Hello, Besides the Dipro fair where we are a regular participant, we need to broaden our horizon in order to promote FOSS and Ubuntu in particular. The Dipro fairs are nice, but during the last years the impact, and popularity of those fairs has gone downhill. It is becoming an exclusive hardware fair where our stand is the only software related one. This is nice, because we attract attention that way, but OTOH the visitors to the Dipro's are more hardware than software inclined.
I was thinking that, as most of our members are still student or parents with school going children and some or teachers that it must be possible to open a small Ubuntu stand during the open-deur dagen in your or your children's schools. Maybe that is something that you should inject as an agenda point in the different school committees such as the ouderraad . Organizers of such a stand would be logistically supported by the events team with material and eventually manpower. With over 400 'steunpunten' if a mere 10% joins the project, we have approx. 40 extra representations. Studenten en/of ouders van studenten of onderwijzend personneel kan eventueel gebruik maken van de 'open-deur' dagen om er een Ubuntu stand op te zetten. Support zou dezelfde zijn als deze voor een stand op een dipro fair. Des étudiants, leur parents ou des instituteurs pourraient profiter des journées portes-ouvertes pour y placer un Ubuntu-stand. Le soutien logistic serait le mêmem que pour les fairs dipro. A.J. Baudrez
