https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fosdem/2011
            * Fosdem is a great "party" where a lot of people, from in and
out Europe, who are in to Open Source Software meet. It's great fun,
everybody should go.
            * The request for info about a stand was just send out. We
shouldn't wait to long to answer that request.
            * We work together with Ubuntu-fr for this, we might want to
contact them

== Promotion ==
    - FOSDEM Promo Stuff
            * Last year we sold a lot, almost all (100) shirts were gone
and we sold all of the Linux/Tux chocolates.
            * What to sell this year?
            * Tshirts
            * Tux Chocolates (can we personalize the package? COF logo
would be nice) http://belfine.com/en/products/index.asp?t=3&sg=KERST&hg=Reep
            * USB sticks?
            * Other ideas are still welcome, please provide them!
            *
            * We should ask Ubuntu-fr to see what they are selling

    - Tshirts (1): The current ones
            * The link to buy shirts isn't working
            * woutervddn fixes the Tshirt buy thingy before the 6th of
December.
            * hans_ is responisible for making woutervddn do that if he
forgets.

    - Tshirts (2): New ones?
            * We might ask for new proposal designs on the shirts and then
organize a poll to see if the old design is still in favor.
            * Benefits of a new shirt is that people who already bought one
can buy a completely other one this year.
            * Benefits of the old design is that a lot of people seem to
love it.
            * What does the rest of the ML think of this?
            * Everybody is free to design a new concept, please do and
submit to this ML, on the Wiki. (a wiki page has te be created though)
            * We might also ask OSP if they'd like to design us something.
            * More info on OSP here: http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/

== Website & Wiki ==

    - Survey
            * In order to have a better idea how people use Ubuntu, where
they found out,.. We're going to launch a Survey.
            * We'll test it at the Dipro fair in Genk.
            * Claudio provided the questions for this.
            * woutervddn is already working on another survey so he'll
customize the theme for Ubuntu-be and will upload it this week.
