[18:01] <jledbetter> o/
[18:01] <Cheri703> o/
[18:02]  * cfmckee Cindy McKee observing
[18:03] <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> :)
[18:04] <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 :)
[18:05] <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
[18:07] <pleia2> ok, thanks
[18:07] <pleia2> as far as website stuff, ubuntu-women.org now points to wiki.ubuntu-women.org :)
[18:08] <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 review of wiki pages for content continues, anyone can pitch in here if they find a wiki page that is out of date, either fix it or let someone know it needs to be updated
[18:09] <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)
[18:10] <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
[18:11] <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
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <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
[18:14] <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 ;) )
[18:15] <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
[18:16] <Cheri703> Absolutely!
[18:16] <Cheri703> we are not just looking for developers, we are looking for a variety of things
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <System76Chick> and being the only woman is the most different job I've ever had!
[18:19] <pleia2> great
[18:20] <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 ?
[18:22] <Cheri703> for the record, that was all I had on CareerDays, unless anyone else has any thoughts
[18:23] <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/
[18:24] <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:)
[18:25] <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 :(
[18:26] <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
[18:27] <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
[18:28] <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
[18:29] <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!
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <pleia2> I think that's it, unless anyone else has anything?
[18:36] <Cheri703> I'm all set
[18:40] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone :)
