[01:14] ok, we now have rt.ubuntu.com #17485 for getting a blog set up, we'll see what they say :) [01:31] Fantastic :) [15:58] wow [15:58] http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/ [15:59] :D [15:59] that was quick! [15:59] quickest ever! [15:59] :D :D :D [16:00] nice! [16:06] cool [16:14] pleia2: I didn't know they were allowed to approve things that quickly ;-) [16:16] Pendulum: me neither :) it took us weeks to get the xubuntu wordpress *staging* site set up [16:17] but maybe since they've approved wordpress they've been working through a quick deployment process [16:20] *nods* [16:27] is it a full moon? [16:28] pleia2: did 3 months pass and i missed it? [16:28] lol [17:35] 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] 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] of course, but we're talking about our "Best Practices For Attracting More Women To Your Team" [18:03] (anyway spouse can be male or female) [18:05] Flossie > https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2011-July/030750.html [18:06] cool [18:10] pleia2: being allowed/encouraged to bring along somebody else might convince the woman/girl to come herself, in some cases, I think? [18:10] JanC: of course everyone should be made welcome [18:59] http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/5940406445 [18:59] :) [19:00] pleia2: omg! [19:01] I am in love with the simplicity of the magnet (I got 25 of them) [19:01] 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] 500 business cards, 100 post cards, 25 magnets cost me about $15 w/ shipping [19:04] and $5 to upload image i think? [19:05] I included that, technically the business cards were free (they send out deals for free stuff every 25 seconds) [20:18] ok, before I let it into the wild properly, comments? http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/ [20:19] 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] (maybe next cycle :) we have wiki theme to finish!) [20:22] 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] is it wp? [20:24] wp has a "moderate a user's first comment then once they're approved let them through from then on" setting [20:25] i think its even the default [20:26] yeah, wp [20:26] maco: want an account on it? I can set it up now [20:26] sure [20:27] which email address to use? and what username? [20:41] we now have Akismet setup on the blog [20:41] thanks maco! [20:41] wanna check the comment settings for sanity? [20:42] 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] (it's "pay what you like" for non-business blogs) [21:29] 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] 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] JanC: we're going to work on the theme next cycle [21:42] we've got too much going on right now (and still have a wiki theme to complete!) [21:42] ☺ [22:44] I like the theme as it is - simple [23:11] there, the links are now the same orange as our logo [23:34] 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] but I have to email the list about the blog, and I think people might get sick of hearing from me :) [23:35] Is it just me or is sponsorship process really early this time? [23:35] it's really early, yay! [23:35] that was something we asked about, so people could get visas and such [23:35] I hear some people need to get VISAs and things [23:35] * pleia2 nudges nigelb [23:35] *cough* [23:35] Mr. I-got-my-visa-12-hours-before-my-flight [23:35] :) [23:35] hehe [23:35] pleia2: highvoltage has a better one. 2 to 3 hours before flight :D [23:36] haha, wow [23:37] 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] lol [23:39] also, that video is insane [23:39] * Cheri703 had never seen it before, sorry for inflicting it on you guys [23:40] hahaha [23:41] o.O [23:41] for anyone reading the logs...sorry [23:44] I did some wordpress theme modifications for ubuntu-uk.org
