[13:09] <hypatia> and http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Roadmap-M
[13:09] <hypatia> are listed as the work items there - does anyone have updates?
[13:09]  * hypatia for one is still learning how to use blueprints ^_^
[13:09] <Pendulum> I"m trying to work on the mentorship stuff, but I've got other things and had some health stuff crop up
[13:10] <hypatia> awesome, Pendulum
[13:10] <hypatia> i mean about working on it, not the health stuff :/
[13:11] <hypatia> looks like the logo stuff is about wrapped too
[13:11] <hypatia> when I figure out how to edit the bp i'll update it to reflect that
[13:11] <hypatia> [ACTION] hypatia will update the blueprint to reflect the completed logo work
[13:11] <Mootbot-UK> ACTION received:  hypatia will update the blueprint to reflect the completed logo work
[13:12] <hypatia> any other blueprint stuff?
[13:12]  * hypatia pokes elky 
[13:13] <Pendulum> hypatia: if you want, post meeting I can show you how to update that :)
[13:13] <elky> Oh! Hai!
[13:13] <hypatia> Pendulum: sounds great
[13:13] <hypatia> ok moving on to the next item...
[13:13] <hypatia> [TOPIC] - OPEN ITEMS - Election results
[13:13] <Mootbot-UK> New Topic:  - OPEN ITEMS - Election results
[13:14] <hypatia> (i'm not sure where the OPEN ITEMS bit comes from, but it was in the template so i just copied it over)
[13:14] <hypatia> Thanks to everyone who ran, voted, and otherwise participated in the first UW leadership elections
[13:15] <hypatia> after a close runoff vote, pleia2, elky and myself ended up the three co-leaders
[13:15] <elky> hypatia, it's typically General Business i think
[13:15] <hypatia> elky: gotcha
[13:15] <elky> Yaaaaay!
[13:15]  * hypatia gives especial thanks to Pendulum :)
[13:15] <elky> Thanks to everyone who voted and nominated and all that stuff
[13:15]  * hypatia high-fives all around
[13:15] <elky> Especially considering we had to lock down things in the middle of it all.
[13:16] <hypatia> we should probably set a date for the next election, or is it too soon?
[13:16] <hypatia> i mean we can likely just set fixed dates for the future
[13:16] <elky> hypatia, +$term_length from announcement date I'd guess
[13:17] <hypatia> yah
[13:17] <hypatia> which is just 6 months
[13:17] <hypatia> why don't i propose fixed dates on the mailing list?
[13:17] <elky> Is it?
[13:17] <elky> I thought amber's reign was 6mths, but the triad was 12. I could be wrong of course.
[13:17] <hypatia> i thought it was based around the release cycle
[13:17] <hypatia> i may also be wrong
[13:18] <hypatia> elky: can i task you with looking into this? :)
[13:18] <elky> I don't want to be having an election every 6 months. We lose a month each time.
[13:18] <elky> Sure.
[13:18] <hypatia> woot
[13:19] <hypatia> http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess says one-year term
[13:19] <Mootbot-UK> LINK received:  http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess says one-year term
[13:19] <elky> I thought it did :)
[13:19] <hypatia> [ACTION] elky will propose fixed yearly election dates to the u-w mailing list
[13:19] <Mootbot-UK> ACTION received:  elky will propose fixed yearly election dates to the u-w mailing list
[13:20] <elky> someone remind me in a week if I haven't. adjusting to new job, I'm all over the place.

[13:20] <elky> Update is there is no update from elky :-/

[13:23] <hypatia> #endmeeting
[13:23] <Mootbot-UK> Meeting finished at 12:23.
[13:23] <hypatia> we are paragons of efficiency in here, yo.
[13:23] <elky> I think we need to table an agenda for next time for refreshing the meeting times, though.
[13:23] <hypatia> think so?
[13:24] <elky> We've got a whole lot of new people since our meeting times were set.
[13:24] <hypatia> should we do a doodle poll?
[13:24] <elky> Yup.
