FOSDEM 2008 will be held February 23-24th, 2008.

We will have a 1 table booth for Ubuntu, so we need some people (both Belgian and other) to populate this booth during the weekend. More volunteers who want to help = more free time for these volunteers to visit talks, so... please volunteer!

As this will be our 2 year birthday, maybe we can have a drink and/or food one evening too? Maybe together with Ubuntu people from other countries?

Stuff

Stuff to show or distribute at FOSDEM:

• 800 Ubuntu CDs (delivered to JanClaeys by Canonical)

• Posters (with Dutch language slogan only for now?)
• Flyers for the Flemish release party

• can somebody make a slideshow that explains what a LoCoTeam does (maybe also ask other European LoCoTeams?)

• ... what else will be available to sell and/or give away?
