pleia2it won't be a long meeting :) I need to run out soon and we just had our session at UDS last week anyway21:07
pleia2Agenda is here: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/Agenda21:07
IdleOneo/21:07
pleia2[TOPIC] Discuss time line of LeadershipElectionProcess21:07
Mootbot-UKNew Topic:  Discuss time line of LeadershipElectionProcess21:07
pleia2http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess21:07
Mootbot-UKLINK received:  http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess21:07
pleia2so this is our Leadership Election Process - obviously we missed some deadlines already21:07
pleia2I take responsibilty for this, release time is always crazy for me between local and UDS stuff, so my proposal is to move this to later in the cycle21:08
pleia2I figure we keep the same timeline, just have an end point of August rather than June21:08
pleia2any thoughts?21:09
AlanBellis the proposal to do it this once or always change it?21:09
pleia2AlanBell: always21:09
pleia2UDS and release time will always be busy for most of us21:09
hypatiathat sounds good to me21:10
hypatiaaugust is slow times21:10
IdleOne+121:10
pleia2august is when the freeze hits, so some of us will be busy, but not as many as release and USD time21:10
pleia2(you could argue that every point in the cycle has busy things, but I still think release/UDS time is the busiest for most of us)21:11
AlanBellso every date in the process gets two months added to it?21:11
pleia2AlanBell: yep21:11
pleia2it would actually sync up pretty well to our expirations in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-women-leaders21:11
pleia2since the ~ubuntu-women-leaders team wasn't actually created until august21:12
pleia2we can just add 10 days to each and be good21:12
pleia2in lp21:12
hypatiaif we expire does it revert somewhere?21:13
pleia2revert?21:14
hypatiaownership of the group21:14
hypatiaas in, who do the approval emails go to etc21:14
AlanBellhttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-women-leaders would still exist21:15
pleia2one of us will still be listed as the owner even if memberships expire21:15
hypatiaahh cool21:15
pleia2so they'd come to me21:15
pleia2and ~ubuntu-women still has some backup administrators other than ~ubuntu-women-leaders21:15
hypatiacool21:15
pleia2so they get requests too21:15
AlanBellthink you are actually all set up without expiry dates, not that it matters significantly21:17
pleia2ok, I'll wait a week to let others read the logs and things and then update our election schedule if there are no objections21:17
IdleOnenone here21:17
pleia2[ACTION] pleia2 to update LeadershipElectionProcess with new dates next week if no objections arise21:17

pleia2I actually started working on [lyz] Follow up with elky for patches on the wiki: TODO21:18
AlanBellum, where did the Ada Lovelace thing go?21:18
pleia2AlanBell: we have no volunteers to run them21:19
macoAlanBell: nobody's committed to it so its not on the list yet21:19
macoi have an outreach idea. Will any other UW folks be at Southeast LinuxFest? I'm thinking about requesting a UW table, but if we want to be listed in the program i have to say "yes" now, and I'd rather not be the only one to hold down the fort21:19
* maco looks at akgraner21:20
AlanBellhmm, as I recall, silbs was particularly keen on the competitions and Ada Lovelace stuff at UDS-N21:20
AlanBellthen the day got moved21:20
pleia2yeah, once we get volunteers it can be added, but people being "keen on" it aren't enough, linux pro magazine has also offered to help with prizes21:21
AlanBellvolunteers to do what?21:21
pleia2organize the contest21:21
nigelbI can help.21:21
AlanBellI can help21:21
pleia2make the wiki page, collect entries, everything, I don't know what all is involved, I wasn't involved last time21:22
nigelbI can talk to elky and figure out what needs to be done, document it on the wiki, and help run it along with AlanBell.21:22

