The chair is pleia2. [21:06] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [PROGRESS REPORT], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [21:07] it won't be a long meeting :) I need to run out soon and we just had our session at UDS last week anyway [21:07] Agenda is here: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/Agenda [21:07] o/ [21:07] [TOPIC] Discuss time line of LeadershipElectionProcess [21:07] New Topic: Discuss time line of LeadershipElectionProcess [21:07] http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess [21:07] LINK received: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess [21:07] so this is our Leadership Election Process - obviously we missed some deadlines already [21:08] I 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 cycle [21:08] I figure we keep the same timeline, just have an end point of August rather than June [21:09] any thoughts? [21:09] is the proposal to do it this once or always change it? [21:09] AlanBell: always [21:09] UDS and release time will always be busy for most of us [21:10] that sounds good to me [21:10] august is slow times [21:10] +1 [21:10] august is when the freeze hits, so some of us will be busy, but not as many as release and USD time [21:11] (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] so every date in the process gets two months added to it? [21:11] AlanBell: yep [21:11] it would actually sync up pretty well to our expirations in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-women-leaders [21:12] since the ~ubuntu-women-leaders team wasn't actually created until august [21:12] we can just add 10 days to each and be good [21:12] in lp [21:13] if we expire does it revert somewhere? [21:14] revert? [21:14] ownership of the group [21:14] as in, who do the approval emails go to etc [21:15] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-women-leaders would still exist [21:15] one of us will still be listed as the owner even if memberships expire [21:15] ahh cool [21:15] so they'd come to me [21:15] and ~ubuntu-women still has some backup administrators other than ~ubuntu-women-leaders [21:15] cool [21:15] so they get requests too [21:17] think you are actually all set up without expiry dates, not that it matters significantly [21:17] ok, I'll wait a week to let others read the logs and things and then update our election schedule if there are no objections [21:17] none here [21:17] [ACTION] pleia2 to update LeadershipElectionProcess with new dates next week if no objections arise [21:17] ACTION received: pleia2 to update LeadershipElectionProcess with new dates next week if no objections arise [21:18] [TOPIC] Oneiric Blueprint progress [21:18] New Topic: Oneiric Blueprint progress [21:18] we have a blueprint! :) [21:18] [LINK] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-o-ubuntu-women-project-goals [21:18] LINK received: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-o-ubuntu-women-project-goals [21:18] I actually started working on [lyz] Follow up with elky for patches on the wiki: TODO [21:18] um, where did the Ada Lovelace thing go? [21:19] AlanBell: we have no volunteers to run them [21:19] AlanBell: nobody's committed to it so its not on the list yet [21:19] i 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 fort [21:20] * maco looks at akgraner [21:20] hmm, as I recall, silbs was particularly keen on the competitions and Ada Lovelace stuff at UDS-N [21:20] then the day got moved [21:21] yeah, 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 prizes [21:21] volunteers to do what? [21:21] organize the contest [21:21] I can help. [21:21] I can help [21:22] make the wiki page, collect entries, everything, I don't know what all is involved, I wasn't involved last time [21:22] I can talk to elky and figure out what needs to be done, document it on the wiki, and help run it along with AlanBell. [21:23] [ACTION] nigelb to talk to elky and figure out what needs to be done, document it on the wiki, and help run it along with AlanBell [21:23] ACTION received: nigelb to talk to elky and figure out what needs to be done, document it on the wiki, and help run it along with AlanBell [21:23] I have Ada Lovelace on our Loco plan of stuff [21:23] * nigelb ^5 AlanBell [21:23] was waiting for a lead on exactly what to do for it from UW [21:24] thanks nigelb, AlanBell [21:24] * pleia2 won't be at southeast linuxfest [21:24] maco: maybe post to the list and see if there is