[01:14] <pleia2> ok, we now have rt.ubuntu.com #17485 for getting a blog set up, we'll see what they say :)
[01:31] <jledbetter> Fantastic :)
[15:58] <pleia2> wow
[15:58] <pleia2> http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/
[15:59] <hypatia> :D
[15:59] <hypatia> that was quick!
[15:59] <pleia2> quickest ever!
[15:59] <hypatia> :D :D :D
[16:00] <Cheri703> nice!
[16:06] <svaksha> cool
[16:14] <Pendulum> pleia2: I didn't know they were allowed to approve things that quickly ;-)
[16:16] <pleia2> Pendulum: me neither :) it took us weeks to get the xubuntu wordpress *staging* site set up
[16:17] <pleia2> but maybe since they've approved wordpress they've been working through a quick deployment process
[16:20] <Pendulum> *nods*
[16:27] <Pendulum> is it a full moon?
[16:28] <maco> pleia2: did 3 months pass and i missed it?
[16:28] <pleia2> lol
[17:35] <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".
[17:57] <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)
[17:58] <pleia2> of course, but we're talking about our "Best Practices For Attracting More Women To Your Team"
[18:03] <pleia2> (anyway spouse can be male or female)
[18:05] <vish> Flossie > https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2011-July/030750.html
[18:06] <pleia2> cool
[18:10] <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

[18:59] <pleia2> :)
[19:00] <hypatia> pleia2: omg!
[19:01] <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 :)
[19:04] <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?
[19:05] <pleia2> I included that, technically the business cards were free (they send out deals for free stuff every 25 seconds)
[20:18] <pleia2> ok, before I let it into the wild properly, comments? http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/
[20:19] <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!)
[20:22] <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
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <maco> i think its even the default
[20:26] <pleia2> yeah, wp
[20:26] <pleia2> maco: want an account on it? I can set it up now
[20:26] <maco> sure
[20:27] <pleia2> which email address to use? and what username?
[20:41] <maco> we now have Akismet setup on the blog
[20:41] <pleia2> thanks maco!
[20:41] <pleia2> wanna check the comment settings for sanity?
[20:42] <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)
[21:29] <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?)
[21:34] <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"
[21:41] <pleia2> JanC: we're going to work on the theme next cycle
[21:42] <pleia2> we've got too much going on right now (and still have a wiki theme to complete!)
[21:42] <JanC> ☺
[22:44] <valorie> I like the theme as it is - simple
[23:11] <pleia2> there, the links are now the same orange as our logo
[23:34] <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)
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <pleia2> haha, wow
[23:37] <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
[23:39] <Cheri703> also, that video is insane
[23:39]  * Cheri703 had never seen it before, sorry for inflicting it on you guys
[23:40] <pleia2> hahaha
[23:41] <Cheri703> o.O
[23:41] <Cheri703> for anyone reading the logs...sorry
[23:44] <AlanBell> I did some wordpress theme modifications for ubuntu-uk.org
