Hi Julien, Feel free to contact them about it. I think it's a excellent idea!

About a year ago, they made an article about Ubuntu. They used to be contacted by Ben Sion Could be interesting to keep the contact.

[Ubuntu-be] ReleaseActions - Train station actions 21/10/07
Hi everybody, I'm playing around with the following idea: Ubuntu needs to gain more visibility in Belgium. And it's important that people hear a couple of time of Ubuntu before they actually try it. Therefore, the 6 mouth release is ideal to do a larger scale action around Ubuntu. I'm proposing the following Train station actions : During the Sunday evening there is a massive flow of students that pass through the train stations of Belgian student city's. It wouldn't be a big effort to do an action there, compared to the number of people we can reach. Eg. A train coming from Brussels to Leuven contains more than 600 students. The idea would be to (1) come with a projector, and project a presentation or a ubuntu desktop on a wall or screen at the exit. (2) Flyer at the exit of the train station. But if you have other idea's; please say! I'm proposing myself to coordinating this for Leuven, but I would welcome everybody to do the same for other city's like Ghent, Brussels, ... I created a wiki page, feel free to add your name and ideas! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ReleaseActions Can someone post this on the forums? Thanks!

Re: [Ubuntu-be] ReleaseActions - Train station actions 21/10/07
Great! The projector thing is a nice fantasy, but if it doesn't work, you can always just redistribute flyers, that's also important. François PS. I added Liège to the wiki page, can I add your name? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ReleaseActions Op zondag 23-09-2007 om 15:36 uur [tijdzone +0200], schreef Pierre Vorhagen: Hi, I am student in Liège and willing to help! But I really don't know if it will be possible setting up a projector on the construction site that is the Guillemins train station :) Finding an agreemennt with the TEC can be a good option though, as most (all?) people leaving the station go past the bus station too... Anyways, trying to reach the students is a good idea. Pierre 2007/9/23, snulkid [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Le dimanche 23 septembre 2007 12:17, François Cauwe a écrit: Leuven contains more than 600 students. The idea would be to (1) come with a projector, and project a presentation or a ubuntu desktop on a wall or screen at the exit. The new Liège Guillemins underground is full of space and wonderful (sort of JFK airport TWA terminal...) but you'll have to wait 1 more year or 2 to get access to it ;-)) Do you need a authorisation to redistribute flyers on the public road? I think you have to write in on it Niet op de openbare weg gooien. (Don't throw on the public road). For the Fête de l'internet 2005, our LUG wanted to get max. visibility by using a room or booth in the very center of Liege (place Cathédrale : see http://lilit.be/photos.php?gal=fete-internet). It turned out to be an administrative nightmare : you have to ask (and maybe to pay taxes) to the City council, with a 3 months delay(!), to be allowed to have a booth, to distribute flyers, to be clothed as a pinguin, to put advertising posters on a window facing the street, to put a network cable passing even a pedestrian street, etc. Finally, we made an agreement with the Médiathèque asbl and the TEC (to use their bus stop) because they already had the needed authorisations. So, as Cédric said and even if things cannot be worse than in Liege, be careful !

Re: [Ubuntu-be] ReleaseActions - Train station actions 21/10/07
I just added myself. I never participated in an ubuntu-be event though, so if someone else from Liège with more experience (organising material, flyers, posters, tshirts, etc...) is free that afternoon I'd be happy :) By the way... how does this work with the flyers?

Re: [Ubuntu-be] ReleaseActions - Train station actions 21/10/07
Crossed mails there!! snulkid I joined the lilit mailing list a few days ago and wanted to go meet you at l'élysée on thursday 4th to (maybe) join LiLiT. So hello in advance :) Concerning the ubuntu day at Ulg, I'll be there of course and help, But I only have courses at the Sart Tilman on Thursday, I'm rue Louvrex the rest of the week (Ingénieur de gestion à HEC) Contact me, I go back to Liège this evening, we can meet an evening during the week if you want, I kot rue Louvrex (Saint Gilles side) Pierre 2007/9/23, snulkid [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Le dimanche 23 septembre 2007 15:36, Pierre Vorhagen a écrit: I am student in Liège and willing to help! Received loud and clear ;-) Anyways, trying to reach the students is a good idea. Well, apart from the trains station action, there is an event foreseen for that : the Ubuntu event on ULg campus (see Laurent Sibilla previous mails). LiLiT (Liege LUG) has been asked to be in charge of the LIP part : preparing it (room, servers, computers) is OK and we have members working on the ULg campus. But our members have a big problem being available for a working day event (even on Friday). So, Pierre, could you hunt for volunteers among your fellow students ? Since we don't know the date yet, may I create the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/ReleaseParty/Gutsy/Liege2007 to write things down ? -- snulkid -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com You can find list info and your subscription configuration options at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com You can find list info and your subscription configuration options at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
