| pleia2 | nice to see a new face, welcome cfmckee! | 18:03 |
| akk | o/ | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | so we don't really have much on the agenda: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/March2012/Agenda | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | [link] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-p-ubuntu-women-project-goals | 18:03 |
| Cheri703 | oh, I forgot to add something | 18:03 |
| * Cheri703 goes to do it | 18:03 | |
| pleia2 | :) | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | akgraner has finished up her review of the mentoring program and other similar mentoring programs throughout FOSS and at the last meeting we discussed her findings | 18:04 |
| System76Chick | I am here! | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | we'll be sticking with informal, helping each other find resources on list and in channel and however we can | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | welcome System76Chick :) | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | jledbetter, nigelb - any progress on reaching out the railsbridge / pystar communities? | 18:05 |
| pleia2 | (it's ok if not, just looking for status and if you need help :)) | 18:05 |
| jledbetter | No update from me. I think nigelb emailed me but I'm a lot behind. Sorry nigelb :( | 18:05 |
| nigelb | Yeah, no update form me either. | 18:05 |
| nigelb | I'll try to get something before the next meeting | 18:05 |
| pleia2 | ok, thanks | 18:07 |
| pleia2 | as far as website stuff, ubuntu-women.org now points to wiki.ubuntu-women.org :) | 18:07 |
| Cheri703 | added :) | 18:08 |
| akgraner | o/ -sorry I'm late | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | the front page of wiki.ubuntu-women.org can only be edited by admins | 18:08 |
| jledbetter | That'll help with spammers, eh? | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | review of wiki pages for content continues, anyone can pitch in here if they find a wiki page that is out of date, either fix it or let someone know it needs to be updated | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | jledbetter: yeah, we haven't really had a problem but I don't want to end up having a problem on our main landing page | 18:09 |
| jledbetter | Good idea. | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | bad guys messing with subpages is the price we pay for collaboration (but that hasn't been a problem really either now with launchpad integration) | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | but the main landing page shouldn't need many changes, so we can keep it restricted | 18:10 |
| pleia2 | I meant to email Susan about the final blueprint item, I might have said I'd do that but then didn't | 18:10 |
| pleia2 | [action] pleia2 to email susan-spencer about UW audience profiles | 18:11 |
| meetingology | ACTION: pleia2 to email susan-spencer about UW audience profiles | 18:11 |
| pleia2 | I think that's it when it comes to the blueprint | 18:11 |
| pleia2 | #topic Call for Career Days Participation | 18:12 |
| pleia2 | Cheri703: all yours! | 18:12 |
| Cheri703 | Hey folks, we've had some awesome CareerDays sessions thus far, but...we want/need more! | 18:12 |
| pleia2 | #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/CareerDays | 18:12 |
| Cheri703 | Anyone who works in/around IT or some peripherally related field (documentation, etc) is welcome to present | 18:12 |
| Cheri703 | we basically are looking for a "day in the life" and a "how I got here" type of thing. | 18:13 |
| Cheri703 | Check out the link (thanks pleia2) for logs and examples of past sessions | 18:13 |
| Cheri703 | I'd love to find someone to present for March, but if not, definitely by April | 18:13 |
| Cheri703 | Honestly I think at this point we can/should open it up to "anyone who works doing anything that can be remotely related to being useful for ubuntu participation as well" | 18:14 |
| Cheri703 | (to at least keep it sort of relevant to u-w ;) ) | 18:14 |
| System76Chick | I know I'm not a developer, but I'm really into being a promoter and work at System76 as the press and marketing liaison | 18:15 |
| Cheri703 | Absolutely! | 18:16 |
| Cheri703 | we are not just looking for developers, we are looking for a variety of things | 18:16 |
| Cheri703 | I'm good with opening it up beyond IT, any thoughts from others? | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it may be interesting to see a session about "I don't work in IT, but my open source career is..." | 18:17 |
| Cheri703 | definitely | 18:17 |
| akk | Absolutely. | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | and I'd love to hear about System76Chick's job :) | 18:18 |
| jledbetter | Me too :) | 18:18 |
| System76Chick | Cool! I'd love to do a career days. I think it would be a good perspective because it's a totally awesome atmosphere working for an Ubuntu only company | 18:18 |
| System76Chick | and being the only woman is the most different job I've ever had! | 18:19 |
| pleia2 | great | 18:19 |
| pleia2 | Cheri703: want to coordinate and then just let me know so I can add it to the classroom calendar? | 18:20 |
