Hello All,

I can tell you from last year that I had a great time there. Food was 
good, and the atmosphere was great!

I think this is a great time to put some new life in ubuntu-be, as it 
has been very silent lately.

If some of the participants would like to get to know Antwerp before the 
braai I can always give you a tour around Antwerp. I'm not a guide, but 
I study in Antwerp for 3 years now so I can show you the tourist things 
like The Central Station, the "boerentoren", the cathedral, the MAS 
(Museam aan de Stroom), ...
I can also try, if anyone is interested in that, to find someone to open 
up the hackerspace (we don't have enough keys / alarm codes to give one 
to every member) in Antwerp around noon, and give you a tour there. We 
have a lot of Linux systems running there, and there's a giant tux 
somewhere.

If you don't like my ideas no problem, I'm just trying to think about 
how to give you an entire day of fun in a beautiful city, Antwerp :D

Summertime, and the living is easy...

Most of us probably remember what braai means.
For the new ones amongst us, a braai is a barbecue. Except that a barbecue
is for ignorant Americans or Australians.
Braai is doing it properly, like proper South Africans. I am half South
African (actually got a passport the other day).

Last year we had loads of fun.
Last year's report can be found here:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/BelgianTeam/SocialEvents/Braai

I have a suggestion:
we can use the opportunity to have a IRL meeting beforehand. Council
members, what do you think?
We could coordinate some new ideas, and perhaps refresh or shuffle the
Council.

I therefore made up a Doodle where you can do two things at once: choose a
date, and say if you'd like to attend an IRL meeting beforehand.

here's the link: http://www.doodle.com/ga4hbghzni4m3mgx
If you like the braai but have no interest in the meeting, just select the
'braai at 18h' only.

Of course, we can discuss the idea via this mailing list as well. If the

Random Hacks of Kindness Hackathon in Belgium,2/3 June 2012

2012-05-07T19:53:21

Hi all,

we are organising the 2nd RHoK Hackathon on 2-3 June in Belgium. The
location is this time in Kontich, near Antwerp, Gent and Brussels.

The mission of the global RHoK movement is to make the world a better
place through a global community of innovation developing practical open
technology. Hacking for Humanity, so to speak. RHoK is unique in the
space of “apps competitions”, “hackathons” and “technology for social
good”. RHoK’s model is to start from identifying, defining and refining
problem definitions provided by subject matter experts and local
stakeholders. This ensures that volunteer time is focused on solving
real problems for real people.

This will be the 5th event in general, happening at the same time in 35
cities around the world, live streamed and ... great fun!

Everybody is welcome, programmers as well as designers, creative people
and brain stormers. During the event we speak a mix of 4 languages:
French, Dutch, English and a bit of German (yes, we have participants

Hello all, where are we with this idea?

I think I have an interesting offer from a supplier to help get 'Ubuntu' USB
alloy cards to the LoCo teams at competitive prices. What I need is an up to
date design that we have them print on the cards. The idea is that LoCo
teams can order in quantities of 50, evaluate the situation after a period
of time and if it turns out to be working, finalize on price and how to
cooperate.

Feedback anyone, please?

I went by the 'kringwinkel' in Bree to verify. I was explained that I had to
check in Maasmechelen. I called them and was told they don't get any 'used
computers'. Indeed I didn't see any computers in the store in Bree. I guess
it is outside of their area of interest.

Beste Dirk,

Er is redelijk veel nederlandstalige support, al gebeurt de
nederlandstalige support bij ubuntu-nl. Zij hebben een mailinglist die
niet zo veel wordt gebruikt, maar hun forum is wel zeer actief:
forum.ubuntu-nl.org
Het is ook ubuntu-nl dat zich met de vertalingen bezig houdt, en die
zijn redelijk in orde.

Als je graag programmeert en zo kan het wel handig zijn om ubuntu in
het engels te installeren (dan kan je nog altijd terrecht op de
nederlandstalige fora), omdat je dan gemakkelijker de foutberichten
kan googelen en zo.

Het is trouwens ook heel gemakkelijk om de taal na de installatie nog
aan te passen, je kan zelfs voor iedere gebruiker een andere taal
instellen, ...

Ubuntu-be (deze mailinglist) is vooral voor promotie van ubuntu in
België. Meestal spreken we hier ook Engels om de frans- en
duitstaligen op deze lijst mee te laten volgen.

Hallo Ubuntu-be,

Ik ben Dirk uit Staden en ben nieuw op deze lijst.

Ik ben nieuw met Ubuntu maar heb een beetje ervaring met Debian,
als gebruiker dan wel te verstaan.

Is er veel verkeer in het Nederlands? Of is het beter om terug te  
schakelen
naar het Engels. Ik weet niet welke taal ik het beste kon instellen.
Engels is wel geen probleem voor mij.

Grtz, Dirk.

Jurgen,

Thanks for your reaction and comment.
I would like to know how the council is communicating towards members 
(which are not permanently in the IRC channel) ?
What is the task description of the council constituted after the 
25/04/2011 meeting and commented in the 2012 Re-Approval application ?

Re: BelgianTeam - Monthly Report

Jurgen Gaeremyn — 2012-04-15T11:17:12

Hi Jean,

your mail looks like a good one to reply to, to offer feedback about the 
meeting we had with the Ubuntu-be council. We discussed this topic on 
March 1st - all 4 members of the council were present.

This was the consensus we could agree on:

What to expect if you're a council member?
1. having been involved in ubuntu-be for some time
2. promise to stay involved for as long as you are a council member
3. promise to try to be a good example inside ubuntu-be
4. be fair and have ubuntu-be's future in mind in case of conflict
    resolution.
5. make sure we don't spend more money than we have

I know we had more ambitious ideas on the IRL meeting at my place - but 
now it seems the opinion has changed in the minds of the members. 
Basically it boils down to: empower the initiatives that happen.

Important words that are missing in the consensus are: coördinate, 
invite, contact point, official body, maintain, organize, set objectives.

I'm fully aware that this might sound rather frustrating and won'
