jledbetter | o/ | 21:01 |
Pendulum | o/ | 21:01 |
pleia2 | ok, so my plan for this meeting is to quickly review all our natty blueprints to see where we are, and then to do a little discussion about our plans for the oneiric cycle | 21:02 |
maco | oh im here too o/ | 21:02 |
pleia2 | [TOPIC] Ubuntu Women UDS-N Goals blueprint | 21:02 |
Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Ubuntu Women UDS-N Goals blueprint | 21:02 |

Mootbot-UK | LINK received: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/ubuntutheproject-community-n-ubuntu-women-project-goals | 21:02 |
pleia2 | so, as far as this specific blueprint we had to defer the blogging and contest stuff because they moved ada lovelace day | 21:02 |
pleia2 | in it's place we ended up doing work on increasing UDS diversity, so I don't really see this as a failure, we kept busy :) | 21:03 |
pleia2 | [alanbell/lyz] work to get new wiki theme approved and into the wiki: INPROGRESS | 21:03 |
AlanBell | o/ | 21:03 |
pleia2 | elky wanted to submit some patches, but she's in the middle of a big move so it's been difficult | 21:04 |
pleia2 | http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/NewWikiTheme has details if you want to check out the new theme though :) | 21:04 |
Mootbot-UK | LINK received: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/NewWikiTheme has details if you want to check out the new theme though :) | 21:04 |
pleia2 | that's pretty much it for this blueprint, comments? | 21:05 |
maco | looks nice | 21:05 |
pleia2 | [TOPIC] Ubuntu Women Mentoring Partnerships blueprint | 21:05 |
Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Ubuntu Women Mentoring Partnerships blueprint | 21:05 |
pleia2 | [LINK] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/ubuntutheproject-community-n-ubuntu-women-mentor-partnerships | 21:06 |
Mootbot-UK | LINK received: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/ubuntutheproject-community-n-ubuntu-women-mentor-partnerships | 21:06 |
pleia2 | we got most of this done :) | 21:06 |
pleia2 | the last one was sorta waiting on the beginners team changing their mentoring structure a bit, so it'll probably be bumped to next cycle | 21:06 |
pleia2 | comments? questions? | 21:07 |
jledbetter | pleia2, Changing? | 21:07 |
pleia2 | jledbetter: this cycle they changed names of things, now have mentors and masters | 21:07 |
pleia2 | and want to change names further | 21:08 |
pleia2 | I'm sorta waiting until things stabilize | 21:08 |
jledbetter | Yeah, true. | 21:08 |
AlanBell | I have a lovely project for a new developer | 21:08 |
pleia2 | AlanBell: maybe post the opportunity to the list? | 21:09 |
pleia2 | I think we've done a poor job reaching out to folks who say "I'm a programmer, what can I do to help?" | 21:09 |
AlanBell | yeah, would like to discuss after the meeting | 21:09 |
pleia2 | mostly I point them at bug triage and app developer week stuff, but it's not very targeted :\ | 21:09 |
jledbetter | Right. | 21:10 |
pleia2 | but let's move on to Oneiric stuff, since we can pretty much say Natty is done (release is next week :)) | 21:10 |
pleia2 | [TOPIC] Oneiric Blueprint | 21:10 |
Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Oneiric Blueprint | 21:10 |
pleia2 | [LINK] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-o-ubuntu-women-project-goals | 21:10 |
Mootbot-UK | LINK received: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-o-ubuntu-women-project-goals | 21:10 |
pleia2 | we'll be having a session at UDS (May 9-13, uds.ubuntu.com) which can be attended remotely | 21:11 |
pleia2 | so on my short list for this blueprint: leadership elections (our terms in LP expire 2010-08-11), finish website/wiki work, continue mentoring, ada lovelace blogging/contest that we deferred | 21:12 |
Pendulum | I think that's a fair bit of work for one cycle :P | 21:12 |
pleia2 | yeah, we'll have to define exactly what we need to do for each of these | 21:13 |
pleia2 | mentoring is the huge one, so we need specific tasks again | 21:13 |
pleia2 | http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Mentoring describes our current process | 21:13 |
Mootbot-UK | LINK received: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Mentoring describes our current process | 21:13 |
pleia2 | (not much of a process) | 21:14 |
pleia2 | so I'm thinking we can encourage each other to do things like AlanBell's having a new develop project he can give someone, and in general being better about targeted "stuff to do" | 21:14 |
pleia2 | not sure what else :) | 21:16 |
pleia2 | even if they don't end up on the blueprint for this cycle, anyone else have ideas of what we should be doing as a project? | 21:17 |
pleia2 | things you've seen other diversity projects do? ways that we can improve current things we do? | 21:17 |
maco | you know the photos we have of the person in each interview? | 21:17 |
Cheri703-mobile | I think reaching out to locos might be good | 21:18 |
maco | i think itd be neat to have a collage made up of those on the website | 21:18 |
pleia2 | maco: good idea | 21:18 |
jledbetter | maco, Neat | 21:18 |
pleia2 | Cheri703-mobile: to offer them help to increase the number of women? | 21:18 |
maco | i'd like to know how to do that! | 21:18 |
maco | i'm the only woman in my LoCo | 21:18 |
Cheri703-mobile | Yeah, or even helping them know there IS uw | 21:19 |
Cheri703-mobile | So the women they do have can be aware | 21:19 |
maco | i'm probably not going to Ohio LinuxFest this year because the folk festival where the LoCo always sets up a booth is that weekend, and women don't visit the booth if it's *all men* (the guys noticed this the first year they had me there) | 21:19 |
pleia2 | maco: wow, interesting | 21:20 |
pleia2 | Cheri703-mobile: maybe we can put together some kind of document that discusses some of the ways to attract a more diverse crowd? | 21:21 |
pleia2 | I wrote an article in full circle magazine a couple years back, the how-to encourage women in linux document has some goodies | 21:21 |
Cheri703-mobile | Even just helping to point out stuff like that, not just helping increase female participation, but encouraging the ones they have | 21:21 |
maco | pleia2: when i went to lunch, they noticed the sudden demographic change in visitors | 21:22 |
Cheri703-mobile | Yeah jledbetter | 21:22 |
maco | our LoCo has a document we put on the table with info for women that has blurbs and URLs for UW, LinuxChix, DrupalChix, etc. | 21:23 |
maco | i'll try to get a copy of it from kjcole | 21:23 |
pleia2 | we often have the little UW business cards or fliers from http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Resources at events | 21:23 |
Cheri703-mobile | I will be using those next weekend, we are having a loco event | 21:24 |
pleia2 | yay :) | 21:24 |
pleia2 | I actually really like creating a page on our wiki for this stuff that we can show our loco teams as a blueprint item | 21:24 |
Cheri703-mobile | Possibly also putting some of that on spread ubuntu | 21:25 |
pleia2 | oh yes, good idea! | 21:25 |
Cheri703-mobile | I didn't know about the uw page, but skim spread ubuntu on occasion | 21:26 |
* pleia2 nods | 21:26 | |
pleia2 | ok, good, we have a nice list now | 21:29 |
pleia2 | I think I'll touch base with MichelleQ regarding mentoring, she took the lead here at the last UDS but she's gotten quite busy | 21:29 |
pleia2 | see what ideas she has for goals in the next cycle and whether she can help | 21:30 |
jledbetter | And how we can, especially BT | 21:30 |
pleia2 | yeah, improving partnerships with other teams should be a priority | 21:31 |
Cheri703-mobile | can someone email me all of the links from this meeting? | 21:31 |
maco | Cheri703-mobile: i think the logs should be sent to the mailing list later... | 21:31 |
pleia2 | yeah, the logs with all the links will be posted on the wiki | 21:31 |
maco | or a link to them, at least | 21:32 |
pleia2 | I can email them to you directly though, Mootbot-UK gives me a big ole PM log | 21:32 |
pleia2 | oh, and this is our last meeting until UDS | 21:32 |
Cheri703-mobile | Ok, that'd be great | 21:32 |
pleia2 | hypatia, Cheri703 and I will be there in person :) | 21:33 |
pleia2 | and others | 21:33 |
maco | pleia2: can i talk stats now? | 21:33 |
* Cheri703-mobile is super excited | 21:34 | |
pleia2 | we'll post remote participation details and timing for everything before the session | 21:34 |
pleia2 | [TOPIC] Developer Statistics | 21:34 |
Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Developer Statistics | 21:34 |
pleia2 | maco: all yours! | 21:34 |
maco | Today I used AlanBell's team crawling script and found that there are 168 members of ~ubuntu-dev. Of those, 7 are women, making 4.2%. This is pretty close to our 5% member stat, so that points to fairly equal participation in development versus other things | 21:35 |
maco | The rate of women joining ~ubuntu-dev has also been increasing. In 2007, there was one woman added. Another in 2008, 2 in 2009, and 3 last year | 21:36 |
pleia2 | yay! | 21:36 |
maco | (Though I can say that at the moment, there are no women with their names up for application, at least through the DMB https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/Agenda ) | 21:37 |
* valorie is late, but I'm here | 21:37 | |
pleia2 | it's nice to see us making progress anyway | 21:38 |
pleia2 | thanks for digging this up, maco :) | 21:38 |
valorie | that's awesome, maco | 21:39 |
maco | Oh! And next Wednesday is the 1 year anniversary for Leann and Ara joining ~ubuntu-dev | 21:39 |
pleia2 | nice :D | 21:39 |
AlanBell | will there be cake? | 21:39 |
jledbetter | heh | 21:40 |
hypatia | hey sorry i'm late | 21:42 |

