[10:26] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2010-July/004785.html [10:30] ugh someone wrote to me about a private conversation but posted it to a mailing list [11:17] AlanBell: \o/ [11:18] w00t to Eleanor Chen! That's organic growth :) === daker_ is now known as daker === daker_ is now known as daker [17:17] 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? [17:25] I think it's great, I'll accept in an hour or so unless anyone objects [17:33] 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 [17:36] pleia2: I see no reason not to accept the invite. [17:37] it is an Ubuntu font, U-W-P is a part of Ubuntu :) [17:38] and the font is part of our logo [17:38] not to mention it's nice [17:38] the font and the helping test parts [17:39] * pleia2 nods [17:47] u-w is an open team is it not? [17:47] i suspect one person will object, but that person already has access as an ubuntu member [17:47] AlanBell: yes [17:47] which means anyone who wants the font can join the team to get it [17:47] this was just discussed in #ubuntu-women [17:48] ubuntu-accessibility is also open and was also invited [17:49] I am not objecting, just clarifying [18:37] oh look, it's been an hour [18:38] 'course now lp is giving me timeout errors, I'll try again in a few [18:39] looks like it went [18:39] there we go [18:39] i got an email saying as much [18:39] so did I [18:39] we should add to our agenda talking about who/what should be the contact addy so everyone doesn't get nudged every time [18:40] (unless everyone likes it this way) [18:41] the link in the email doesn't work tho [18:41] works ok for me, try to reload? [18:41] might just be lp being slow [18:43] Nope: error page not found [18:44] works for me [18:45] strange [18:45] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-font-beta-testing that link? [18:45] maiatoday: are you a member of the ubuntu-women group? [18:45] yes but wait maybe because I'm not logged in [18:45] yes re member [18:45] ah, that would do it [18:46] I am almost always logged in to LP but this time somehow I wasn't sorry for false alarm [18:46] it works now [18:51] 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 :) [18:52] 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 [18:53] pleia2: I will run the stats and add to the report [18:53] AlanBell: thank you :) [19:55] 4.70% [19:56] ooh slight progress [19:56] very slight [19:57] if the 2% mark for most projects still rings true, 4.7 is nothing to sneeze at, I'm pleased :) [19:57] it certainly *feels like* I work with a lot more women in Ubuntu than elsewhere [19:58] pleia2: I was surprised at how low it actually is when objectively measured [19:58] 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 :( [19:59] and I couldn't answer because I fail at clothes questions :) [19:59] but yeah, when I want girly advice I don't typically ask techie community people [20:00] it was midnight here...i couldnt call my mum [20:00] she'd think i was in the hospital. all my other friends are people-on-the-internet [20:01] your perception (and mine) is skewed by the people you talk to [20:01] so at conferences and so on (including proprietary ones) I figured it must be 20% or so [20:02] but it is actually more 20% of the people *I* spoke to which isn't an objective sample [20:02] hehe [20:04] but anyhow, I think it would be healthy to exceed 10% [20:05] * pleia2 nods [20:05] tempting to dissolve this project when we hit 10%, but I think we'll have to wait and see ;) [20:06] "wait and see" isn't the most effective management strategy for delivering a change to a key performance indicator [20:07] 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] it might (and I was teasing with the pointy haired boss language) [20:08] however I think the two are linked [20:08] yes, they're certainly linked [20:08] and both related to Ubuntu going mainstream [20:09] and being a proper professional and grown up operating system with a professional and grown up community [20:11] yeah, there are a lot of factors [20:16] * AlanBell hugs the nice fast u-w wiki [20:16] hehe [20:16] that's the /real/ reason we have our own ;P [20:17] 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] I offered to help fix the main one but nobody seemed interested [20:17] pleia2: hahahaha [20:18] 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/ [20:19] instead of it just being another A record [20:19] or is that CNAME? [20:19] i get these confused [20:19] ~$ host wiki.kubuntu.org [20:19] wiki.kubuntu.org has address 91.189.90.229 [20:19] A record [20:19] although [20:19] ~$ host wiki.ubuntu.com [20:19] wiki.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.90.19 [20:21] round robin? [20:23] a rr should show up in a host request (unless they're doing a non-dns-based one) [20:24] oh [21:22] aloha [21:23] evening czajkowski [21:24] A Team rocks :D [21:24] it does
