czajkowskiis elky present?21:03
macoczajkowski: its like 5AM where she is, so i think not21:03
pleia2she requested a reminder at a meeting a few weeks ago, so someone should remind her that this is an action item :)21:04
czajkowskimaco: just asking :)21:04
nigelboh we've pinged her enough already21:04
nigelb2621:04
pleia2nigelb: someone already sent a reminder?21:04
czajkowskimight also be an idea to add topics for the timezone meeting folks can possibly make it to ?21:04
czajkowskiok moving on so21:04

czajkowski[TOPIC] - Contact address on launchpad - pleia221:04
Mootbot-UKNew Topic:  - Contact address on launchpad - pleia221:04
pleia2nigelb: thanks :)21:05
czajkowskicurrently goes to everyone, is this preferred? Should it go to mailing list instead? Or (one of the|) team leaders?21:05
pleia2I think the options are "everyone" or "single email address"21:05
pleia2single email address can be our mailing list (but list admins would have to agree, since they need to moderate)21:06
pleia2but I don't think there is an option for just "team admins"21:06
pleia2I'd like it to go to the mailing list21:06
AlanBellhttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-women/+contactuser that is this thing for those wondering21:06
Pendulumpleia2: +121:06
nigelbpleia2: +1, I was about to suggest.21:06
czajkowski[link] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-women/+contactuser21:07
Mootbot-UKLINK received:  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-women/+contactuser21:07
highvoltagewhat some teams have done is create a new team called team-admins and then they make that the contact (it's surely suboptimal, but it does kind of work)21:07
czajkowskiok so shall we agree/action it to be mailing list21:07
belkinsapieia2: +121:07
pleia2highvoltage: can email be directed to the owner?21:07
pleia2highvoltage: (also, such a team is the next on the agenda ;))21:07
AlanBellhow many mails have been sent that way?21:07
pleia2AlanBell: one every 3-6 months, and it's terribly confusing to everyone21:08
highvoltagepleia2: I don't think so21:08
AlanBellactually, "You are contacting 237 members of the Ubuntu-Women Team (ubuntu-women) team directly." is kind of offputting21:08
akkAren't all the "goals have been updated" mails from that as well? I get those fairly regularly.21:08
highvoltagepleia2: well it can if the contact address is set to the owner, but then (as you probably know), just the owner will get it21:08
PendulumAlanBell: people don't necessarily notice that bit21:08
pleia2highvoltage: oh ok, cool21:08
nigelbakk: that could be from subscribing to the blueprint.21:08
czajkowskiakk: is that the blueprint ?21:08
akkright, the blueprint21:09
pleia2akk: I believe so, since "the team" is subscribed to the blueprint, and the team email address is "everyone"21:09
pleia2I don't think we want just team admins to see these emails21:09
czajkowskiok so can we agree on taking this to the mailing list for further discussion ?21:09
pleia2I dunno, highvoltage had a suggestion but I think the rest of us agreed that sending to the mailing list address is ok (so long as the mail admins agree)21:10
hypatiaoh crap, meeting21:10
hypatiahi!21:10
czajkowskihypatia: aloha!21:10
hypatiasorry i'm late, folks21:10
czajkowskihypatia: no bother :)21:11
AlanBellI kind of like highvoltage's suggestion21:11
highvoltagepleia2: the mailing list sounds good! I was just mentioning the teams-concept fwiw, sorry for the noise :)21:11
belkinsaAlanBell:  +121:11
czajkowski[AGREE] Propose to mailing list admins setting launchpad contact email to mailing list21:11
pleia2AlanBell: but then the UW team won't get blueprint updates, and people who think they're sending to the list (as all these emails so far seem to believe) will only get to admins21:11
AlanBellpleia2: I don't like it so much any more then!21:12
pleia2unless a leader forwards them, which is sub-optimal21:12

Mootbot-UKNew Topic:  - Creation of a ubuntu-women-leaders/council/board team - pleia221:12
czajkowskilike other teams do to own the ubuntu-women so we don't need to toggle admin status for leaders in LP for each new election cycle21:12
nigelbIts a good idea.  +121:13
pleia2yeah, svaksha brought up what a pain it was to swap out admins all the time, and I tend to agree, this would remove that problem21:13
pleia2(and the leaders need admin on LP to handle blueprints and things)21:13
belkinsaAgreed, +1.21:13
MichelleQgood with me21:13
AlanBellfine, the question is leaders or council or board I guess21:14
Pendulumsounds good to me as well21:14
Dolasilla+1 (hi all! sorry, I'm late.. :( )21:14
czajkowski+1 sounds good to me21:14
pleia2AlanBell: leaders, there are 3 of us, we're essentially the board/council21:14
pleia2elected21:14
pleia2ok, so I'll create the new leader team21:14
pleia2oh wait, I think we can AGREED this one :)21:14
nigelbyou'll have to work out a workflow for it though. Like who will own that team, etc.21:15

