) about various 
questions, coordination and organization of events.
Remark: the contact-group (see 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Website/Commercial_links) will act 
as coordination-team.  A task description will be worked on and added in 
the wiki, when agreed.

- Last week we pointed out that we need a page promoting our 
actions/events in the web-site. The aim is to show what we do, hoping 
that new volunteers will join. No proposals yet. It is suggested to 
promote our work/hobby on Facebook, in the wiki and web-site.

4. Other questions
Nothing to report.

5. Next IRC meeting on Thursday 24/02/2011 at 21.00 hr.
