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
Belgian activity, guaranteed support, etc...
If someone stands up and is prepared to take leadership, you will
quickly have a core team of somewhere between 5 and 10 or even more if
you do a great job. If you're willing to take up this commitment, you'll
be doing Ubuntu-be a big favour. Problem is, apparently this mythical
figure called "somebody" we're all talking about and who'll do all the
practical stuff like maintain the website, organise event booths, create
content, etc... isn't on this list anymore. Not sure if he ever was.
Please, do give it a chance. First things first - canonical approval is
not a problem if you can prove you're active. I'm assuming someone here
will be able to tell you more details on this.
Grtz,
Jurgen.

I don't know about organizing a funeral just yet. Maybe ubuntu.be

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 it far too official.
The first goal should be, in my humble opinion, to get people to
discover ubuntu. Maybe by promoting this list we could get more people
discovering the os. As far as i'm concerned, i use ubuntu, talk about
it and show it to whoever i think might be interrested, give support
where i can and drop leaflets in our library. (They're also on ubuntu.
Woot!!)
I think that if we do our part any wich way we can, on our little
"islands", and use the net, list as our "glue", who knows what can
happen in the future? Is there still a connection with canonical? How
does that work? Hell, typing this gets me all fired up to give this a
chance. What do you guys think? Give it some kind of try, or just
leave, and do something on our own? (I think we could achieve more
together, but i'd like to hear your opinion). My 2 cents....

What triggered me was a mail I got from someone in the community,
stating that he rather spent his time otherwise, declining an
invitation I had sent him. No problem of course, but it took me to
the following page;
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/IrcMeetings
No activities are visible for me the visitor, going over the pages
it seems that the latest info dates from 2012. I know activities
are still going on, organized by enthusiasts on a very local
scale, but for me it is not visible whether all of this is
coordinated.
I find it a pity, that in the period where MS end of lifes XP I
don't see any coordinated activity to get people over into the
Ubuntu/Mint/Linux camp.
Can anyone please comment and give feedback or let me know I'm
wrong and I seem to live life on a desolate space outside of the
Ubuntu community?
Have a nice day.
Bill
