| elky | Who owns this one? | 11:11 |
| elky | czajkowski? | 11:12 |
| vish | elky: oh hey! i did think about a few ideas for the pollka logo [one! ;p] i was thinking of "Speak UP, let your voice count!" ,i'm still looking for an inspirational quote that fits that :) | 11:12 |
| czajkowski | I *think* pleia2 but not certain | 11:12 |
| elky | vish, that item isn't up yet | 11:13 |
| czajkowski | I'm just down as an assigne which you have to do when creating a bp | 11:13 |
| czajkowski | there is no asignee | 11:13 |
| vish | elky: oh! k.. confused by the ping.. ;) | 11:13 |
| elky | czajkowski, should we be assigning to the leadership group? | 11:13 |
| czajkowski | we didnt at the time have one | 11:14 |
| elky | Sure, but what about now that we do? | 11:14 |
| czajkowski | if you've created the leadership team I'm sure you can just assing it there | 11:14 |
| hypatia | that seems like the right place to assign it | 11:14 |
| elky | lyz created it since the last meeting iirc | 11:14 |
| czajkowski | ok let me go and assing it so once I can find the name | 11:14 |
| elky | (the iirc being the timeframe, it definitely exists) | 11:14 |
| czajkowski | any idea of the name ? | 11:14 |
| elky | ubuntu-women-leaders | 11:15 |
| czajkowski | done | 11:15 |
| czajkowski | shold be saving | 11:15 |
| czajkowski | sorry slow here fixing broken pc | 11:15 |
| elky | Knowing launchpad it might be done by the time the meeting finishes :) | 11:15 |
| elky | I'm slow because I'm trying to navigate launchpad | 11:16 |
| czajkowski | tis done | 11:17 |
| elky | ok, so the thingies on that list | 11:17 |
| elky | [lyz] Produce the documentation for Mentoring Program: INPROGRESS | 11:18 |
| elky | I believe I saw some prodding in the past fortnight, so it is still progressing | 11:18 |
| elky | pendulum's item depends on that, and so does akgraner's i think | 11:19 |
| czajkowski | well I guess they'll be at to do till pleia2 is done | 11:20 |
| czajkowski | as they're both pending on that action item | 11:20 |
| elky | I'm still yet to start on [Melissa] Re: Ubuntu-Women.org - Work with the design team to define the design direction: but I have now seen the guts of the wp theme | 11:20 |
| elky | I don't know where lyz is with [lyz] Re: Ubuntu-Women.org - Identify content to be re-developed: TODO but i think that which is on the site but not on the wiki is probably a good shortlist | 11:21 |
| elky | [topic] Follow-up on fixed election dates - elky | 11:22 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Follow-up on fixed election dates - elky | 11:22 |

| vish | elky: oh ! i did think about a few ideas for the pollka logo [one! ;p] i was thinking of "Speak UP, let your voice count!" ,i'm still looking for an inspirational quote that fits that :) | 11:27 |
| * hypatia would love to do a security review on it and help people learn how to do that | 11:28 | |
| hypatia | :) | 11:28 |
| vish | elky: what do you think of that idea ? | 11:28 |
| vish | elky: http://www.theinsider.com/photos/1233584_Jessica_Alba_Hannibal_Lector_Ad | 11:28 |
| elky | Uh... | 11:29 |
| vish | that ^ was the starting point , when i was looking around for ideas.. | 11:29 |
| vish | elky: we wont use that of-course ;p | 11:29 |
| elky | We'll think about it. DoctorMo is also working on ideas too, so we'll definitely get something that fits one way or the other. | 11:31 |
| vish | wfm .. :) | 11:31 |
| elky | Ok moving on. | 11:32 |
| vish | elky: sry, i didnt have much free time to think either, nigelb had poked me the other day for a pollka logo , and i came up with the initial ideas.. | 11:32 |
| elky | [topic] Proposing a new blueprint - Proposal for a Mentoring Partnerships framework | 11:32 |
| Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Proposing a new blueprint - Proposal for a Mentoring Partnerships framework | 11:32 |

| Mootbot-UK | LINK received: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/MentoringPartnersSpec for the spec | 11:34 |
| hypatia | so i guess i wanted to clarify whether my addition was in the right direction, elky | 11:34 |
| hypatia | within this framework do you see us doing the actual "matchmaking"? | 11:34 |
| elky | I'm onluy just getting a chance to look at it now | 11:34 |
| elky | What I'd put down was just my POV and I was hoping people would chip in and build upon it | 11:35 |
| * hypatia nods | 11:35 | |
| elky | I think the asking for qualifications is going to turn some potential mentees off | 11:36 |
