Re: [Ubuntu-be] reminder: language use
Hello Le lundi 25 février 2008 09:03, Thijs Braem a écrit : I would agree on the fact that is's a bit weird and contrary to the 'ubuntu spirit' that everything seems to be happening mostly in dutch only. Well, till now, the fact is most of the activity seems to be happening in the Dutch-speaking area. And in this case, people were often kind enough to begin with a statement in English saying the message was about an event in Flanders, so they would go on in Dutch. I really don't know what the best solution is, but there should be a balance between efforts and optimal spread of information. So 3 things worth mentioning : * for non-geeks like me, ubuntu-be mailing-list and Fosdem are the only meeting points for Dutch- and French-speaking people concerned with FOSS. This is precious! But Fosdem being an international event, their use of English is no argument in our case. * this mailing-list is also an opportunity for readers to read French and Dutch messages. No kidding : you want to know what is said because you are interested, so you make the effort; that is why I choose the off-topic example of Regionet Limburg. I am too lazy/busy to go back to school, so ubuntu-be is now my Dutch teatcher ;-). The fact it is written also makes things easier by reducing the requested efforts : when I went to the Colony BBQ in Heverlee, people like Amedee, Christophe, Mark, Tille.. were kind enough to try to speak English and even French for me but you can't ask 30 people not to speak Dutch just because of 1 person. The balance again... I just have to improve my pathetic spoken Dutch and/or get more Walloons to join me, period. * better an information in Dutch or French than no information in English.

[Ubuntu-be] Fosdem 2008
Good evening I don't know if Ubuntu is the most used Linux distro, if I should improve my Dutch (#) to read most of the messages here, if there will be a tram in Liege (#) or if God exists, but the fact is free software has got media attention tonight : I just saw images from Fosdem (with an interview of Christophe Vandeplas (##)) at RTBF evening news. A bit strange indeed : no mention of the words Linux, Ubuntu, or even... Fosdem! No mention of OLPC project when showing them (so most people probably understood it was just another low cost laptop). But at least, they insist on the alternative to Windows, and Christophe mentioned Firefox and Gimp.. Enjoy your Fosdem! (#) Off-topic P.S. : Well, I *should* improve it, of course. Apart from the arguments given by Koen, it would also be easier for me to read this : http://www.humanhub.nl/Regionet_Limburg.pdf (http://www.humanhub.nl/Regionet_Limburg.html) If some people out Limburg could tell me in private what is happening now with this project, I would be very interested.

[Ubuntu-be] GRP in Liege
Hello Some feedback about the Gutsy Install Party in Liege last Saturday : * Bawet had prepared a local ubuntu mirror and some scripts, to be able to manage a lot of installations with few volunteers. Leaving aside the pro/con compared to the use of a proxy, at least it works and they will re-use it, especially for LIPs where internet access is an issue. * very few visitors, 2 or 3 ubuntu installations. Those visitors seem to be Bawet related people. * nobody for a demo, so I didn't make the speech I had more or less prepared due to the lack of other volunteer. * 4 volunteers from Bawet, 4 volunteers (they had nothing to do) from LiLiT (including me), nobody from ubuntu-be. Conclusions : * obviously, the Train Action advertising was unefficient, maybe because you cannot get students on Saturday, as Laurent Sibilla said. * compared to what has been reported here about other GRP (congratulations to Hasselt people!!), the Liege branch of ubuntu-be has a problem... (or is it just my feeling? Anyway, I don't feel concerned anymore).