Mootbot-UK | New Topic: Announcements, other misc | 21:42 |
pleia2 | anything else before we wrap up? | 21:42 |
* hypatia reads backscroll super quick | 21:42 | |
pleia2 | from yesterday: | 21:42 |
pleia2 | 14:06:26 < akgraner> Hey all (I'll send this to the mailing list as well) Who wants to lead a session for Ubuntu Open Week? | 21:42 |
pleia2 | 14:06:53 < akgraner> something for non-developer users to help them understand the ins and outs of Ubuntu :-) | 21:42 |
pleia2 | 14:21:38 < akgraner> if you don't want to lead a session are there any sessions you would like to attend - topic suggestions welcome...then I can track people down :-) | 21:42 |
hypatia | when is open week? | 21:43 |
pleia2 | right before UDS, Mon 2 May - Fri 6 May | 21:44 |

hypatia | otherwise id offer to do a security session | 21:44 |
jledbetter | hypatia, Good idea | 21:45 |
hypatia | how often is OW? | 21:45 |
pleia2 | we have done Ubuntu Women sessions at these in the past | 21:45 |
pleia2 | hypatia: twice a year | 21:45 |
hypatia | cool | 21:45 |
pleia2 | our last UW session was a year ago, but I think the project is pretty well-established and accepted now, even at that one I felt we were preaching to a choir :) | 21:46 |
maco | "women" is now the biggest tag in my blog's tag cloud | 21:46 |
hypatia | :) | 21:46 |
pleia2 | ok, anything else? | 21:47 |
