Who all is here for the meeting? :) [18:01] +1 [18:01] o/ [18:01] o/ [18:02] * cfmckee Cindy McKee observing [18:03] nice to see a new face, welcome cfmckee! [18:03] o/ [18:03] so we don't really have much on the agenda: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/March2012/Agenda [18:03] [link] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-p-ubuntu-women-project-goals [18:03] oh, I forgot to add something [18:03] * Cheri703 goes to do it [18:03] :) [18:04] 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] I am here! [18:04] we'll be sticking with informal, helping each other find resources on list and in channel and however we can [18:04] welcome System76Chick :) [18:05] jledbetter, nigelb - any progress on reaching out the railsbridge / pystar communities? [18:05] (it's ok if not, just looking for status and if you need help :)) [18:05] No update from me. I think nigelb emailed me but I'm a lot behind. Sorry nigelb :( [18:05] Yeah, no update form me either. [18:05] I'll try to get something before the next meeting [18:07] ok, thanks [18:07] as far as website stuff, ubuntu-women.org now points to wiki.ubuntu-women.org :) [18:08] added :) [18:08] o/ -sorry I'm late [18:08] the front page of wiki.ubuntu-women.org can only be edited by admins [18:08] That'll help with spammers, eh? [18:08] review of wiki pages for content continues, anyone can pitch in here if they find a wiki page that is out of date, either fix it or let someone know it needs to be updated [18:09] jledbetter: yeah, we haven't really had a problem but I don't want to end up having a problem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] Good idea. [18:09] 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) [18:10] but the main landing page shouldn't need many changes, so we can keep it restricted [18:10] I meant to email Susan about the final blueprint item, I might have said I'd do that but then didn't [18:11] [action] pleia2 to email susan-spencer about UW audience profiles [18:11] ACTION: pleia2 to email susan-spencer about UW audience profiles [18:11] I think that's it when it comes to the blueprint [18:12] #topic Call for Career Days Participation [18:12] Cheri703: all yours! [18:12] Hey folks, we've had some awesome CareerDays sessions thus far, but...we want/need more! [18:12] #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/CareerDays [18:12] Anyone who works in/around IT or some peripherally related field (documentation, etc) is welcome to present [18:13] we basically are looking for a "day in the life" and a "how I got here" type of thing. [18:13] Check out the link (thanks pleia2) for logs and examples of past sessions [18:13] I'd love to find someone to present for March, but if not, definitely by April [18:14] 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] (to at least keep it sort of relevant to u-w ;) ) [18:15] 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 [18:16] Absolutely! [18:16] we are not just looking for developers, we are looking for a variety of things [18:17] I'm good with opening it up beyond IT, any thoughts from others? [18:17] yeah, it may be interesting to see a session about "I don't work in IT, but my open source career is..." [18:17] definitely [18:18] Absolutely. [18:18] and I'd love to hear about System76Chick's job :) [18:18] Me too :) [18:18] 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 [18:19] and being the only woman is the most different job I've ever had! [18:19] great [18:20] Cheri703: want to coordinate and then just let me know so I can add it to the classroom calendar? [18:20] anyone interested in participating, please either add yourself to the wiki page, or email me at cheri703@ubuntu.com [18:20] yeah, definitely pleia2, thanks [18:20] \o/ [18:20] 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 ? [18:22] for the record, that was all I had on CareerDays, unless anyone else has any thoughts [18:23] great, thanks :) [18:23] #topic Other announcements, misc [18:23] I'd love to see a blog post about it! [18:23] System76Chick: great, I'll get to it this week :) [18:23] * pleia2 needs to do her nails so there is a photo! [18:23] Registration for UDS has opened: http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/ [18:24] it's free to attend :) [18:24] and we'll be doing an Ubuntu Women dinner on Thursday evening of the event [18:24] heh, if I get any of the california jobs I'm applying to, maybe I'll be out there by then ;) (DOUBTFUL) [18:24] hehe [18:24] That'd be awesome:) [18:25] all three of us in one place, the country might fall over [18:25] lol! [18:25] 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] hehe [18:25] ok, anything else? [18:25] 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 :( [18:26] 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 [18:27] What kind of swag would you guys like from our booth at the summit? [18:27] stickers :) [18:27] I think Ubuntu Coffee cups would be SWEET [18:28] reusable water bottles are good too for the non-coffee/cold drink set [18:28] Great idea! [18:28] Canonical sells Ubuntu Coffee Cups so you'll want to be careful trademark-wise [18:28] * jledbetter likes stickers too [18:29] free laptops = awesome swag! >.> [18:29] already branded too! [18:29] I will be careful with the trademark stuff [18:29] lol! [18:30] A giveaway would be sweet indeed [18:30] 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 [18:31] 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] (it's currently using the default, and the header image is HUGE, everyone complains) [18:31] maybe the planet too [18:31] big header = bad for netbooks or phones [18:31] wow, the planet is broken right now [18:32] maybe *fixing* the planet should be on the blueprint [18:32] indeed! [18:32] I didn't realize it was looking so bad [18:32] http://www.ubuntu-women.org/uw.png [18:32] 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] doh, it's because of our redirect [18:32] we actually were linking to stuff on ubuntu-women.org, oops [18:33] oh so it is [18:33] hmm, interesting. . . I wonder if it can be fixed just by putting stuff in the right place on the wiki [18:34] #action pleia2 to look into fixing planet [18:34] ACTION: pleia2 to look into fixing planet [18:34] 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] I still have access to the files from the old site [18:35] I think that's it, unless anyone else has anything? [18:36] I'm all set [18:40] ok, thanks everyone :) [18:40] #endmeeting [18:40] Meeting ended Tue Mar 13 18:40:13 2012 UTC.