czajkowskiwhat happened next with the UW photo competition code21:15
AlanBellok, so as elky has yet to be waken by the kookaburras I will talk on this21:16
AlanBellso the UW photo competition was great, and ran on some code elky knocked together for the purpose21:16
nigelbpollka.net21:16
highvoltageI need to leave in a minute or two, so sorry if I'm saying this out of place, but I thought some of you might be glad to hear that the next UBuntu Release Manager is a woman: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-August/031102.html21:16
AlanBellin #ubuntu-uk we are choosing a new logo and I was hunting about for an image voting thingie to use21:17
pleia2thanks highvoltage :)21:17
AlanBelland I realised that the photo competition one would work great21:17
AlanBellelky has created a project around the code now, there is an IRC channel #pollka21:17

highvoltagemaco: good to hear, I'm not familiar with her21:18
czajkowskiAlanBell: anything else ?21:18
nigelbJust to add to what AlanBell said..21:18
AlanBellthe code isn't perfect at all, which is fine, it is a nice little project for people to start contributing to21:18
AlanBellelky wants to use it as a mentoring playground effectively21:19
nigelbelky mailed the list about mentoring opportunities.  The code is in PHP.  If anyone wants to help out, please join the channel and apply to join the team. :)21:19
AlanBellso if anyone wants to play with a nice little php, mysql, website applicaiton then come and join in21:19
pleia2I think it's a great idea, I fear we lose some female devs because we don't do a good enough job of giving a very direct path to contributions21:19
AlanBellczajkowski: ok, done from me21:20
AlanBellelky might want to talk further about the mentoring at the next meeting21:20
czajkowski[TOPIC] - AOB21:20
Mootbot-UKNew Topic:  - AOB21:20
pleia2I think more mentors should be encouraged to have pet projects they can give people jobs on immediately :)21:20

AlanBellnext meeting is Thursday 26th at 10:00 UTC21:32
macopleia2: make CC own it?21:32
AlanBellso update http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings with next meeting date and link to logs of the meeting just done21:34
pleia2maco: the team isn't directly under the review of the CC like the official derivatives are, I don't think that's appropriate21:34
pleia2that would be like adding the CC as owner of individual loco councils21:34
macomm the loco council then?21:34
macoi remember discussion years ago of UW being like a loco21:35
pleia2I don't think the loco council should own loco team councils either21:35
macohrmmm21:35
pleia2we're all our own groups, councils only really get involved when their powers are delegated, or there is a problem21:35
pleia2me, hypatia or elky can be the owner, if there is a serious problem we just swing by #launchpad and get it sorted21:36
pleia2no big21:36
macook21:36
AlanBellI have been talking about getting this started up again https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuForAll21:37
AlanBellwhich kind of groups together various non-loco projects21:37
AlanBellnot as a council "above" them or anything21:38
AlanBellmore wrapping around them21:38
AlanBelllike a great big hug :-)21:38
pleia2yeah, elky started that ages ago21:38
* pleia2 still on the mailing list :)21:38
AlanBellyes, I spoke to her about it21:38
AlanBellsomewhere to put the younglings project too21:39
* pleia2 nods21:40
* MarkDude had not seen that link before. That is *exactly* what a few of us were talking about. Something like *play well with others*21:40
AlanBellas I said to elky it is kind of the ideal place for me, and probably MarkDude21:41
MichelleQoh, hey, I like that.  Good job, whoever put it together21:41
czajkowskibah have loco council on highliht21:42
czajkowskinot ideal at times21:42
czajkowski;)21:42
AlanBellsomething to check all the various teams in it are running well, have access to resources they need and so on21:43
AlanBellpleia2: what do you think needs to happen to get the Ubuntu for all thing restarted?21:45
pleia2AlanBell: I think the problem previously was that there was no clear goal for the team, nothing to talk about, after founding there was no inspiring vision21:46
pleia2it was a good idea, we all just got busy and it languished21:47
pleia2so to get it restarted... come up with that inspiring vision :)21:47
AlanBellok21:47
AlanBellwas there a launchpad team do you know (can't find one)21:48
pleia2not sure, I'd go through elky's joined teams, if anyone is on such a team, she is21:48
pleia2doesn't look like it21:49
pleia2may want to follow up with her though21:49
AlanBellI already had a long chat with her about the Ubuntu For All project21:50
AlanBellI will set up a launchpad team21:50

elkyI thought someone confirmed the election dates some time immediately after the meeting in which the election timetable was raised23:40
macoi thought so...23:49
elkyIndeed, 4hrs after that close of meeting:23:50
elky<pleia2> regarding the year term and schedule, I believe the dates that are currently on LeadershipElectionProcess are meant to be static23:50
pleia2well, they were shifted this year so I figured they should be shifted next year to match what our schedule actually was23:53
pleia2with UDS and release and tons of stuff in May we started them late :\23:53
elkyYep23:54
elkyMay was a bad month. So many things going on23:56
