  - Wiki: A page has been added in the wiki to prepare this project: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/Website/LinksToAssociations

4. Other questions
  a. Laying some foundations - Ubuntu-be.org needs a structure and an 
organization
Notes about a leading council and its mission statement have been added 
to the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/TeamOrganization.  
The first section of the page is about defining the agenda for the 
meeting planned on 25/04 in Vilvoorde .
If there is an agreement on the need of an organization, the main issue 
will be the creation of a leading council which should be active in 
coordination, support and taking decision when needed in accordance with 
a mission statement. It will only be 1 step forwards, the rest of the 
problems, organization, internal rules and procedures, ...  will follow.
Reactions in the mailing list will be welcome: please participate to 
this brain storming.
Everyone willing to actively participate to this project will be welcome 
at the first meeting.

  b. Membership to the Belgian LoCo team (launchpad): welcome to Bjorn 
Robijns (Aalst) !

5. Next IRC meeting on Thursday 07/04/2011 at 21.00 hr.
