[18:05] Alright [18:05] So, the basics are: We are going to do an online scavenger hunt! [18:06] Current plan is to be 20 questions and set up a form so we can try to standardize responses. [18:06] Contest will kick off on March 8th, International Women's Day, and run til March 18th, that way it gives folks one full week plus a weekend to work on it [18:06] what kinds of questions? [18:07] We're hoping to get 2-3 more volunteers to help with the project, because we're hoping to have a variety of Ubuntu related and Women (/women in foss/women in tech/women something) related questions, and the thought is that if we have 4-5 people total (myself and Pendulum + others), then each person can be responsible for coming up with AND checking a set number of questions [18:07] It'll be a mix of questions about where to find specific info and fun ones (i.e. "Find an Ubuntu Forums member with 3 "z"s in their username") [18:08] cool [18:08] If some questions have multiple answers, that's why it'll be easier to have person A responsible for questions 1-4, so all they need to worry about is those questions on all entries, then person B takes care of 5-9, etc [18:09] no one has to confirm answers for ALL the questions [18:09] nice [18:09] sounds like fun [18:10] As far as prizes, we'll take the people who have answered all questions correctly, then put them into a random drawing. We're still discussing how many prizes and exactly WHAT the prizes will be. [18:10] BAM, you 3 indicated interest, you've volunteered! ;) j/k [18:10] Emma from System76 signed up for helping with prizes, and we can reach out to Ubuntu User again [18:11] We are hoping to have the participation limited to women, but a. how do we try to enforce that, and b. I can only imagine the flood of "OMG UW IS SEXXXXXXIST" comments, so...we'll see [18:11] Any thoughts on the topic are MORE than welcome [18:11] (and I'm already marked down as helping with this in the blueprint ;)) [18:11] ok, awesome ;) [18:12] Pendulum: did I miss anything? [18:12] We're hoping to have everything set to start the contest on March 8 (International Women's Day) [18:13] I suggest putting a call to the mailing list asking for volunteers, stressing that it's a great first thing to work on for someone looking to get involved with Ubuntu (so, don't be shy!) [18:13] The idea is to give them about 10 days so there are 2 weekends in there, but it's not too much time [18:13] them = participants [18:14] I think it's ok, and as with previous contests, we can extend it if needed [18:14] and maybe write a few teasers in the week leading up to it to build excitement? [18:15] yeah, that leads us into the next topic actually [18:15] shall we move on? [18:15] I think that covered everything [18:16] great, thanks for your work Cheri703 and Pendulum, this sounds great :) [18:16] #topic Career Days [18:16] Our first career days of 2013 will be Laura Czajkowski on March 1 [18:16] that's one week before the contest starts, so we can cross promote :D [18:17] there are a bunch of people who volunteered at UDS and I will be reaching out to everyone to get sessions scheduled [18:17] the time is still to be determined for the March 1 session, but that'll be on upcoming announcements [18:18] aaaand that's all I have on that [18:18] thanks Cheri703 [18:19] #topic Any other business [18:19] anyone else have anything they wish to discuss or comment on? :) [18:19] Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) sponsorship hasn't opened yet, but we'll be mailing list list once it does, it's in Oakland again, May 6-9: http://uds.ubuntu.com/ [18:20] I don't think any of the leadership team will be attending :( [18:20] awesome :D [18:20] I might be able to! if I get sponsored! [18:20] that would be good! [18:20] I am pushing my move back to June, so...possible [18:21] I'll be out of reach on my honeymoon, so I won't even be able to participate remotely [18:21] pfft, you can take a break from honeymoon for ONE UW session ;) [18:21] COME ON PLEIA2 WHERE IS YOUR COMMITMENT?! [18:22] hehe [18:22] honeymoon is ONE in a lifetime! take a break from UW and enjoy Honeymoon :P [18:22] hehe [18:23] alright, I have nothing else productive to contribute :) [18:23] hehe [18:23] ok, I think that pretty much wraps things up then [18:24] sounds like we're on track with everything! [18:24] thanks everyone :) [18:24] #endmeeting [18:24] Meeting ended Tue Feb 12 18:24:56 2013 UTC.
