Re: [Ubuntu-be] where to find this in Belgium ? Asus netbook (EEE 1225C) with Ubuntu 12.04
The first priority is to find hardware configurations, in which all components are certainly known to be Linux compatible !

Re: [Ubuntu-be] usb sticks met ubuntu preloaded --- the essential message
( 1 ) UBUNTU USB STICK: An excellent idea and the essential message is === "Ubuntu is free". "Bring your own USB stick and we will provide a free copy, the time of drinking a coffee". === In practice in an exhibition many people do not have an own USB stick at hand and there could be too many demands waiting for copies at the same time. In that case most people will have no problem buying a new pre-loaded key becoming their property and being reusable later. This at a moderate but realistic price and including something for the service of the preparation of the key. Excellent if a bvba propose to manage such a service. Moreover if 100 USB keys need to be ordered at once, I am willing to participate in the investment. A little story: some years ago at the end of an open source conference in Germany a friend was selling a lot of of home-made CD at 5 €uros ! ( 2 ) HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY ISSUES: As it is today, buying equipment is a lottery ! I have several incompatible equipments in my garage and not enough time nor experience to try to seek exotic drivers. All vendors I could ask, do not want to say anything about Ubuntu and do not even accept a test with an Ubuntu stick. I see a critical need for shops where the proposed hardware have been tested about Ubuntu compatibility. This at normal market price, the added value being here to avoid the risk to have to throw away unusable equipments. ( 3 ) LEGAL STATUS ? --- I see the need of 2 types of organizations having different roles: ( 3.A ) A not for profit association: A more visible status for the volunteers currently promoting Ubuntu in Belgium. If possible on a broader scale, as a participation in an international non profit association. Have a look at IVZW or AISBL, e.i. an extension of the Belgian law providing more flexibility for international associations, the members do not need to have the Belgian nationality. Basic requirements are limited to a postal address in Belgium and a yearly report showing that the activities are indeed non profit. ( 3.B ) Commercial services support: Management of equipment distribution and paid support services.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] FOSDEM on February 24/25
( 1 ) e-ID reader: Very good. I will come to the booth in order to learn how to install e-ID. I will bring a laptop already installed with KUBUNTU Edgy and and a "ACR38U" on USB. I would also like to install a "ACR91 PCMCIA Smart Card Reader/Writer ". ( 2 ) " hardware that we can do a clean install on " : I could bring another laptop which is new and where all data are copies which may be deleted. Everything may be formatted again. ( Centrino pentium 1.73 GHz, 2 GB RAM, ATI Radeon X600, assembled by LDLC and delivered without any OS. ) Up to now it is currently just partioned with "gparted" and installed with "KUBUNTU Edgy ". I would like to get it back in the same configuration after the congress. The problems are that I am not at all an expert about installations and that I could not stay all the day at the booth, because I would very much like to go to several conferences during the FOSDEM, particularly to the PYTHON track.
