Hi Guys,
The meeting + braai is going to be held on Saturday 14 July
(we'll start by singing the Marseillaise). Meeting at 15h00
and braai from 18h00 onwards.
Please let me know if you would like to attend.
For those of you who really feel they should attend at least
a meeting, but can't make it that day, or feel it should not
be held here, do let me know. The meeting can be rescheduled.
Cheers,
Jan.

Hello All,
I can tell you from last year that I had a great time
there. Food was good, and the atmosphere was great!
I think this is a great time to put some new life in
ubuntu-be, as it has been very silent lately.
If some of the participants would like to get to know
Antwerp before the braai I can always give you a tour
around Antwerp. I'm not a guide, but I study in Antwerp
for 3 years now so I can show you the tourist things like
The Central Station, the "boerentoren", the cathedral,
the MAS (Museam aan de Stroom), ...
I can also try, if anyone is interested in that, to find
someone to open up the hackerspace (we don't have enough
keys / alarm codes to give one to every member) in
Antwerp around noon, and give you a tour there. We have a
lot of Linux systems running there, and there's a giant
tux somewhere.
If you don't like my ideas no problem, I'm just trying to
think about how to give you an entire day of fun in a
beautiful city, Antwerp :D

Most of us probably remember what braai means.
For the new ones amongst us, a braai is a barbecue.
Except that a barbecue is for ignorant Americans or
Australians.
Braai is doing it properly, like proper South Africans.
I am half South African (actually got a passport the
other day).
Last year we had loads of fun.
Last year's report can be found here:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/BelgianTeam/SocialEvents/Braai
I have a suggestion:
we can use the opportunity to have a IRL meeting
beforehand. Council members, what do you think?
We could coordinate some new ideas, and perhaps refresh
or shuffle the Council.
I therefore made up a Doodle where you can do two things
at once: choose a date, and say if you'd like to attend
an IRL meeting beforehand.
here's the link: http://www.doodle.com/ga4hbghzni4m3mgx
If you like the braai but have no interest in the
meeting, just select the 'braai at 18h' only.
Of course, we can discuss the idea via this mailing list
as well. If the general opinion is not to have an IRL
meeting, I can easily remove the option from the Doodle.
I suggested some dates in July on the Doodle. If you do
like the idea but are not available on any of these
dates, please do let me know. I can easily expand the
Doodle to suit other people's diary.
Cheers,
Jan.
P.S. I have attached last year's message just to get you
into the vibe.
(the following message contains South African slang. If
you are lost in translation, there are plenty of web
sites that will help you out with it. Google is your
friend. The Wikipedia list is kak, don't bother)
Howzit!
As promised I'll be organising a lekker South African
braai at our place.
How will this braai work?
Basically anyone is invited, but we do have a logistic
limit of 10 to 15 people on our terrace. The weather
needs to be dry for the occasion. If it rains, we need
to shift the venue or the date. I have access to pretty
accurate forecasts so I can tell you at least a day in
advance.
South Africans are very casual with their braai. If you
happen to have a friend that wants to come along last
minute, he/she is welcome to join. "Your friends are our
friends too."
Because of this, the logistics are just as casual. We do
cater for those who want it. We'll have to shop for it
ourselves and anyone can just ask to buy something for
them as well.
Many people prefer to bring their own 'dop en tjop'.
Then they know they'll like the meat that's on the fire,
and the booze that is available.
We will have the basics: lager beer, wine, cola, water,
and salads and snacks. We will have braaivleis according
to our own taste. If you wish we should cater for you,
by all means, just let us know. There may be some
boerewors if we can get hold of some. We usually get
some sosaties and chops from the local butchery.
You can try your skills on our vuvuzela's if you wish.
(Don't give your opinion now. It will all change once
you have a few 'doppe' in you.)
We usually start our braai early. We get together from
about 5pm onwards, and the fires are usually started at
around 7pm (actually after sunset, but this is not
recommendable in summer in Belgium).
It gives us enough time to praat kak, have some snacks,
and drink! They have a saying: Meestal is die mense gaar
voor die vleis gaar is. (Usually the people are 'cooked'
before the meat is cooked).
Starting early has the added advantage that the party is
usually over well before midnight, and you still have
the opportunity to catch the last train. No need to
drink and drive.
But if you don't smaak going home that night, we always
have a spare bed or two, and you are welcome to just kip
until the morning.
Obviously there is no dress code for the occasion. Most
people come in shorts and plakkies if it's warm enough.
So kom maak 'n draai en kuier saam met ons. We're going
to have a moerse party.
Cheers,
Jan.
