[03:53] <pleia2> Pendulum: I figured I'd touch base before the holiday weekend... do we have an interview for FCM this month?
[03:53] <pleia2> I'm wondering if we always want to have one in the queue so we don't have to worry so much about people getting back to us on time
[08:09] <rww> the /topic in here and #ubuntu-women says the last meeting date, btw
[08:19] <issyl0> Heeey.
[08:20] <issyl0> pleia2: that would be a good idea, yes
[20:09] <czajkowski> tis rare anymore I read the UW planet, just looked now , it's very un ubuntu related and not really technical posted
[20:25] <pleia2> we don't have any techincal requirements on our planet
[20:25] <czajkowski> pleia2: aye I know, just 7 in a row from one person
[20:25] <pleia2> neither does the main ubuntu planet, but the culture is a bit different there
[20:25] <czajkowski> nothng about ubuntu
[20:25] <pleia2> we don't have an ubuntu requirement either, just that they use ubuntu
[20:26] <czajkowski> pleia2: aye my blog is only on the planet, but my reason for that  is I don't believe in seperate planets
[20:26] <czajkowski> pleia2: aye and they don't have to be members
[20:26] <pleia2> yeah
[20:26] <czajkowski> I do get it, just rather disapointing to read as well
[20:26] <IdleOne> /blog_uwp <body> Ubuntu Rocks! UWP Rocks N' Rolls! >/body>
[20:26] <IdleOne> oops s/>/</
[20:26] <czajkowski> right....
[20:26] <pleia2> I think it's quite refreshing :)
[20:26] <czajkowski> pleia2: pros and cons for both I do get it
[20:27] <czajkowski> just not really my cuppa tea either
[20:27] <czajkowski> and was looking for information for the workshop/talk I'm giving
[20:27] <pleia2> we can talk about changing our policy, but I quite like the plants actually being a glimpse into lives like the ubuntu planet claims to be (but isn't)
[20:27] <IdleOne> I can post about how Ubuntu helped me not to trash the new BBQ I am trying to assemble (on little break now)
[20:27] <pleia2> planets
[20:28] <czajkowski> pleia2: nah there is no need, just waffling
[20:28] <pleia2> ok :)
[20:28] <czajkowski> trying to find and link resouces
[20:29] <czajkowski> pleia2: just had hope they'd a bit more technical/ubuntu related than what's there, it's just a bit disapointing also
[20:30] <pleia2> ah
[20:31] <czajkowski> pleia2: imo just disapointing to see an planet on women - not really technical, it's extremely the oposite
[20:31] <IdleOne> I believe some less technical post are refreshing and can still be used as a resource
[20:31] <czajkowski> pleia2: I did love your pink wii
[20:31] <czajkowski> and showed it to my sister, made her day
[20:31] <czajkowski> IdleOne: they're all nearly non technical.
[20:31] <IdleOne> at the same time it would be nice to see more tech posts from women.
[20:31] <akgraner> I never write about technical stuff  :-(
[20:31] <akgraner> but anywho .... back to UWN
[20:32] <pleia2> czajkowski: I guess I just see it as getting people to realize that *normal* people use linux too, we've already reached out to all the geeky girls in the world, time to show that not everyone is a supergeek and we have regular lives too
[20:32] <pleia2> and you don't need to be supertechnical to be part of the community, or use ubuntu
[20:32] <czajkowski> pleia2: yup I agree totally, but now we seem to be going to the other extreme,
[20:32] <pleia2> there are plenty of other sites which showcase geeky women
[20:32] <czajkowski> I know we cant please everyone
[20:33] <czajkowski> pleia2: don't mind me I've just spent hrs in a hospital and now researching stuff so it's just jumping out
[20:43] <pleia2> that doesn't sound fun :\
[20:43] <czajkowski> ah mum is being admitted in for an op tomorrow.
[20:44] <czajkowski> now resarching stuff on Ubuntu women- women in tehnology for my talk in 2 wks time in Leeds in UK
[20:44] <maco> czajkowski: have you seen http://planeteria.org/wfs/  ?
[20:45] <pleia2> yeah, that's the one I was just looking up the url for, thanks maco :)
[20:45] <czajkowski> maco: ahh now that;s what I'm looking for
[20:45] <czajkowski> cheers