| Cheri703 | anyone interested in participating, please either add yourself to the wiki page, or email me at cheri703@ubuntu.com | 18:20 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, definitely pleia2, thanks | 18:20 |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 18:20 |
| pleia2 | System76Chick: while I have you, I got the nail decals - thank you! Mind if I blog about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1919799 on blog.ubuntu-women.org ? | 18:20 |
| Cheri703 | for the record, that was all I had on CareerDays, unless anyone else has any thoughts | 18:22 |
| pleia2 | great, thanks :) | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | #topic Other announcements, misc | 18:23 |
| System76Chick | I'd love to see a blog post about it! | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | System76Chick: great, I'll get to it this week :) | 18:23 |
| * pleia2 needs to do her nails so there is a photo! | 18:23 | |
| pleia2 | Registration for UDS has opened: http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/ | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | it's free to attend :) | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | and we'll be doing an Ubuntu Women dinner on Thursday evening of the event | 18:24 |
| Cheri703 | heh, if I get any of the california jobs I'm applying to, maybe I'll be out there by then ;) (DOUBTFUL) | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 18:24 |
| jledbetter | That'd be awesome:) | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | all three of us in one place, the country might fall over | 18:25 |
| jledbetter | lol! | 18:25 |
| Cheri703 | it would, but somehow I don't think <2 months from application to already moved in and able to take a week off is going to happen | 18:25 |
| Cheri703 | hehe | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | ok, anything else? | 18:25 |
| System76Chick | Speaking of UDS, does anyone have good sources for marketing swag? We are supposed to be bringing it to UDS and I'm not getting the best quotes. I have to watch the office while the guys go to the summit :( | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | System76Chick: I've used vistaprint for Ubuntu Women stuff, but, while cheap, I wouldn't go as far as to say they're great quality wise for everything | 18:26 |
| System76Chick | What kind of swag would you guys like from our booth at the summit? | 18:27 |
| pleia2 | stickers :) | 18:27 |
| System76Chick | I think Ubuntu Coffee cups would be SWEET | 18:27 |
| Cheri703 | reusable water bottles are good too for the non-coffee/cold drink set | 18:28 |
| System76Chick | Great idea! | 18:28 |
| pleia2 | Canonical sells Ubuntu Coffee Cups so you'll want to be careful trademark-wise | 18:28 |
| * jledbetter likes stickers too | 18:28 | |
| Cheri703 | free laptops = awesome swag! >.> | 18:29 |
| Cheri703 | already branded too! | 18:29 |
| System76Chick | I will be careful with the trademark stuff | 18:29 |
| jledbetter | lol! | 18:29 |
| jledbetter | A giveaway would be sweet indeed | 18:30 |
| System76Chick | Free laptops lol. That would be INCREDIBLE! They are bringing our secret products to show off, a week before they all launch. That will be cool | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | oh, after our next meeting I'll make the blueprint for UDS, but I did want to mention that I casually mentioned on list that we'd be creating a theme for blog.ubuntu-women.org over the summer, I intend to add that as a blueprint item that we can discuss at UDS | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | (it's currently using the default, and the header image is HUGE, everyone complains) | 18:31 |
| AlanBell | maybe the planet too | 18:31 |
| Cheri703 | big header = bad for netbooks or phones | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | wow, the planet is broken right now | 18:31 |
| Cheri703 | maybe *fixing* the planet should be on the blueprint | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | indeed! | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | I didn't realize it was looking so bad | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | http://www.ubuntu-women.org/uw.png | 18:32 |
| System76Chick | There are some awesome wordpress themes I can look into and make a list of the ones without xlarge headers. I browse themes all day. | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | doh, it's because of our redirect | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | we actually were linking to stuff on ubuntu-women.org, oops | 18:32 |
| AlanBell | oh so it is | 18:33 |
| AlanBell | hmm, interesting. . . I wonder if it can be fixed just by putting stuff in the right place on the wiki | 18:33 |
| pleia2 | #action pleia2 to look into fixing planet | 18:34 |
| meetingology | ACTION: pleia2 to look into fixing planet | 18:34 |
| pleia2 | might just be able to upload them to planet.ubuntu-women.org directly and change the links, I'll probably need a ticket to do it though | 18:34 |
| pleia2 | I still have access to the files from the old site | 18:34 |
| pleia2 | I think that's it, unless anyone else has anything? | 18:35 |
| Cheri703 | I'm all set | 18:36 |
| pleia2 | ok, thanks everyone :) | 18:40 |
