| pleia2 | hey folks, ivanka invited the team to ubuntu-font-beta-testing (which means anyone in the team can do font beta testing) - is there any reason you can see why we shouldn't accept? | 17:17 |
| pleia2 | I think it's great, I'll accept in an hour or so unless anyone objects | 17:25 |
| pleia2 | and I'll drop her an email to see if there is any text she wants us to send along to the list with accepting this | 17:33 |
| IdleOne | pleia2: I see no reason not to accept the invite. | 17:36 |
| IdleOne | it is an Ubuntu font, U-W-P is a part of Ubuntu :) | 17:37 |
| maco | and the font is part of our logo | 17:38 |
| IdleOne | not to mention it's nice | 17:38 |
| IdleOne | the font and the helping test parts | 17:38 |
| * pleia2 nods | 17:39 | |
| AlanBell | u-w is an open team is it not? | 17:47 |
| maco | i suspect one person will object, but that person already has access as an ubuntu member | 17:47 |
| maco | AlanBell: yes | 17:47 |
| AlanBell | which means anyone who wants the font can join the team to get it | 17:47 |
| maco | this was just discussed in #ubuntu-women | 17:47 |
| maco | ubuntu-accessibility is also open and was also invited | 17:48 |
| AlanBell | I am not objecting, just clarifying | 17:49 |
| pleia2 | oh look, it's been an hour | 18:37 |
| pleia2 | 'course now lp is giving me timeout errors, I'll try again in a few | 18:38 |
| maco | looks like it went | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | there we go | 18:39 |
| maco | i got an email saying as much | 18:39 |
| maiatoday | so did I | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | we should add to our agenda talking about who/what should be the contact addy so everyone doesn't get nudged every time | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | (unless everyone likes it this way) | 18:40 |
| maiatoday | the link in the email doesn't work tho | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | works ok for me, try to reload? | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | might just be lp being slow | 18:41 |
| maiatoday | Nope: error page not found | 18:43 |
| AlanBell | works for me | 18:44 |
| maiatoday | strange | 18:45 |
| AlanBell | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-font-beta-testing that link? | 18:45 |
| AlanBell | maiatoday: are you a member of the ubuntu-women group? | 18:45 |
| maiatoday | yes but wait maybe because I'm not logged in | 18:45 |
| maiatoday | yes re member | 18:45 |
| AlanBell | ah, that would do it | 18:45 |
| maiatoday | I am almost always logged in to LP but this time somehow I wasn't sorry for false alarm | 18:46 |
| maiatoday | it works now | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | also went ahead and added a note about creating an lp team for the leadership trio so there is an easy way to contact leaders and someone to own the ubuntu-women lp team so we don't need to toggle admin status with each new election cycle :) | 18:51 |
| pleia2 | aaand another reminder, if you have anything to add to our July report, please do it soon, I'm copying it to the full report tomorrow: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ReportingPage | 18:52 |
| AlanBell | pleia2: I will run the stats and add to the report | 18:53 |
| pleia2 | AlanBell: thank you :) | 18:53 |
| AlanBell | 4.70% | 19:55 |
| maco | ooh slight progress | 19:56 |
| AlanBell | very slight | 19:56 |
| pleia2 | if the 2% mark for most projects still rings true, 4.7 is nothing to sneeze at, I'm pleased :) | 19:57 |
| pleia2 | it certainly *feels like* I work with a lot more women in Ubuntu than elsewhere | 19:57 |
| AlanBell | pleia2: I was surprised at how low it actually is when objectively measured | 19:58 |
| maco | i dunno yesterday i tried to find women to ask a clothing question, and pleia2, akgraner, and MichelleQ were the only ones in the US i could think of to ask... my PM list is really :( | 19:58 |
| pleia2 | and I couldn't answer because I fail at clothes questions :) | 19:59 |
| pleia2 | but yeah, when I want girly advice I don't typically ask techie community people | 19:59 |
| maco | it was midnight here...i couldnt call my mum | 20:00 |
| maco | she'd think i was in the hospital. all my other friends are people-on-the-internet | 20:00 |
| AlanBell | your perception (and mine) is skewed by the people you talk to | 20:01 |
| AlanBell | so at conferences and so on (including proprietary ones) I figured it must be 20% or so | 20:01 |
| AlanBell | but it is actually more 20% of the people *I* spoke to which isn't an objective sample | 20:02 |
| maco | hehe | 20:02 |
| AlanBell | but anyhow, I think it would be healthy to exceed 10% | 20:04 |
| * pleia2 nods | 20:05 | |
| pleia2 | tempting to dissolve this project when we hit 10%, but I think we'll have to wait and see ;) | 20:05 |
| AlanBell | "wait and see" isn't the most effective management strategy for delivering a change to a key performance indicator | 20:06 |
| pleia2 | AlanBell: the trouble is that it's not all about numbers, a sexist environment may remain even when we hit a percentage goal, then our job won't b edone | 20:07 |
| AlanBell | it might (and I was teasing with the pointy haired boss language) | 20:07 |
| AlanBell | however I think the two are linked | 20:08 |
| pleia2 | yes, they're certainly linked | 20:08 |
| AlanBell | and both related to Ubuntu going mainstream | 20:08 |
| AlanBell | and being a proper professional and grown up operating system with a professional and grown up community | 20:09 |
| pleia2 | yeah, there are a lot of factors | 20:11 |
| * AlanBell hugs the nice fast u-w wiki | 20:16 | |
| pleia2 | hehe | 20:16 |
| pleia2 | that's the /real/ reason we have our own ;P | 20:16 |
| pleia2 | actually, it was quite telling when we suggested we'd move back to the main wiki and canonical IS was all "NOOO, it can't take it! I'm sorry we'll fix yours! right now!" | 20:17 |
| AlanBell | I offered to help fix the main one but nobody seemed interested | 20:17 |
| maco | pleia2: hahahaha | 20:17 |
| maco | if they wanted to shrink what they have to hold, they could put wiki.kubuntu.org as actually a separae wiki that just holds whats currently at wiki.ubuntu.com/Kubuntu/ | 20:18 |
| maco | instead of it just being another A record | 20:19 |
| maco | or is that CNAME? | 20:19 |
| maco | i get these confused | 20:19 |
| pleia2 | ~$ host wiki.kubuntu.org | 20:19 |
| pleia2 | wiki.kubuntu.org has address 91.189.90.229 | 20:19 |
| pleia2 | A record | 20:19 |
| pleia2 | although | 20:19 |
| pleia2 | ~$ host wiki.ubuntu.com | 20:19 |
| pleia2 | wiki.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.90.19 | 20:19 |
| maco | round robin? | 20:21 |
| pleia2 | a rr should show up in a host request (unless they're doing a non-dns-based one) | 20:23 |
| maco | oh | 20:24 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 21:22 |
| AlanBell | evening czajkowski | 21:23 |
| czajkowski | A Team rocks :D | 21:24 |
| AlanBell | it does | 21:24 |