AlanBellI have Ada Lovelace on our Loco plan of stuff21:23
* nigelb ^5 AlanBell21:23
AlanBellwas waiting for a lead on exactly what to do for it from UW21:23
pleia2thanks nigelb, AlanBell21:24
* pleia2 won't be at southeast linuxfest21:24
pleia2maco: maybe post to the list and see if there is interest?21:24
macoi tried calling akgraner's phone, but pgraner answered and said he didnt know if she was going21:25
Cheri703any other women headed to OLF? No idea when a table there would need to be claimed21:25
macoCheri703: soon. they're talking about changing how they do .org tables though due to too many no-shows... big deposit with refund if you actually show up and staff your booth21:25
Cheri703that makes sense21:25
macothe gnome booth was empty at SELF & OLF last year21:26
pleia2that's disappointing21:26
macokde was there :)21:26
pleia2ah yes, so my progress on the blueprint, I submitted a bunch of bugs against our theme: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org21:26
pleia2I'm going to try to set up a moin instance to fix some of them21:26
akgranermaco, sorry waiting on another call which will determine if I'll even be at SELF21:27
macoakgraner: ok21:27
akgranerdislocated kneecap and waiting to see about surgery21:27
macoannalee might come to SELF with me, but that's not for sure yet21:27

hypatiayeah i think it went super well21:29
pleia2we pretty much formalized the blueprint and then talked to folks from italian and vancouver teams about how they are doing with outreach to women21:29
pleia2I'll be following up with them soon to get their tips into a document of our own (added this to the blueprint)21:29
AlanBellaudio here btw http://mirrors.tumbleweed.org.za/uds-o/2011-05-12-09-55-community-o-ubuntu-women-project-goals.ogg21:29

hajour1:)21:30
IdleOnethank you.21:31
AlanBellnigelb: did we really just volunteer for that??21:31
nigelbAlanBell: yes we did :)21:32
nigelbAlanBell: I think I'll try to pull in a few people to help us though :)21:32
* nigelb looks at Cheri703 and jledbetter21:32
AlanBellthat would be good21:32
Cheri703I barely know what it is...though that hasn't always stopped me from jumping in before >.>21:33
jledbetterMy window flashed.21:33
AlanBellhttp://findingada.com/21:33
jledbetterAh, looks like it's taken :) Cool21:34
nigelbjledbetter: That was intended.  AlanBell and I volunteered to help run the competition.  We're trying to get you and Cheri703 to help us ;)21:34
AlanBellthe day is on 7th October 201121:34
Cheri703I know NOTHING about this21:35
nigelbthere's 5 months to go21:35
AlanBellCheri703: we are all making this up as we go along21:35
nigelb+1 there.21:35
Cheri703ok21:35
jledbetterWhat about the blogging stuff? That in there? Yes, I could scroll up but deadlines. ;)21:35
* Cheri703 wins, prize = something awesome21:35
jledbetterI think it's this: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/WorldPlayDay21:36
AlanBellso far we know that there have been competitions done before for other events, like world play day21:36
AlanBellthat was generally considered a success21:36
AlanBellJane Silber expressed approval and interest in doing further competitions21:37
jledbetterGreat21:37
jledbetterThey're normally aimed at the younger generation, right?21:37
macoyes21:37
macowell actually21:38
macoworld play day was children21:38
AlanBellLinux Format and Canonical have both said they would be happy to be approached for sponsorship/prizes21:38
macoi think for ada lovelace it was grownup women writing about how they got into ubuntu?21:38
AlanBellhttp://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/InternationalWomensDay/HowIDiscoveredUbuntu21:38
macooh IWD, not ALD21:38
AlanBellmaco: it was just a general blogging effort as I recall21:38
macoAlanBell: i mean the story competition, remember?21:38
AlanBellthere wasn't an Ada Lovelace competition as such21:38
macoyeah it was IWD, not ALD21:39
AlanBellyup21:39
macothat was in answer to the "generation" thing21:39
AlanBellah, ok21:39
AlanBellI don't think Ada Lovelace is about the younger generation particularly21:39
nigelbwhat's the competition per se for Ada Lovelace day?21:40
AlanBell(define younger generation)21:40
macoWorld Play Day is kids, IWD was grownups21:40
macomentioned ALD was a brain fart21:40
macoyou're right that ALD was blogging, no competition21:40
AlanBellso it should be a competition (because we haz prizes) relating to women and technology (because it is Ada Lovelace day) and Ubuntu (because it just should)21:42
AlanBellseems a little more UK/London based than I had expected21:48
AlanBellthe map seems to suggest that it does have global significance though21:49
macoALD?21:51
macoi blogged for both of the previous ones...had the impression it was internet-wide21:51
AlanBellyeah, just reading through http://findingada.com/events/21:52
