Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium

I think any of the hackerspaces will be willing to accomodate... people living near train stations on our group might too... Possibly I can't be available myself (wife is pregnant and due for June 4th) but I'm pretty sure Hackerspace Brussels (hackerspace.be) would be glad to offer you a chair

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium

Real life meeting should still take preference over virtual meeting, if you ask me. It's not all that hard to organise. Jurgen did it, I did it. They were all successful. Just get to somewhere easily accessible by public transport. Brussels is the best. Antwerp or Ghent might be a good option. O

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium

Hey I'm not alone on the island! :) Tom, you're right I think and I agree. It is not somebody we need, it is us. Also Juergen's proposal for having Ubuntu-be.org and setting clear expectations I agree with, this way we can prevent disappointment from and by others. Carrying Ubuntu-be to th

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium

Ik vermoed dat er in Brugge wel meer zou moeten kunnen dan er nu gebeurt. Onlangs nog bij een 10-tal mensen Ubuntu geïnstalleerd, dus alles kan en ondanks het feit dat ik hier zeker niet in de top 10 (zelfs niet in de top 100) van de posters zit en verre van een Ubuntu techie ben, wil ik eventueel

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium

Hi Jan, come to think of it... maybe the easiest would be to just create a *new* bank account, and start with that one... I think we can get some donations quickly. If Marc then transfers the existing funds to the new account, it might just be easier than doing the transfer. If we do this all

Hi Guys, indeed there should be a budget somewhere, but I have no idea. Mark Vandenborre still is the only one that can access the account. Indeed we tried to have a few IRL meetings, and it was all good, but I have lost the energy to try and organise it. I don't have the skills or expertise to ma

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium

Sinds het wegvallen van de diprobeurs hier in Brugge heb ik zelf geen contact meer met andere Ubunteros in het Brugse. Vraag is, of een IRL samenkomst nog veel mensen aanspreekt of dat ze liever alles online doen. In dat laatste geval zou er iets moeten gedaan worden om onze website wat attractiev

Thanks for your info on this. I've always thought that this certain "somebody" should comprise out of more than one person. One person can't take this on his or her shoulders.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium

Tom, the strongest periods of Ubuntu-be were when one single person actually kept his shoulders under the project. In the past we had a few of these people. Thing is: ubuntu-be.org should set clear expectations: what (not) to expect: a spokesman, the official stance of Ubuntu on whatever Belg

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Ubuntu life in Belgium

I don't know about organizing a funeral just yet. Maybe ubuntu.be could be a commonplace for those using and or discovering ubuntu but more in a fun sort of way. Don't know if i'm saying this right, but i think you get the picture. There doesn't need to be a central person or spokesman imho. Makes

Yeps, I'm one of those "goodbye and good luck" people. I was on the camp for a more structured Ubuntu-be for a long time, but painfully discovered that we were with too little dedicated people and/or too big plans. I am now in the camp of "local groups do great things" and "Ubuntu-be" is actua

[Ubuntu-be] Eventbox Limburg

Hey all it's been a while since I've been active and by the pace this is going, it's not going to change soon. I do however still have about half of the Ubuntu Limburg Eventbox laying around. I'm not sure if there are people still attending events in limburg, but if so: I'd love to get those boxe
