[16:06] <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

[18:00] <pleia2> who all is here for the meeting? :)
[18:00] <Deindre> I'm
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <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 :)
[18:03] <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
[18:04] <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
[18:05] <pleia2> too many of those have "lyz" on them :)
[18:06] <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!
[18:07] <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
[18:08] <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
[18:09] <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!
[18:10] <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
[18:11] <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
[18:12] <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
[18:13] <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?
[18:14] <pleia2> or questions about any of them?
[18:15] <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
[18:16] <pleia2> maco: you rock :)
[18:16] <MarkDude> \o late for meeting
[18:16] <pleia2> the mentoring discussion was interesting at UDS
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <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 :)
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <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 :)
[18:21] <pleia2> so I figure we start there to get this rolling
[18:22] <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>
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <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
[18:25] <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!
[18:26] <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!
[18:27] <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
[18:29] <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?
[18:30] <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
[18:32] <pleia2> thanks maco
[18:32] <pleia2> anything else, anyone?
[18:35] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone :)
