  e. Monthly report Feb : we need a Fosdem 2011 report in the 
BelgianTeam wiki.

2. Promotion
  a. t-shirts - Update
Wouter is ready to order another 100 t-shirts, he waits the approval of 
the treasurer. It is suggested to put the print a little higher.

  b. Flyers 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. We 
desperately need your ideas.
It is suggested to have flyers and rollout (next item) worked on in 
unison so they align in style.
About design-rules (logos, colors, ...), see 
http://design.canonical.com/brand/

  c. Rollup
Several proposals are in the wiki page 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsRollup2011
Please add your suggestions/comments in the wiki and/or in the mailing list.

  d. Other goodies (mugs, bags, pens, ... )
A wiki page 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial/ProposalsGoodies2011 
is open for designs and details.
Beside the possibility to sale the goodies in Fosdem 2012, Dipro fairs 
and other events, it is possible to set up an online-shop.
Although we can start with projects and designs, we have to examine the 
implications (logistic, legal aspects, tax-office, volunteers, ...), as 
Ubuntu-be has no status and is not authorized to do business. At the 
other hand, are the volunteers for promoting Ubuntu willing to act as 
sellers.
Question to the mailing list: is there interest for goodies (pens, bags, 
mugs, ...) and the sale of goods in events like Fosdem, Dipro fairs, 
release parties, ... ?

3. Update Wiki and Web-site
  - Wiki: links about the review are 
https/https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Index, 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Legacy (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.
A meeting is proposed by Wouter on 09/03. Further information will be 
sent via the mailing list.

- Web-site: in a previous meeting, we pointed out that we need a page 
promoting our actions/events. the aim is to show what we do, hoping that 
new volunteers will join. No new proposals.
- Web-site - Support point manual 
(http://ubuntu-be.org/en/content/513/support-point-manual) : a 
translation of the manual in French is started, but we need a german 
translation – who can  translate the manual in German ? 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-belgium/+bug/718482)

4. Other questions
As we are considering more activities for Ubuntu-be, we should think 
about more structure, legal  and an evolution towards another form of 
association (vzw/asbl). The issue will be discussed later in another 
meeting.

5. Next IRC meeting on Thursday 10/03/2011 at 21.00 hr.
