pleia2I sent the contact info for Career Days participants to Cheri70318:03
pleia2Cheri703: any progress to report there?18:03
Cheri703Yes, I am slacking. I will contact them by this weekend.18:03
pleia2#action Cheri703 to contact potential Career Days participants18:04
meetingologyACTION: Cheri703 to contact potential Career Days participants18:04
pleia2thanks :)18:04
pleia2Cheri703: you again, Competition news? :)18:04
pleia2I added some more questions to our private questions key, so I think we have enough18:04
Cheri703questions are finally sorted! so next step is creating the form for submission18:04
Cheri703then choosing a start date and advertising the heck out of it18:05
pleia2I'm thinking Monday18:05
pleia2that will give us the weekend to get the form sorted and blog posts prepped18:05
Cheri703do we want to advertise in advance of start date or?18:06
pleia2not sure, we also have the survey going out this week (we'll get to that in a moment)18:06
pleia2maybe we send out a teaser tweet/fb/g+ on Friday?18:07
IdleOneI think it is better to have everything in place before advertising, just in case of any snags18:07
pleia2#link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/ScavengerHunt18:07
pleia2that will also need to be reviewed and updated as needed with dates18:08
Cheri703agree with IdleOne18:10
Cheri703(sorry, someone came to the door)18:10
Cheri703Original thought had been to start it on like a friday and then run til a monday, so 2 weekends in the contest time frame18:10
Cheri703so if we start posting about it monday, then we could start it next friday?18:10
pleia2sure18:11
Cheri703and that gives us the rest of this week/most of next to get it finalized/ready18:11
pleia2that will also give us nice spacing between survey announcement and competition18:11
Cheri703yeah18:11
pleia2#action pleia2 to update ScavengerHunt wiki18:12

Cheri703uhm...I can18:13
pleia2#action Cheri703 to write blog post announcing the competition18:13
meetingologyACTION: Cheri703 to write blog post announcing the competition18:13
pleia2I can proof read/help as needed :)18:13
Cheri703ok cool18:14
pleia2ok, survey!18:14
pleia2so I worked with AlanBell to come up with survey questions, and the survey is now up :) http://goo.gl/CXem6318:15
pleia2pretty basic, I figure we can refine in follow-up surveys as needed18:15
pleia2this is our first survey so I wanted it to be pretty broad and general18:15
pleia2I haven't shared the link yet, so this is the debut, if anyone has any comments or changes they wish to see, now's your chance :)18:16
pleia2good, bad, indifferent? :)18:18
Cheri703good! :)18:18
IdleOnelooks good here18:18
pleia2ok cool18:18
pleia2looks like that's it for blueprint items18:19
pleia2#topic Tips on how to get involved with the various skills that each of us have, either in the community of Ubuntu/Ubuntu-Women/FOSS or in the IT field with FOSS being the focus, and how does the non-FOSS IT world sees the FOSS world in IT field18:19
pleia2looks like belkinsa isn't here18:20
pleia2but what I gathered from the thread that inspired this topic is that our "how to get involved" resources aren't obvious enough on our site18:20
pleia2it's true, http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ needs some work18:21
pleia2so I'm thinking I'll follow-up on list and suggest they schedule a meeting specificially to talk about this and see what we can do to improve it :)18:21
IdleOnemaybe move the link up just under the About link?18:21
IdleOneyour idea is better I think :)18:22
pleia2IdleOne: I think it's more involved than that and we'll find that even our getting involved page, once found, is not sufficient18:22
pleia2it's kind of "here are some links, have fun!"18:22
pleia2#action pleia2 to follow up on list with improvements for getting involved & what people are doing docs18:23
meetingologyACTION: pleia2 to follow up on list with improvements for getting involved & what people are doing docs18:23
pleia2#topic Any other business (AOB)18:24
IdleOnewell it is a wiki, everybody is welcome to improve it :)18:24
IdleOneerr maybe not18:24
pleia2IdleOne: only admins can edit the front page18:24
pleia2(we've had vandalism)18:24
IdleOneyeah just remembered that18:24
pleia2and the folks asking for improvements are the ones who are trying to get involved, so they can't really rewrite it ;)18:25
pleia2feedback from them is essential though18:25
IdleOneindeed18:25
pleia2ok, so any other things folks wish to discuss?18:26
IdleOnenope :)18:26
Cheri703I'm good18:28
pleia2ok, thanks everyone!18:31
