Hi stefan73,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your mail.<br>
<br>
Please have a look at the wiki page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Education">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Education</a> and feel free to add
your information: <br>
<br>
Section 1 is about our activities (as Ubuntu-be) in schools;<br>
Section 2 about material could involve the tools you are
mentionning;<br>
Section 3 about courses could includes schools that organise these
courses and companies who provide Ubuntu/Linux training.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

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>

<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 moz-do-not-send="true" 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>
