| pleia2 | ok, we now have rt.ubuntu.com #17485 for getting a blog set up, we'll see what they say :) | 01:14 |
|---|---|---|
| jledbetter | Fantastic :) | 01:31 |
| pleia2 | wow | 15:58 |
| pleia2 | http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/ | 15:58 |
| hypatia | :D | 15:59 |
| hypatia | that was quick! | 15:59 |
| pleia2 | quickest ever! | 15:59 |
| hypatia | :D :D :D | 15:59 |
| Cheri703 | nice! | 16:00 |
| svaksha | cool | 16:06 |
| Pendulum | pleia2: I didn't know they were allowed to approve things that quickly ;-) | 16:14 |
| pleia2 | Pendulum: me neither :) it took us weeks to get the xubuntu wordpress *staging* site set up | 16:16 |
| pleia2 | but maybe since they've approved wordpress they've been working through a quick deployment process | 16:17 |
| Pendulum | *nods* | 16:20 |
| Pendulum | is it a full moon? | 16:27 |
| maco | pleia2: did 3 months pass and i missed it? | 16:28 |
| pleia2 | lol | 16:28 |
| MichelleQ | jledbetter: there's something obvious missing from that list. The loco members need to 1) be told, and 2) tell their spouses that spouses are welcome. I can't tell you how many of the wives/so's/girlfriends of our team said "I really didn't think I was invited". | 17:35 |
| JanC | and the same for husbands/boyfriends/children/parents/...? ;) (in case they are not (yet) active in the loco, and if bringing them along makes it more likely that somebody comes to a loco event) | 17:57 |
| pleia2 | of course, but we're talking about our "Best Practices For Attracting More Women To Your Team" | 17:58 |
| pleia2 | (anyway spouse can be male or female) | 18:03 |
| vish | Flossie > https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2011-July/030750.html | 18:05 |
| pleia2 | cool | 18:06 |
| JanC | pleia2: being allowed/encouraged to bring along somebody else might convince the woman/girl to come herself, in some cases, I think? | 18:10 |
| pleia2 | JanC: of course everyone should be made welcome | 18:10 |

| pleia2 | :) | 18:59 |
| hypatia | pleia2: omg! | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | I am in love with the simplicity of the magnet (I got 25 of them) | 19:01 |
| pleia2 | the post card could have been formatted better, since the dimensions of the image were made for the business card, but it works :) | 19:01 |
| pleia2 | 500 business cards, 100 post cards, 25 magnets cost me about $15 w/ shipping | 19:04 |
| maco | and $5 to upload image i think? | 19:04 |
| pleia2 | I included that, technically the business cards were free (they send out deals for free stuff every 25 seconds) | 19:05 |
| pleia2 | ok, before I let it into the wild properly, comments? http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/ | 20:18 |
| pleia2 | the idea of writing a theme and going through the process of getting it approved and installed kinda makes me want to crawl into a hole, so I'm inclined to stick with default until later | 20:19 |
| pleia2 | (maybe next cycle :) we have wiki theme to finish!) | 20:19 |
| pleia2 | also wondering whether we should keep comments enabled, I'm tempted to go with "everything gets moderated" because I don't want cruel/painful/triggery stuff showing up | 20:22 |
| maco | is it wp? | 20:24 |
| maco | wp has a "moderate a user's first comment then once they're approved let them through from then on" setting | 20:24 |
| maco | i think its even the default | 20:25 |
| pleia2 | yeah, wp | 20:26 |
| pleia2 | maco: want an account on it? I can set it up now | 20:26 |
| maco | sure | 20:26 |
| pleia2 | which email address to use? and what username? | 20:27 |
| maco | we now have Akismet setup on the blog | 20:41 |
| pleia2 | thanks maco! | 20:41 |
| pleia2 | wanna check the comment settings for sanity? | 20:41 |
| maco | If I ever leave, someone has to get a new API key though because i didn't choose the free option but if i'm not involved i'm not going to want to pay anymore either :P | 20:42 |
| maco | (it's "pay what you like" for non-business blogs) | 20:42 |
| JanC | pleia2: if you are looking for comments on the theme, the "header" part is way to high IMO (I'm pretty sure all content is out of view on a netbook?) | 21:29 |
| JanC | scratch that question mark, I had a look on my EEE 900 and the bottom of the screen is about halfway the black horizontal "menu bar" | 21:34 |
| pleia2 | JanC: we're going to work on the theme next cycle | 21:41 |
| pleia2 | we've got too much going on right now (and still have a wiki theme to complete!) | 21:42 |
| JanC | ☺ | 21:42 |
| valorie | I like the theme as it is - simple | 22:44 |
| pleia2 | there, the links are now the same orange as our logo | 23:11 |
| pleia2 | can someone mail the list about UDS sponsorship opening up? I updated http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/UDS (as updated as it'll get for now) | 23:34 |
| pleia2 | but I have to email the list about the blog, and I think people might get sick of hearing from me :) | 23:35 |
| nigelb | Is it just me or is sponsorship process really early this time? | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | it's really early, yay! | 23:35 |
| Cheri703 | that was something we asked about, so people could get visas and such | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | I hear some people need to get VISAs and things | 23:35 |
| * pleia2 nudges nigelb | 23:35 | |
| nigelb | *cough* | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | Mr. I-got-my-visa-12-hours-before-my-flight | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | :) | 23:35 |
| nigelb | hehe | 23:35 |
| nigelb | pleia2: highvoltage has a better one. 2 to 3 hours before flight :D | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | haha, wow | 23:36 |
| Cheri703 | every time I see his sn, I have the chorus from this run through my head >.< http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a4gyJsY0mc | 23:37 |
| nigelb | lol | 23:37 |
| Cheri703 | also, that video is insane | 23:39 |
| * Cheri703 had never seen it before, sorry for inflicting it on you guys | 23:39 | |
| pleia2 | hahaha | 23:40 |
| Cheri703 | o.O | 23:41 |
| Cheri703 | for anyone reading the logs...sorry | 23:41 |
| AlanBell | I did some wordpress theme modifications for ubuntu-uk.org | 23:44 |
