Hi guys,<br>
<br>
Great work on the update of the wiki! I've got some ideas concerning
the education area. Why not make it a place where people can get
education, can educate themselves and can educate others?<br>
<br>
The first part could be a list of companies who provide Ubuntu/Linux
training, or schools that organise these courses.<br>
The second part could be an overview of places where you can find
valuable information about Ubuntu, such as magazines, websites, free
manuals, ... In short, means to educate yourself.<br>
The third part, well, maybe it could be a summary of tools that can
be used in education in general, such as iTalc, Edubuntu, ... and
maybe not limit it to Ubuntu only, but include some general software
that's handy for education. This way, we could be a valuable
resource for people who want to use Ubuntu (or Linux in general) in
education.<br>
<br>
Just my 2 cents.<br>
<br>
I would be willing to set this up or help setting this up, not that
I've ever used a wiki....<br>

Hi guys<br>
<br>
<br>
I've made a report of what we did yesterday. I kinda forgot to
post a reminder so I guess it's my fault that there was so little
people to help out.<br>
Anyways, we've done quite a lot yesterday and I'd like to thank
jean and jurgen for their efforts! I'll add this report on the
wiki as well.<br>
<br>
We continued the work done the last time. We started from the top
op the homepage and digging deeper and deeper in the wiki. This
enables us to do see which pages are "lost" or without a link.
They will not show up on the homepage nor on the Legacy page.<br>
<br>
<br>
= What we've done =<br>
• Updated the homepage<br>
• Finished BelgianTeam/FacebookTeam<br>
• Removed the Pictures page as it only had 1 photo of Feisty Fawn.
We did note that the pictures can be found on the page of the even
itself. We also strongly recomment the use of the flickrpool. Make
sure to upload all pictures regarding ubuntu-be with the ubuntube
tag.<br>
• A little guidance text was written for the BelgianTeam/Approval<br>
• 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)<br>
• For people comming on the BelgianTeam/PastMeetings true a
searchcomputer it was unclear where to find the new meetings. We
added a link to BelgianTeam/IrcMeetings<br>
• We added a bunch of links to the german LoCo team (and
ubuntuusers.de as they seem to be connected so much)<br>
• 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
section now<br>
<br>
= Remarks =<br>
• There needs to be more active communitaction and decision
making, things go darn slow sometimes and this also results in the
effectiveness of both the wiki as the website<br>
• We need to update the BelgianTeam/Responsibility but we have
tell first how we are going to be organized in the future<br>
• BelgianTeam/Skills is something that should be added to your
profile on Ubuntu-be and not on the wiki. This ain't the place
people are going to look for it. If it are the other members who
can search for certain skills here the page should be maintained
and updated. (IE take out who's not longer active etc.)<br>
• BelgianTeam/TeamOrganization is a sandbox for what U-be should
become. Once we agreed on this the content of it should be
converted to fit the BelgianTeam/Responsibility page.<br>
• Please do not use placeholders, if a page needs to be created in
the future please do it then! Empty pages clutter our wiki!<br>
• We need a team that bundles and works out a path to use ALL our
social networks in a decent way. a simultane notice on identi.ca,
twitter, Orkut and Facebook will strenghten us as we can target
more people in 1 move. There should be a way to add all 4 of them
on a structurized way to the webpage<br>
• We've got a guide for the addition of links on the website. does
it belong under the contact section? How can we attract more
companies to join that page? (in addition how can we work more
closely with companies without giving up our freedom?)<br>
• The BelgianTeam/PressCoverage should be updated, latest entry is
of 2009/10/30. We either need some one (or a group of people) who
update this page, or we need to close it and make it a legacy
page. Remaining this page as an open/running page with no new
entries makes it look like we haven't got a single thing done the
last year and a half.<br>
• The belgianTeam/PressReleases is a great page but with only 1
pressrelease in it there seems to be a problem, again: pointing
someone responsible for this would resolve this.. PressContacts?<br>
• Also, can someone please tell me why the title tags "= some
title =" don't work on this page?<br>
• As for the Education page it also depents on someone who
maintains it. Without any current activities scheduled it is
unclear what the use of this page is. Clarification needed.<br>
• Once again, same thing for the BelgianTeam/LocalizedCD. I
believe we suggested in january to wait until after Fosdem to
continue talking about this.<br>
• 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 jean tons and tons of work to keep it structurized and
updated. Nevertheless I think that if we give a bunch of people
some kind of authority over 1 or 2 sections it would dramatically
improve the wiki.<br>
• 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<br>
• We've got a double in the promotion material! To get more
structure jurgen and I moved the promotion section from
BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs to BelgianTeam/ComputerFairs/Promotion.
A little later we discovered a BelgianTeam/PromotionMaterial. It
is suggest to merge these together, but we where uncertain which
page we should keep in place, ideas?<br>
• The BelgianTeam/OSLessLaptopShops is a page that should be
maintained, jurgen and I are checking those who haven't been
checked since 2006 to see if they are still available. It is to
our believe though that we should try to have a tool like the
supportermap where we can map these companies on our website. If
we could merge this with the commercial_links on the website it
would be nice. (This can wait until the supporter map is finished
at we can try to make this map a spinoff of the supporter map)<br>
• 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
section now<br>
• We should try to define the use of the website and the wiki
beter. A decent integration would benefit us. As jurgen said it:
"The wiki sould be more about a 'knowledge base' and not a 'who
are we'? that should be the ubuntu-be.org site. Although I
understand that it is hard to find a way that our website can be
edited by everyone without putting the whole infrastructure at
risk. But a debat about this can be handy.<br>
• 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
website, not on this page.<br>
<br>
= Still to do (before the possible restructure of U-be) =<br>
• add the links do the legacy pages<br>
• map the "lost" pages<br>
• add a link of the lates PCmagazine article about Ubuntu to
BelgianTeam/PressCoverage<br>
• Translate the commercial links on the website to FR and GE (bug
has to be made)<br>
• Place a link to the ubuntu-de wiki. right links can be found at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-de-locoteam">http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-de-locoteam</a><br>
<br>
= Off topic =<br>
New shirts are ordered!<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
<br>
I suggest to talk about these things on some of the upcomming IRC
meetings. Maybe we can add 1 topic each meeting or postpone some
not-time-critical topics for a week? (Although I believe it's most
important to talk about the structure change first)<br>
<br>
<br>
kind regards<br>
<br>
