[Ubuntu-be] Wiki update of the 9th of march.

Sat Mar 19 22:29:30 UTC 2011

Hi stefan73,

Thanks for your mail.

Please have a look at the wiki page 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Education and feel free to add your 
information:

Section 1 is about our activities (as Ubuntu-be) in schools;
Section 2 about material could involve the tools you are mentionning;
Section 3 about courses could includes schools that organise these 
courses and companies who provide Ubuntu/Linux training.

If you can provide enough information (including updates) about 
"overview of places where ... educate yourself", we could add a 4th 
Section. But I am not sure about the need of it as the information is 
likely already available in Ubuntu-nl and Ubuntu-fr.

Regards

>> • A little guidance text was written for the BelgianTeam/Approval
>> • We made clear that the ML is not a help or press desk, but a page 
>> dedicated to support can be found on the website (link added aswel)
>> • For people comming on the BelgianTeam/PastMeetings true a

>> added a link to BelgianTeam/IrcMeetings
>> • We added a bunch of links to the german LoCo team (and

>> • We made the support-point-manual on the website available on the 
>> wiki homepage. This link comes instead of the initial

>>
>> = Remarks =

>> (IE take out who's not longer active etc.)
>> • BelgianTeam/TeamOrganization is a sandbox for what U-be should

>> • Please do not use placeholders, if a page needs to be created in

>> • We've got a guide for the addition of links on the website. does it

>> • The BelgianTeam/PressCoverage should be updated, latest entry is of

>> Remaining this page as an open/running page with no new entries makes

>> • The belgianTeam/PressReleases is a great page but with only 1

>> • Also, can someone please tell me why the title tags "= some title

>> • As for the Education page it also depents on someone who maintains

>> use of this page is. Clarification needed.
>> • Once again, same thing for the BelgianTeam/LocalizedCD. I believe 
>> we suggested in january to wait until after Fosdem to continue

>> • Big kudos to Jean as all the pages that he looks after are a good 
>> example of how to keep a wiki up to date. I do agree that it costs

>> Nevertheless I think that if we give a bunch of people some kind of

>> • Events other then the dipro fairs need a fix plot. Just as 
>> DigitalWeek, Software Freedom Day and Fosdem it is suggested to add 
>> events who happen anually on this plot: BelgianTeam/NameOfEvent/Year
>> • We've got a double in the promotion material! To get more structure

>> BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs to BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Promotion. A

>> • The BelgianTeam/OSLessLaptopShops is a page that should be

>> • We made the support-point-manual on the website available on the 
>> wiki homepage. This link comes instead of the initial 
>> support-point-manual on the wiki. That page is added to the legacy

>> • We should try to define the use of the website and the wiki beter.

>> • What do e do with the FutureEvents page? Do we ditch it or what? 
>> Jean allready added the note that people need to put links on the

>>
>> = Still to do (before the possible restructure of U-be) =
>> • add the links do the legacy pages
>> • map the "lost" pages
>> • add a link of the lates PCmagazine article about Ubuntu to

>> • Place a link to the ubuntu-de wiki. right links can be found at

>> New shirts are ordered!
