[18:00] <pleia2> hi everyone, who all is here for the meeting? :)
[18:00] <jledbetter> o/
[18:00] <Tubu> :)

[18:01] <pleia2> Cheri703: all yours!
[18:01] <Cheri703> So, I know I've said it before, but: We need volunteers!!
[18:02] <Cheri703> Our sessions so far have been well received, so I want to keep it going, but to do that we need presenters
[18:03] <Cheri703> Anyone who wants to volunteer can find contact info/instructions on the wiki page
[18:04] <pleia2> Cheri703: maybe send a reminder to the mailing list too?
[18:04] <Cheri703> yeah, I can do that
[18:04] <pleia2> great
[18:04] <Cheri703> that's it :)
[18:04] <pleia2> ok, thanks!
[18:04] <pleia2> #topic -Q Blueprint
[18:04] <pleia2> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-q-ubuntu-women-project-goals
[18:05] <pleia2> so, quick update on blueprint items
[18:05] <pleia2> I think the only thing we managed to get done last month was a bit of a refresh to blog.ubuntu-women.org
[18:06] <pleia2> instead of writing a whole new theme, I just installed the standard Ubuntu one and uploaded our logos, if anyone really wants to redesign beyond that, please feel free to put a team together to make a proposal
[18:06] <pleia2> I have wordpress demo space on a server (same one we did wiki dev on), so if anyone needs space where they can work collaboratively, just let me know and I'll set something up
[18:07] <pleia2> I don't really have updates on my items beyond that
[18:07] <pleia2> anyone else have any updates on theirs?
[18:07]  * jledbetter doesn't
[18:08] <Cheri703> no :/
[18:09] <pleia2> we do have leadership elections on the horizon, and it got me thinking that 1 year terms are too short
[18:09] <pleia2> elections are time-consuming and 2 years is pretty standard in the Ubuntu community
[18:09] <jledbetter> There's not a max number of times one can be elected right?
[18:09] <pleia2> nope
[18:10] <pleia2> I'm wondering if we just want to create a poll saying "keep 3 leaders for another year and extend leadership period to 2 years" and see where that lands us
[18:10] <pleia2> assuming Cheri703 and jledbetter are still up for another year :)
[18:10] <Cheri703> I'm ok with it
[18:11] <pleia2> how about you jledbetter?
[18:11] <jledbetter> I'm thinking someone with more time might be better instead of me. :(
[18:11] <pleia2> ok
[18:12] <pleia2> well, we don't currently have any volunteers to handle an election
[18:12] <jledbetter> But yeah, 2 years should be good especially if it's norm. Could even stagger if that makes things easier for knowledge retainment/training.
[18:12] <jledbetter> I could do the election since I'm not running? For one slot?
[18:12] <pleia2> staggering doesn't solve our "elections take a ton of time" problem
[18:13] <jledbetter> True
[18:13] <pleia2> which is my primary concern :\
[18:13] <pleia2> and yeah, since you're not running you can handle it
[18:13] <jledbetter> Ok, I will. Y'all can do another year and I'll find a 2-year person :) Win win!
[18:14] <pleia2> http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess outlines the process
[18:14] <pleia2> I think if we do it this way, we want to vote on all three spots
[18:14] <pleia2> so 2 incumbents
[18:15] <pleia2> (of course now I'm putting us on the hook for another *2* years :))
[18:15] <jledbetter> Says 2 people need to be responsible for the poll. I'll email the list to find a helper and announce the elections. Next week maybe? Since it's July 7 nominations.
[18:15] <jledbetter> Or maybe this week. It's the 12th. Oops :)
[18:16] <Cheri703> heh
[18:16] <pleia2> we can adjust timing as needed
[18:16] <pleia2> but sounds good jledbetter!
[18:16] <pleia2> #action jledbetter to find and work with another volunteer to handle leadership elections
[18:16] <meetingology> ACTION: jledbetter to find and work with another volunteer to handle leadership elections
[18:16] <jledbetter> Right. And, Cheri703, I owe you a career day. I'll schedule that up this month or next :)
[18:16] <pleia2> yay!
[18:17] <jledbetter> I'm not unpacked yet but by-golly I can do other stuff! ;)
[18:17] <pleia2> hehe
[18:17] <pleia2> #topic Any other business
[18:18] <pleia2> anyone else have anything? announcements? upcoming event news they wish to share?
[18:21] <Cheri703> :) thanks jledbetter
[18:21] <Cheri703> (didn't see that til just now)
[18:22] <jledbetter> You're welcome, Cheri703
[18:24] <pleia2> ok, we'll wrap this up
[18:24] <pleia2> thanks everyone! :)
