Some of the managers I know have gad over 10 + years of leadership training it would be nice to just get their feedback [11:37] DarkwingDuck, I'm going to add to the wiki page today and create a TOC and some place holder pagers [11:37] pages even [11:40] DarkwingDuck, can you add the doodle poll link to the topic please....my kids are late for school so someone has to take them. I'll bbiab...:-) [13:15] Thanks everyone who has voted so far === akgraner changed the topic of #ubuntu-leadership to: Topic for #ubuntu-leadership is: Welcome to the Ubuntu Leadership Team - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuLeadership | *REMINDER* Vote for Ubuntu Leadership Meeting poll at - http://www.doodle.com/f955yyub63n24nha - Poll Closes on Friday, September 23, 2011. [13:36] I'm adding comments to a few of the documents...just want to make sure we keep all the references straight and the tools easy :-) [13:37] I am loving the suggestions and lists - you all are AWESOME! [13:39] I'll also be putting the handbook in an actual book format - (Same format we use for the official ubuntu book) then I'll send it to team members to edit with explanation on how to do so...:-) (This way you all learn how to edit should you be asked to help with projects like that :-) as we are always looking for new tech reviewers and stuff) [13:39] so if you already know what we use and how to add edits then it's a win all the way around [14:09] YoBoY, hey! [14:09] hey akgraner :) [14:09] will you be at UDS? [14:09] You have the coolest suggestions for things [14:09] I haven't applied :] and I'm not yet decided ¬_¬ (too much work) [14:10] I really like getting your feedback [14:10] :) [14:10] ahh ok [14:10] well please as all this starts shaping up please give feedback especially if I use to much American phrasing and stuff.... [14:11] you can always have my feedback :) if i don't go I'll try to participate on irc ;) [14:11] I try to keep an inclusive international filter on things, but sometime the redneck in me just comes jumping out :-) [14:13] cool :) but so far you are doing great [14:13] thank you - just keep me on track :-) [14:13] I have to take time to read the leadership book ^^" [14:14] remember it is just starting out so it isn't formated correctly and it's a very rough draft [14:14] I'll work on format this week [14:15] ok :) [14:24] akgraner: don't worry too much about localisms, we all do it. I have to keep toning down the ocker in me. [14:24] head_victim, :-) I just try to be aware of it [14:30] Hi ppl [14:30] I need your opinion [14:31] I know it's a weired idea [14:31] it is not related to leadership project [14:32] ashams, what's up [14:32] akgraner: what if we make an appreciation day [14:32] it would be something like a feast [14:32] where everybody thank everybody [14:33] one day every year [14:33] I think this joyness can/will revive activity and will give ppl a reason to suffer all the year-long :) [14:33] I like that - but what I'd like to do as well along those lines is revive "Hall of Fame) [14:33] like a free hug day ? ^^" [14:33] and have one day a month where we blog about people all day etc [14:33] YoBoY: yeah, something like this [14:33] kinda like we do for Ada Lovelace Day and others [14:34] akgraner: yeah [14:34] but it can be only once a year [14:34] so we keep it's joyness [14:34] and make ppl wait for it [14:34] maybe it will be a big magnet to this community [14:35] imagine all locos send a thanking msgs to other locos [14:35] and devs to triaggers [14:35] and vice versa [14:35] a day to put everybody in oe circle [14:35] one@ [14:36] ashams, I think it's great [14:36] akgraner: thanks [14:36] how does this sound - let me cross reference all the Ubuntu weeks and other tech appreciation days and see if we can find a unique day [14:37] ashams, actually this fits in nicely with leadership [14:37] akgraner: gr8 [14:37] you know the first day someone started to develop into ubuntu? [14:37] leaders appreciate and thank those they lead- they find ways to motivate, recruit and retain members [14:37] so this would fit nicely [14:38] yeah, it will benift in both ways [14:38] keeping current ppl alive [14:38] and invite more ppl [14:39] there is a website listing all these "appreciation day" but I can't find it again :] [14:39] YoBoY: GR8 :) [14:39] pl, you're nice :D [14:40] YoBoY, yep I can't find it either - but we'll get it all together :-) [14:42] akgraner: YoBoY : what about 8 July 2005 ? [14:42] 2005 ? [14:43] YoBoY: oh sorry, meant every year :) [14:43] I just copied the date from wikipedia [14:49] Guys, take a look at this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2004-September/000000.html Interesting :) [14:51] souvenirs... :) === Cheesehead_away is now known as Cheesehead [17:17] Added a section on burnout. Since I'm too lazy too burnout at anything, the anecdotes are based on people I have known. [17:53] hehe [20:27] Cheesehead, too funny - I think between jono and I we have a lot of information on burnout [20:33] akgraner: Indeed, but nobody leapt up to grab that slice of the pizza. I've never burnt out. I've just kept others from burning out. [20:33] :-) [20:33] (lucky one) [20:40] Not lucky, *lazy* [20:41] Can't get on the burnout cycle if 12 steps is just to much to bother... [20:44] On the previous conversation about 6 hours ago, the hall of fame is good (needs some polish but still good) as I've used it to congratulate members in the loco who appear there. I try to make a bit of a fuss about them (tweet, email the list, tell them on IRC, etc) as it's one of the few ways we can give meaningful recognition for hard work. [20:47] we give goodies (tshirt, mug, stickers...) :) [20:48] Ah, we're a small group with no funding :/ [20:48] I'm already trying to scrounge some prizes for an installation fest I'm thinking of [20:50] It's a good measuring stick though. If you make that you've been doing some hard work in my experience. [20:52] money is always the problem on the begining [20:54] our loco started like yours, some of our first members paid for the first steps of the loco [20:55] I tend to look at things the other way around: What would people enjoy and feel fulfilled by, and work the group mission into that. [20:55] I used to do community TV, and we spend 50% of our taime making video, and 50% of our time on pizza-and-beer afterward [20:56] Never a problem finding volunteers, if 50% of out time is already fun [20:56] (I love the pizza and beer part, always the best moments :D) [20:57] Had a couple find each other and get married from it. [20:58] "Hey, everybody. Lift a glass to Scott, who ran the sound board great tonight. It was a tricky one tonight, too." [20:58] That's all the recognition we gave. [20:59] Not saying it's appropriate for a LoCo, but perhaps an idea in there somewhere. [20:59] Our loco is ancient but went into a bit of hibernation that I'm trying to help wake it from. [21:00] I always try to link social with work as well, for the install fest there will be an adjournment to a pub. [21:01] Install-based pub games? Fastest install gets a bonus at darts? [21:01] Haha [21:02] Back in video, we did great with families. Kids had pizza-and-soda, but 12-and-up still ran cameras and even directed a few times. [21:03] Do you have any links to a list of what your team created? [21:03] My team wanted streaming and video so we've opened a youtube and ustream account, they might provide some inspiration [21:05] No, I left video (changed cities) before the web and links even existed. Just some old VHS tapes in a box somewhere. [21:06] Ahh fair enough, just checking [21:06] Anyway, I should head to work. Cheerio, thanks for the thoughs [21:06] thoughts* [21:06] Take care [23:19] Hi again [23:19] Hey, about the so-called "Ubuntu Community Appreciation Day", If you have ideas, there's page for it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UCADay please modify it like you want. thanks :)
