Alright, I'm in as well.

Is there anything we can do to get some increased visibility?

Start a new topic "Belgian Umbraco meeting on July 19th"?
Would an upcoming page (like http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/466303/) be a good idea? Maybe some information in Dutch as well.

@Ruben I recommend a blog post on umbraco.org. Ask Niels or Per for access.
I've been following how this goes, to see if I can start up a UK user group near me.

Hi everybody,

Unfortunately i haven't found the time to really get 'hands down' with umbraco just yet. Even just as unfortunate is that I've been developing the .NET platform for many years and i've had the "pleasure" of getting familiar with a few more CMS's (Tridion, emagiC, Ektron, and a lot of custom stuff), and i found most of them lacking a few features, and others just plainly badly written.

Umbraco seems a well-thought-of CMS and as an avid XML proponent i can only encourage its usage. The move (v4) towards the standard ASP.NET provider pattern (Membership) can maybe finally give me the leverage to get Umbraco accepted as one of our supported CMS's here at work.

Well anyway, the long intro, just to let you guys know that, given the time this summer i'll be working hard to get our company listed in the 'solution providers' tab on your site.

Of course we are. We are a community and learn from each other. I'm pretty much an Umbraco-virgin as well.