interest? [21:25] i tried calling akgraner's phone, but pgraner answered and said he didnt know if she was going [21:25] any other women headed to OLF? No idea when a table there would need to be claimed [21:25] Cheri703: 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 booth [21:25] that makes sense [21:26] the gnome booth was empty at SELF & OLF last year [21:26] that's disappointing [21:26] kde was there :) [21:26] ah yes, so my progress on the blueprint, I submitted a bunch of bugs against our theme: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org [21:26] I'm going to try to set up a moin instance to fix some of them [21:27] maco, sorry waiting on another call which will determine if I'll even be at SELF [21:27] akgraner: ok [21:27] dislocated kneecap and waiting to see about surgery [21:27] annalee might come to SELF with me, but that's not for sure yet [21:27] OUCH [21:28] * nigelb hugs akgraner [21:28] [TOPIC] Ubuntu Developer Summit Oneiric wrap-up [21:28] New Topic: Ubuntu Developer Summit Oneiric wrap-up [21:28] Went well I think :) notes from our session are here: http://pad.ubuntu.com/ep/pad/view/ro.xMcFNCzMydpqUTYeEEC7pvwsmPuWHQQD7h5PXvhVPEKpv/rev.1218 [21:29] yeah i think it went super well [21:29] we pretty much formalized the blueprint and then talked to folks from italian and vancouver teams about how they are doing with outreach to women [21:29] I'll be following up with them soon to get their tips into a document of our own (added this to the blueprint) [21:29] audio here btw http://mirrors.tumbleweed.org.za/uds-o/2011-05-12-09-55-community-o-ubuntu-women-project-goals.ogg [21:30] best UW UDS session ever! [21:30] now I need to run :) [21:30] :D [21:30] thanks everyone! [21:30] #endmeeting [21:30] Meeting finished at 20:30. [21:30] fast meeting! [21:30] :) [21:31] thank you. [21:31] nigelb: did we really just volunteer for that?? [21:32] AlanBell: yes we did :) [21:32] AlanBell: I think I'll try to pull in a few people to help us though :) [21:32] * nigelb looks at Cheri703 and jledbetter [21:32] that would be good [21:33] I barely know what it is...though that hasn't always stopped me from jumping in before >.> [21:33] My window flashed. [21:33] http://findingada.com/ [21:34] Ah, looks like it's taken :) Cool [21:34] jledbetter: 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] the day is on 7th October 2011 [21:35] I know NOTHING about this [21:35] there's 5 months to go [21:35] Cheri703: we are all making this up as we go along [21:35] +1 there. [21:35] ok [21:35] What about the blogging stuff? That in there? Yes, I could scroll up but deadlines. ;) [21:35] * Cheri703 wins, prize = something awesome [21:36] I think it's this: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/WorldPlayDay [21:36] so far we know that there have been competitions done before for other events, like world play day [21:36] that was generally considered a success [21:37] Jane Silber expressed approval and interest in doing further competitions [21:37] Great [21:37] They're normally aimed at the younger generation, right? [21:37] yes [21:38] well actually [21:38] world play day was children [21:38] Linux Format and Canonical have both said they would be happy to be approached for sponsorship/prizes [21:38] i think for ada lovelace it was grownup women writing about how they got into ubuntu? [21:38] http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/InternationalWomensDay/HowIDiscoveredUbuntu [21:38] oh IWD, not ALD [21:38] maco: it was just a general blogging effort as I recall [21:38] AlanBell: i mean the story competition, remember? [21:38] there wasn't an Ada Lovelace competition as such [21:39] yeah it was IWD, not ALD [21:39] yup [21:39] that was in answer to the "generation" thing [21:39] ah, ok [21:39] I don't think Ada Lovelace is about the younger generation particularly [21:40] what's the competition per se for Ada Lovelace day? [21:40] (define younger generation) [21:40] World Play Day is kids, IWD was grownups [21:40] mentioned ALD was a brain fart [21:40] you're right that ALD was blogging, no competition [21:42] so 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) [21:48] seems a little more UK/London based than I had expected [21:49] the map seems to suggest that it does have global significance though [21:51] ALD? [21:51] i blogged for both of the previous ones...had the impression it was internet-wide [21:52] yeah, just reading through http://findingada.com/events/
