(08:03:16 PM) johe_ [n=jstephan@vpndfki-2.net.uni-saarland.de] entered the room.
(08:03:32 PM) biertie: vincentvdk1: if it is necessary, I can code the website, but someone else had to design it
(08:03:50 PM) vincentvdk1: biertie: i had plans on using Drupal
(08:04:06 PM) vincentvdk1: i don't know if someone has other ideas
(08:04:22 PM) wwoods left the room (quit: Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).
(08:04:31 PM) biertie: but what would you include in the site?
(08:05:04 PM) mdomsch [n=Matt_Dom@cpe-70-124-62-55.austin.res.rr.com] entered the room.
(08:05:10 PM) johe left the room (quit: Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).
(08:05:18 PM) vincentvdk1: biertie: to start with, some general Fedora information
(08:05:21 PM) johe_ is now known as johe
(08:05:30 PM) vincentvdk1: and later on add more stuff
(08:05:50 PM) biertie: well, if you just want some basic information, even a stupid html site could do that..
(08:05:59 PM) vincentvdk1: coverage from meetings, etc
(08:06:01 PM) biertie: so maybe drupal would be overkill then?
(08:06:19 PM) fhornain [n=fhornain@fwcirb.irisnet.be] entered the room.
(08:06:33 PM) fhornain: Belgian guys ?
(08:06:43 PM) couf: biertie: not 100% agreed

(08:06:55 PM) couf: hi Frederic
(08:06:59 PM) biertie: hi fhornain
(08:07:02 PM) fhornain: Hello *
(08:07:18 PM) vincentvdk1: Drupal gives us the oppertunity to add more features later on
(08:07:31 PM) fhornain: I have seen you have already introduce yourself.
(08:07:43 PM) fhornain: How much are we ?

(08:08:13 PM) fhornain: Please Carry on
(08:08:28 PM) vincentvdk1: i'm logging this conversation
(08:08:37 PM) fhornain: OK
(08:08:59 PM) Bouska: fhornain: five, with you
(08:09:08 PM) fhornain: Nice
(08:09:17 PM) vincentvdk1: fhornain: status of be£.fedoracommunity.org
(08:09:54 PM) fhornain: I send email this evening.
(08:10:05 PM) fhornain: So no reply yet.
(08:10:12 PM) vincentvdk1: fhornain: ok, good
(08:10:14 PM) fhornain: Keep you in touch asap
(08:10:25 PM) biertie: ok
(08:10:34 PM) vincentvdk1: next topic is CMS
(08:10:39 PM) vincentvdk1: (or no CMS)
(08:10:48 PM) fhornain: Bouska, could send me you email address ?
(08:11:00 PM) couf: vincentvdk1: info on the site should be additional to what can be found on fp.o
(08:11:01 PM) fhornain: go on vincent
(08:11:12 PM) couf: or should act as a portal to what can be found there
(08:11:36 PM) couf: no need to start duplicating major parts of fp.o
(08:11:49 PM) vincentvdk1: content should be belux specific
(08:11:49 PM) biertie: couf: agreed
(08:11:55 PM) fhornain: +1
(08:11:58 PM) couf: I see it more as a place for the belux community to communicate
(08:11:58 PM) Bouska: fhornain: you have, i'm Pablo, we met twice at the FOSDEM
(08:12:13 PM) vincentvdk1: indeed no duplication of fp needed
(08:12:31 PM) vincentvdk1: that's why we need everybody's input
(08:12:36 PM) fhornain: :)
(08:13:02 PM) vincentvdk1: it should be a place for the blux community to get together
(08:13:03 PM) drago01 left the room (quit: Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer)).
(08:13:27 PM) couf: okay, was just to be sure that we're all on the same page :)
(08:13:38 PM) drago01 [n=linux@chello062178124130.3.13.univie.teleweb.at] entered the room.
(08:13:42 PM) vincentvdk1: couf: i think we are
(08:14:22 PM) biertie: jep :)
(08:14:32 PM) vincentvdk1: exapmle : http://ubuntu-be.org/
(08:14:42 PM) vincentvdk1: but we don't need to be copycats
(08:15:01 PM) hanthana_ [n=hanthana@124.43.57.183] entered the room.
(08:15:44 PM) vincentvdk1: i don't know if we need our own mailing list?
(08:15:52 PM) fhornain: So this is what I propose. We can start with Drupal and if it does not fit our goals then we try something else.
(08:16:29 PM) vincentvdk1: fhornain: ok
(08:16:35 PM) biertie: fhornain: ok
(08:17:22 PM) vincentvdk1: any other ideas?
(08:17:31 PM) fhornain: Vincent : For the moment we are 6 and if we want to reach the group we can use fedora ambassadors mailing list
(08:18:02 PM) biertie: a map, like http://map.ubuntu-be.org/index.php
(08:18:11 PM) vincentvdk1: fhornain: ok, i also think it's better like this for now
(08:18:19 PM) biertie: maybe more integrated in the site, but it looks cool, and it's easy for other people :)
(08:18:21 PM) kulll_ left the room (quit: Connection timed out).
(08:19:09 PM) vincentvdk1: biertie: ok, something we can look at
(08:19:15 PM) fhornain: biertie : This page is a little bit optimist.
(08:19:43 PM) biertie: fhornain: why?
(08:19:58 PM) fhornain: just a comment on the number of ubuntu support point.
(08:20:05 PM) vincentvdk1: fhornain: :)
(08:20:08 PM) biertie: ach ok :)
(08:20:22 PM) fhornain: Surprising
(08:21:29 PM) couf: moving on
(08:21:36 PM) fhornain: Ok, so we are agree to start with Drupal and some basic page for the moment. New features will be added later.
(08:21:44 PM) fhornain: couf: +1
(08:21:57 PM) vincentvdk1: vincentvdk1: +1
(08:22:05 PM) fhornain: Two points for me.
(08:22:25 PM) vincentvdk1: i guess the site needs to be a central place for everything that's goining on in belux
(08:22:46 PM) fhornain: I thing so.
(08:22:51 PM) vincentvdk1: free media, org of events, merchandise
(08:23:09 PM) fhornain: We ll see.

(08:24:20 PM) fhornain: Bouska ?

(08:25:21 PM) fhornain: Nop about the OLPC Session. Just to let you know.
(08:25:47 PM) fhornain: I know that is not directly reslated to Fedora but as F9 is the OS of OLPC.