[13:24] <hypatia> hokay, i'll do that
[13:24] <elky> Though, table it for discussion at next meeting first maybe
[13:24] <hypatia> ok, cool
[13:24]  * hypatia edits next meeting's wikipage
[13:25] <elky> no need to hurry it, and the other TZ may want to aye or nay
[13:25] <hypatia> o shi
[13:25] <hypatia> http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/July2010/Agenda <-- but what do we do when there are TWO july meetings
[13:25] <elky>  /agenda2?
[13:25] <hypatia> good idea!
[13:25]  * hypatia copies the page over
[13:26] <hypatia> that said, i'll put it on there, but i'm inclined to think that all times are equally bad
[13:27] <Pendulum> oh, can I just put out there that when you sent the doodle poll out that you may also want to say "if you can't use the doodle poll, please let us know when you can meet" as far as I know, it's not an accessible site for screen readers
[13:28] <hypatia> Pendulum: thanks for pointing that out - do you know of an accessible alternative?
[13:30] <Pendulum> nope. I can ask around, but a lot of the polling sites aren't very good. (I actually manually do scheduling for Accessibility Team meetings)
[13:30] <hypatia> http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/July2010/Agenda2
[13:30] <hypatia> Pendulum: seems like an opportunity for a nice Free Software alternative :)
[13:31] <elky> Surely one of these sites must have an API or something that someone can hack up a quick app for.
[13:31] <hypatia> i'd probably do it in appengine
[13:31] <hypatia> ...but i'm on an appengine kick right now
[13:32] <elky> You could probably do something similar with an anonymous edit google poll thingie too.
[13:32] <elky> Though dunno how accessible google apps are.
[13:33] <Pendulum> I know AlanBell found a wordpress plug in that works for surveys that at least for the person taking the survey doesn't seem to be too bad, however, we didn't test with radio buttons as we just needed text boxes
[13:35] <hypatia> ok i've got to skidaddle
[13:35] <hypatia> many errands to run before i head to montreal :)
[13:35] <hypatia> cya around folks!
[16:42] <czajkowski> aloha]
[17:02] <pleia2> since the mootbot logs include the agenda, we'd just been reusing the Agenda page and rotating out what no longer needs to be there (if you look at Meetings/July2010/Agenda you'll see it's been renamed several times as we rotate the month)
[17:06] <Tm_T> hi
[17:10] <pleia2> and just added pretty version of logs & agenda here: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/20100708
[17:11] <pleia2> regarding the year term and schedule, I believe the dates that are currently on LeadershipElectionProcess are meant to be static
[17:48] <pleia2> valorie: I'll be sending up 150 or so of these with MarkDude: http://princessleia.com/uw/ubuntu-women-flier-printed.jpg
[17:48] <pleia2> and another 200 or so printed on just regular orange paper
[23:09] <valorie> pleia2: those are wonderful!!!!!!!
[23:09] <pleia2> valorie: I'm glad you like :) picked up the paper last night
[23:10] <valorie> maybe we can post some of the pretty ones around in various meeting rooms or something
[23:10] <valorie> and hand out the orange ones for those who are interested
[23:10] <valorie> althara, be sure you look at her links
[23:11] <valorie> :-)
[23:16] <pleia2> hehe, my boyfriend goes "what are you printing over there?!"
[23:16] <pleia2> (the printer isn't particularly fast for a laser printer)
[23:26] <valorie> oooo, you are printing them yourself?
[23:26] <valorie> that is a lot of ink!
[23:28] <pleia2> apparently this ink cartridge is supposed to be good for printing 10,000 pages
[23:28] <pleia2> I print about 12 per year ;)
[23:30] <valorie> ok
[23:31] <valorie> that ain't bad
[23:31] <valorie> hubby has a photo grade printer
[23:31] <valorie> and he's always buying expensive ink
[23:31] <valorie> but his photo collages are totally worth it
[23:33] <pleia2> we considered a photo printer, but it turns out that for normal use it's cheaper for us to just head down to the pharmacy to get prints at a kiosk
[23:35] <valorie> his are labors of love, and the recipients all love them