Re: [Ubuntu-be] GRP in Liege
(I kept most of Pierre's message for LiLiT commitee members in CC, so sorry for the long email but don't worry : after that, I'm starting to hibernate ;-) Le lundi 29 octobre 2007 13:28, Pierre Vorhagen a écrit : (...) the Liege branch of ubuntu-be has a problem... Yes, the Liège branch has a problem I'd say... in so far that there are not enough (are there any?) people actually *from* Liège (...) snulkid (you consider yourself part of ubuntu-be? No The problem is, I think, that there is nothing central... the LUG is dying out, or at least not so very active I understood (on the internet site it is still written that the next LMP is the 4th of October... we wanted maybe to come again with Yorrit), there are other organizations that are all more or less trying to do their thing (like Bawet or N-Hitec (the engineers tend to install Linux on their machines by themselves, without even knowing that Lilit or ubuntu-be exist)) and then there is ubuntu-be, that is not really very active, and probably rather non-existent... As the most active group is still LiLiT, maybe start off from there. It is what we had in mind with Yorrit... getting more students to LiLiT, based on Ubuntu of course. We were pretty surprised to see that the average age was about 20 years more than ours, considering that LiLiT is an official student circle... We will come to the next LMP, don't know when, and I propose that we discuss this then, with all Liège located ubuntu-be members and LiLiT... Else, if a closer collaboration is not really wished or possible, all ubuntu-be members can meet in a café somewhere in Liège (the Shamrock on top off Rue St Gilles for example, that guy is on Xubuntu and Ubuntu and also regretted that there isn't more activity on Liège.). I don't really care how we do this (if it is with LiLiT, fine for me), but if we had some active people that actually are from Liège and live there, it would still be possible to have an active ubuntu-be branch. Pierre, I'm quite confused that an opinion about ubuntu-be leads to comments about LiLiT (and Bawet) but, to make things clear, here are a few points : * first a personal one : for internal reasons I will not comment, I'm currently leaving the LiLiT commitee, and will probably also stop most of my FLOSS-related activities (so, Mark, sorry but I won't attend your winter meeting..). I also won't attend this week LiLiT Linux Meeting Party but anybody is welcome, of course : http://www.lilit.be/index.php?page=contact#LMP * LiLiT website was just out of date. I just updated it. LiLiT is certainly not dying out, at least compared to most other LUGs, and even if they currently lack people, Bawet is regurlarly organising LIPs, in alternance with LiLiT (who will maybe organise another one before end of 2007). Just have a look at our old news : http://www.lilit.be/index.php?page=archives activity reports : http://www.lilit.be/wiki/index.php?header=fullpage=PvAgOr050420#Annexe1%3Arapportdactivit%E9s2004 http://www.lilit.be/wiki/index.php?header=fullpage=PvAgOr060308#Annexe1%3Arapportdactivit%E9s2005 http://www.lilit.be/wiki/index.php?header=fullpage=PvAgOr070308#Annexe1%3Arapportdactivit%E9s2006 and our (rather incomplete) photo galleries to get an idea of what we did. * about the canceled Ubuntu/N-Hitec Party : if someone is to be blamed on the LiLiT side, this is me because I should have re-contacted Laurent earlier (we met at LiLiT LIP on July 7th) and be more careful about the LIP : it surreptitiously moved from a N-Hitec LIP with LiLiT support to a LiLiT-in-charge-of-it LIP. On October 18th, LiLiT had a meeting, where people said once again there were unavailable on a working day; our president also inform Laurent had set an appointment with him next Monday. This was just before Laurent canceled the event. So, you can blame N-Hitec, ubuntu-be local members, maybe the ULg bureaucracy, maybe me, but not LiLiT. * it has always been clear that LiLiT (or Bawet) is not going to give support to engineers or other professionals : we cannot do that (not even invoice something), given our statutes. N-Hitec can, I guess. * LiLiT is an ULg circle for historical reasons. Right now, among our 26 members, we have 2 ULg students and 3 ULg workers. We would be glad you get us more students, even based on Ubuntu of course (we are distro-neutral). But first, LiLiT is not involved in (or part of) ubuntu-be and second, we made several attemps in the past years (October 25th would have been a new one) to target the students without any real success. We also had contacts with other circles (Fédé staff, AEES). So, any collaboration can be discussed with the LiLiT committee (g-traxx mentioned a school-related action...) but don't expect an overwhelming enthousiasm after so many trials. * LiLiT is well structured (see http://www.lilit.be/index.php?page=asbl).

Hello Alexandre Laurent is now the candidate (...) I have no objections (and don't feel entitled to vote anyway) but could you show us what Alexandre looks like (some Fosdem pic ?) ?

[Ubuntu-be] Custom CDs
Hi all My LUG LiLiT was yesterday in Awans (Liege suburbs) for an Install Party opening the local Fête de l'Internet. So there are now a few more human beings running Ubuntu (or Mandriva 2007 ;-). Speaking with not-so-computer-literate-people, it really appears that zero effort is a key to success for these people to migrate to GNU/Linux. Of course, Ubuntu is great ((TM) ploum) for this purpose, especially with the new live+install desktop CD; we tell them to come to Install Parties, and to come again if they have a problem. But it is not enough, especially if we want these people to spread the word (and the CD) to their friends. Some thoughts : * we cannot be sure they can get internet access when using or install the CD. Sometimes they just don't have internet at all (too expensive, already available at work, etc.), or it is reserved to their main computer (running Windows), or they have some problematic usb modem. * many people (especially Walloons, as you know ;-) cannot deal with a language other than their mother tongue. The fact that Ubuntu can be installed in dozens of different languages with the same CD is useless for them. We even got a complaint from someone who got the ubuntu CD and then was told that french packages were not included. * perception of what is a problem is very subjective. For example, I am very concerned that people could mess up their Windows with an install CD. But so far, we never get such complaints. The usual complaint is it doesn't work or Explanations given on the internet are too complicated or did not work for me. My present feeling is : people admit computer problems when they have been warmed, but if they get lost without understandable reason, they will give up and go back to Windows. So opening a dialog box with a clear explanation could be more useful than giving (or, at least, only giving) a link to an howto page that 90% of these people won't use anyway.. * when opened under Windows, the desktop CD offers to install some free softwares for Windows. Great... but in English :-( So you guess it, this leads me to ask for customized CDs again. Maybe I am wrong and probably I/we can make bad choices, so : * I tried to find a way for a stupid newbie like me to make custom CDs. On https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6.06 I found a comment about UCK : http://uck.sourceforge.net/ https://launchpad.net/uck/ who looks dead simple according to : http://uck.sourceforge.net/screenshots There was an article laudating Ubuntu in February issue of Linux magazine US, where they mention Reconstructor : http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ What do you think of these solutions ? * if ubuntu-be goes this way, I think custom CDs should be *tested* on computer-illiterate people because burning or pressing them in great quantities : what they don't understand, what they don't find, what is missing, etc. I think it is far more important than having the CD available for some deadline. Testing should include installing on Windows and empty computers as well. Question : is such testing already made for the standard ubuntu CDs ? * people should be welcomed and informed in their language. Even if they are not connected, they should find information about ubuntu-be, LUGs, and even friendly computer stores or cyberspaces.
