| MarkDude | Does anyone object to me responding to the doctoral student about *Looking for interviewees: Women in Free and Open Source Development*? Im not sure there are any volunteers for the *unicorn interview* .Of course I would not be speaking for UW, and would only be offering my personal opinion | 16:06 |

| Deindre | I'm | 18:00 |
| pleia2 | #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/Agenda | 18:01 |
| akk | o/ | 18:01 |
| Cheri703 | o/ | 18:01 |
| pleia2 | #topic Quantal Blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-q-ubuntu-women-project-goals | 18:01 |
| pleia2 | I think we may just breeze through this one since I haven't had a chance to update it yet, and instead just go on to what was discussed at UDS (since that will flesh out this blueprint) | 18:02 |
| pleia2 | so that's where we will add our action items for the cycle once we're talked about them now :) | 18:02 |
| pleia2 | #topic Discuss UDS and action items | 18:03 |
| maco | wow i have good timing | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | I've uploaded notes from our session here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~lyz/uds-q/4-community-q-ubuntu-women-project-goals | 18:03 |
| Cheri703 | added career days to agenda | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | Cheri703: need us to talk about that now? | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | (I know you have a tight schedule today) | 18:04 |
| Cheri703 | no, I have ~30ish minutes | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | ok | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | #link http://people.ubuntu.com/~lyz/uds-q/4-community-q-ubuntu-women-project-goals | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | so this has a bunch of action items at the bottom that we will move to the blueprint | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | too many of those have "lyz" on them :) | 18:05 |
| Cheri703 | I can help with the search result research, with some parameters on what we're looking for/how to document | 18:06 |
| pleia2 | Cheri703: great! | 18:06 |
| pleia2 | #action Cheri703 to take Look into visibility online (how high in search results for terms like "Ubuntu") | 18:07 |
| meetingology | ACTION: Cheri703 to take Look into visibility online (how high in search results for terms like "Ubuntu") | 18:07 |
| Cheri703 | now that google gives "custom" results, it is hard to gauge | 18:07 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 18:07 |
| pleia2 | in addition to those tasks, we also need someone to take on leading up the redevelopment of the wordpress blog | 18:08 |
| akk | Do custom results differ much if you use a clean profile, or disallow cookies? | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | akk: yeah, they are also location based | 18:08 |
| Cheri703 | not sure akk, I'll play with it | 18:08 |
| akk | sigh, google | 18:08 |
| Cheri703 | I'd also be happy to work with others on the "promoting the project" task | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | search results were just an example, we're looking for general visibility everywhere | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | edubuntu.org now links to us :) yay them! | 18:09 |
| Cheri703 | woo! | 18:09 |
| AlanBell | I am happy to assist someone else on whatever the Ada Lovelace thing turns out to be | 18:10 |
| pleia2 | so http://findingada.com/ is going to be on October 16th this year | 18:10 |
| pleia2 | thanks AlanBell, we do need a primary on this though if we want to do another competition or something | 18:11 |
| pleia2 | last year we did the Month of Making: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/AdaLovelace | 18:11 |
| pleia2 | we've also done in the past stories and photo competitions: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/InternationalWomensDay http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/WorldPlayDay | 18:12 |
| pleia2 | we can follow up on this closer to the date I guess :) | 18:13 |
| pleia2 | anyone else see anything on the tasks they may be able to contribute to? | 18:13 |
| pleia2 | or questions about any of them? | 18:14 |
| maco | as to mentoring, while i'm not doing ubuntu dev anymore, i still remember how it goes, so if anyone wants to try it and you'd like your patches/packages to have a once-over before you send them to be sponsored, i'm happy to help | 18:15 |
| pleia2 | maco: you rock :) | 18:16 |
| MarkDude | \o late for meeting | 18:16 |
| pleia2 | the mentoring discussion was interesting at UDS | 18:16 |
| pleia2 | last cycle akgraner did some research into a couple styles of mentoring, what we do today (more casual people ask questions and mentors are somewhat self-selected and help out as needed) vs matching people up on tables | 18:17 |
| maco | elky was asking me to once-over her patch and explain the SRU process last week, but nobody else in the group has poked me (including someone who says they want to get back into it *side-eyes pleia2*) so figured i'd put that out there | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | she discovered the latter didn't work great, and certainly pans out based on our experience, I don't think anyone in the history of the project has found a mentor by adding themselves or picking someone from a table on our wiki :) | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | maco: so much to do, so little time :) | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | at our discussion at UDS, paulproteus mentioned a third type of mentoring: very specific projects put out there that people can volunteer to help with | 18:19 |
| * paulproteus waves | 18:19 | |
| pleia2 | so "I have this task, and will mentor anyone who wants to do it" | 18:19 |
| pleia2 | hi there :) | 18:19 |
| paulproteus | Uh oh, I may be held accountable for my words | 18:19 |
| * paulproteus hides | 18:19 | |
| pleia2 | this seems like a good direction for our mentoring program to go | 18:19 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 18:19 |
| pleia2 | while at UDS, I was in an accessibility session where they said they needed more able folks to test accessibility features, so I think that would be a great place for us to start with this | 18:20 |
| * pleia2 has an action item from them to create a page on our wiki :) | 18:20 | |
| pleia2 | so I figure we start there to get this rolling | 18:21 |
| pleia2 | that's pretty much all I've got as far as UDS and our plans go | 18:22 |
| pleia2 | my name is still next to a bunch of tasks, but I'll reach out to the list too with more details on items to see if I can muster further interest | 18:22 |
| paulproteus | OpenHatch would appreciate if you call your specific-task mentorship events "Starling Bounties" <https://openhatch.org/wiki/Starling> | 18:22 |
| paulproteus | That way, the world can search the web for [starling bounty] in the future and find examples of this outreach strategy across a few projects | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | cool | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | paulproteus: once I have a draft page I'll be in touch to review | 18:24 |
| paulproteus | b | 18:24 |
| paulproteus | (thumbs up) | 18:24 |
| paulproteus | BTW, maco, and all others in the channel: you do in fact rock | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | ok, anyone feel free to follow up with me after the meeting if you have any questions about anything from UDS | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | #topic Career Days | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | Cheri703: all yours! | 18:25 |
| Cheri703 | So last month we had an awesome session by Emma Marshall (system76chick), and we need more volunteers! | 18:26 |
| Cheri703 | I'm pretty much always looking for people, so definitely feel free to toss your name in the hat! Also, we had a successful mid-week session, so various times/days are possible, we can work around your schedule! | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | Cheri703: I got at least one name at UDS, I'll forward over her contact details so you can follow-up | 18:27 |
| Cheri703 | awesome | 18:27 |
| Cheri703 | Men and Women are welcome to present a session as well, just as reference | 18:27 |
| pleia2 | thanks Cheri703 | 18:29 |
| Cheri703 | ok, if no one has any questions/thoughts on it, I have about 10 minutes before I'm out the door for work, I'll check back in, but I have to get ready! | 18:29 |
| pleia2 | :) | 18:29 |
| pleia2 | #topic Comments, questions, anything else? | 18:29 |
| pleia2 | (in general, before we wrap up the meeting) | 18:30 |
| maco | It's that time of year again when I remind everyone in the Eastern / Mid-Western US that Ohio LinuxFest's call for proposals is open | 18:30 |
| maco | https://ohiolinux.org/ | 18:30 |
| maco | Wendy Seltzer is keynoting. She's an awesome tech-lawyer | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | cool | 18:30 |
| maco | and the Diversity in Open Source workshop is happening again this year | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | thanks maco | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | anything else, anyone? | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | ok, thanks everyone :) | 18:35 |