| * svaksha suggests asking mentors (hint, motu's) to list themselves and the kind of mentoring they have time for, teh skill level they expect , etc... | 11:37 | |
| svaksha | the* | 11:37 |
| hypatia | elky: i'd want to note them all as optional | 11:37 |
| hypatia | very clearly | 11:37 |
| elky | svaksha, you mean like we already have? | 11:38 |
| svaksha | yes, we do | 11:38 |
| hypatia | or, we can just ask for a freeform "experience level" field that includes education/quals | 11:38 |
| elky | svaksha, this isn't to replace what we have, it's to add on to what we have :) | 11:38 |
| hypatia | (keep in mind that the form i linked to was for career, not necessarily technical, mentoring) | 11:38 |
| * svaksha was not suggesting a replacement | 11:38 | |
| hypatia | we'll definitely be re-asking folks | 11:39 |
| elky | hypatia, i'd avoid asking mentees at all. people often don't fill forms out because they can't fill in the optional fields; thinking that if they're there then it's important even if not essential | 11:39 |
| elky | svaksha, but we don't want to be maintaining 2 lists. we already have that list :) | 11:40 |
| hypatia | hmm, good point | 11:40 |
| elky | hypatia, and we're talking people who Don't Know How To Ask :-/ | 11:40 |
| hypatia | true@ | 11:40 |
| svaksha | elky: then all is well | 11:40 |
| elky | svaksha, cool | 11:41 |
| hypatia | so, action item - talk moar, maybe decide on a platform for taking mentee requests? | 11:41 |
| elky | hypatia, I'd like it to propose it for discussion at UDS too | 11:42 |
| hypatia | definitely | 11:42 |
| elky | [Action] Discuss the blueprint more! -- EVERYONE! | 11:42 |
| Mootbot-UK | ACTION received: Discuss the blueprint more! -- EVERYONE! | 11:42 |
| elky | hypatia correct me if I'm wrong, but neither you nor lyz can make it this time unfortunately? | 11:43 |
| hypatia | let me noodle on it a bit more, but i think it conflicts with my school stuff | 11:43 |
| hypatia | i am le sad | 11:44 |
| hypatia | i'd really love to go to the next one | 11:44 |
| hypatia | and will for sure attend this one remotely | 11:44 |
| elky | Which in theory will be somewhere in the depths of .EU | 11:44 |
| hypatia | yay :D | 11:44 |
| * hypatia misses her german friends | 11:44 | |
| czajkowski | aye every 6 months it changes from USA to EU | 11:45 |
| elky | czajkowski, we're still taking bets on when it ends up somewhere classified as Asia | 11:45 |
| czajkowski | also to note deadline for applying for sponsorship is soon | 11:46 |
| elky | Yup | 11:46 |
| czajkowski | The deadline for sponsorship closes on 8th September 2010. | 11:46 |
| elky | I'll be applying tonight if we agree to put the blueprint forth for uds-n :) | 11:46 |
| czajkowski | you dont have to have a bp to go to UDS | 11:47 |
| czajkowski | but sure just apply | 11:47 |
| czajkowski | but also do a bp, bp are not dependant on UDS or not | 11:47 |
| elky | well, i wanted to mention it in the form if it was ok to propose it :) | 11:47 |
| czajkowski | can tbe done either way | 11:47 |
| hypatia | oh yeah, it's a whole week, i for sure can't go :( | 11:47 |
| elky | hypatia, :( | 11:47 |
| czajkowski | so I dont get the saying ppl will apply to uds pending a bp | 11:47 |
| hypatia | czajkowski: she meant the specific bp we were talking about | 11:48 |
| elky | czajkowski, putting it in the form that asks what you'll do at uds Id guess | 11:48 |
| czajkowski | elky: ok I take that point, but ya don't have to is my point. | 11:48 |
| czajkowski | hypatia: aye got ti | 11:48 |
| czajkowski | *it | 11:48 |
| elky | I know I don't have to. | 11:48 |
| elky | It won't be my first UDS | 11:48 |
| elky | Now however, does anyone object to me putting it forth as a UW thing? | 11:49 |
| elky | which is what I was tryign to ask up there | 11:49 |
| * hypatia thinks it's a great idea | 11:49 | |
| czajkowski | as I said, it can be done either way, so yeah no problem | 11:50 |
| svaksha | elky: put what forth as a UW thing? mentoring? | 11:50 |
| * svaksha thought mentoring was always a UW thing :) | 11:51 | |
| czajkowski | svaksha: a lot of loco teams do it | 11:51 |
| elky | svaksha, the blueprint | 11:51 |
| hypatia | the inter-org mentoring cooperation stuff, svaksha | 11:51 |
| svaksha | czajkowski: yup they do but mentoring was one of the core things with UW | 11:51 |
| svaksha | yeah , we should see how we can collaborate more | 11:52 |
| elky | Ok, i'll action it then | 11:53 |
| hypatia | woot | 11:53 |
