## page was renamed from BelgianTeam/Fosdem2008
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)
 * Conference Pack: 4 T-shirts, 2 caps, some ballpoints, stickers, etc. (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?

Equipment:

 * a network switch for our stand + UTP cables to interconnect the stands
   * switch provided by OpenGate.be
 * power distribution strips (at least 2 power strips, including 1 with a long cable?)
   * JanClaeys can bring 1 short cable power strip
   * TomVB can bring 1 power strips and a wifi switch/router with 4 LAN ports
   * RoelHuybrechts can bring a 6-element power strip with a 3m (=long) cable
     * 3m is a short cable ;) , but I'll try to bring a longer cable myself -- JanC
 * computers
   * JanClaeys can bring a laptop, an eID reader & a 20" TFT screen
   * WouterHorré can bring a laptop & a eID card reader & a power strip to power the laptop
   * TomVB will bring his XO laptop, but there's no guarantee it'll be running Ubuntu
     * we can try to put Ubuntu on it in the booth ;-)  (JanC)
   * RoelHuybrechts can bring a laptop
   * DJ one recent laptop (compiz,...)
 * projector (needs screen/white background) 
   * RobVanDyck can bring one (Saturday), but we need something to project on. (not enough space, so I will not bring it)
     * JanC can bring a projection screen--but I think we won't have the required space for this (only 1 table!)
 * rubber bands for people who buy posters!  (JanC)
 * DJ take the Ubuntu birthday Cake (better than the last year)

There will also be an Ubuntu-based [[http://www.multiseatcomputer.be/|multiseat computer]] in the hacker room.
