[16:06] 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 [16:08] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-women/2012-May/003508.html [17:50] meeting in 10 minutes :) [18:00] #startmeeting [18:00] Meeting started Thu May 17 18:00:33 2012 UTC.

[18:04] (I know you have a tight schedule today) [18:04] no, I have ~30ish minutes [18:04] ok [18:04] #link http://people.ubuntu.com/~lyz/uds-q/4-community-q-ubuntu-women-project-goals [18:04] so this has a bunch of action items at the bottom that we will move to the blueprint [18:05] too many of those have "lyz" on them :) [18:06] I can help with the search result research, with some parameters on what we're looking for/how to document [18:06] Cheri703: great! [18:07] #action Cheri703 to take Look into visibility online (how high in search results for terms like "Ubuntu") [18:07] ACTION: Cheri703 to take Look into visibility online (how high in search results for terms like "Ubuntu") [18:07] now that google gives "custom" results, it is hard to gauge [18:07] yeah [18:08] in addition to those tasks, we also need someone to take on leading up the redevelopment of the wordpress blog [18:08] Do custom results differ much if you use a clean profile, or disallow cookies? [18:08] akk: yeah, they are also location based [18:08] not sure akk, I'll play with it [18:08] sigh, google [18:09] I'd also be happy to work with others on the "promoting the project" task [18:09] search results were just an example, we're looking for general visibility everywhere [18:09] edubuntu.org now links to us :) yay them! [18:09] woo! [18:10] I am happy to assist someone else on whatever the Ada Lovelace thing turns out to be [18:10] so http://findingada.com/ is going to be on October 16th this year [18:11] thanks AlanBell, we do need a primary on this though if we want to do another competition or something [18:11] last year we did the Month of Making: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/AdaLovelace [18:12] 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] we can follow up on this closer to the date I guess :) [18:13] anyone else see anything on the tasks they may be able to contribute to? [18:14] or questions about any of them? [18:15] 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] maco: you rock :) [18:16] \o late for meeting [18:16] the mentoring discussion was interesting at UDS [18:17] 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] 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] 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] maco: so much to do, so little time :) [18:19] 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] so "I have this task, and will mentor anyone who wants to do it" [18:19] hi there :) [18:19] Uh oh, I may be held accountable for my words [18:19] * paulproteus hides [18:19] this seems like a good direction for our mentoring program to go [18:19] hehe [18:20] 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] so I figure we start there to get this rolling [18:22] that's pretty much all I've got as far as UDS and our plans go [18:22] 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] OpenHatch would appreciate if you call your specific-task mentorship events "Starling Bounties" [18:23] 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] cool [18:24] paulproteus: once I have a draft page I'll be in touch to review [18:24] b [18:24] (thumbs up) [18:24] BTW, maco, and all others in the channel: you do in fact rock [18:25] ok, anyone feel free to follow up with me after the meeting if you have any questions about anything from UDS [18:25] #topic Career Days [18:25] Cheri703: all yours! [18:26] So last month we had an awesome session by Emma Marshall (system76chick), and we need more volunteers! [18:26] 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] Cheri703: I got at least one name at UDS, I'll forward over her contact details so you can follow-up [18:27] awesome [18:27] Men and Women are welcome to present a session as well, just as reference [18:29] thanks Cheri703 [18:29] 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] :) [18:29] #topic Comments, questions, anything else? [18:30] (in general, before we wrap up the meeting) [18:30] 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] https://ohiolinux.org/ [18:30] Wendy Seltzer is keynoting. She's an awesome tech-lawyer [18:30] cool [18:30] and the Diversity in Open Source workshop is happening again this year [18:32] thanks maco [18:32] anything else, anyone? [18:35] ok, thanks everyone :) [18:35] #endmeeting [18:35] Meeting ended Thu May 17 18:35:46 2012 UTC.
