possible in contact with other organizations.
Already scheduled on 03/03/2011: presentation (2 sessions) of Ubuntu in 
the public library - Ostend.
Other locations ?

2. Promotion
  a. t-shirts for Ubuntu-be - Update
woutervddn and gadeynebram are working on the topic. It appears that the 
model v9 (choosen by poll) is more expensive and has a difficult design 
(COF on the side). A last poll limited to less expensive designs will be 
organized by woutervddn. When final decision is taken, 100 t-shirts will 
be ordered and pre-orders will be possible. Suggestion of sizes : 5S, 
20M, 30L, 20XL, 10XXL and 15 girlieshirts. Goal is still that the 
t-shirts are available for the FOSDEM 2011.
Later, a second order with an improved design can be proposed.

  b. Ubuntu promotion material for fairs/events
   - A few stickers “Powered by Ubuntu” should be available in Events 
boxes and in booths/events.
   - Are there other stickers or other material available by Canonical 
or others ?
   - JanC has received a table cloth and a banner from Canonical and the 
conference pack he ordered.
   - An Ubuntu-calendar 2011 (box 12 sides in do it yoursef) exists in 
Spanish and French:
  http://spreadubuntu.org/es/material/unusual/calendario-ubuntu-ubuntu-calendar
  http://spreadubuntu.org/fr/material/unusual/calendrier-ubuntu-ubuntu-calendar
It should be easy to translate the calendar (svg-file). Colours could be 
modified (ink-friendly-printed at home). To be printed on 160 g. 
(eventually coloured) paper. woutervddn will try. Other volunteers ?
   - Flyers Ubuntu-be A6 (2009): our stock will be empty in june 2011. 
Are there ideas for a new design ?

3. Update Wiki : nothing to report

4. Update Website Belgian Team
  a. From mongolito404, no news regarding the map, but he fixed 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-belgium/+bug/684443 for the website. 
He remind everyone interested that a) he is available to mentor any work 
on the website, just ask. b) we can still open a ML for webeditors if we 
feel there is a need (He is starting to think there is actually a huge 
need for this, to encourage peopele to mail). Next meeting will start 
with Wiki and Website !
  b. woutervddn suggests to add on the web-site a link to Ubuntu-be 
Facebook page. Idem for identi.ca
