[18:03] ok, we'll wait a bit to get to that agenda item then :) [18:03] #topic 1305 Blueprint updates [18:03] #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1305-ubuntu-women [18:03] I sent the contact info for Career Days participants to Cheri703 [18:03] Cheri703: any progress to report there? [18:03] Yes, I am slacking. I will contact them by this weekend. [18:04] #action Cheri703 to contact potential Career Days participants [18:04] ACTION: Cheri703 to contact potential Career Days participants [18:04] thanks :) [18:04] Cheri703: you again, Competition news? :) [18:04] I added some more questions to our private questions key, so I think we have enough [18:04] questions are finally sorted! so next step is creating the form for submission [18:05] then choosing a start date and advertising the heck out of it [18:05] I'm thinking Monday [18:05] that will give us the weekend to get the form sorted and blog posts prepped [18:06] do we want to advertise in advance of start date or? [18:06] not sure, we also have the survey going out this week (we'll get to that in a moment) [18:07] maybe we send out a teaser tweet/fb/g+ on Friday? [18:07] I think it is better to have everything in place before advertising, just in case of any snags [18:07] #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/ScavengerHunt [18:08] that will also need to be reviewed and updated as needed with dates [18:10] agree with IdleOne [18:10] (sorry, someone came to the door) [18:10] Original thought had been to start it on like a friday and then run til a monday, so 2 weekends in the contest time frame [18:10] so if we start posting about it monday, then we could start it next friday? [18:11] sure [18:11] and that gives us the rest of this week/most of next to get it finalized/ready [18:11] that will also give us nice spacing between survey announcement and competition [18:11] yeah [18:12] #action pleia2 to update ScavengerHunt wiki [18:12] ACTION: pleia2 to update ScavengerHunt wiki [18:12] Cheri703: want to write the announcement blog post? [18:12] #action pleia2 to advertise competition on social media [18:12] ACTION: pleia2 to advertise competition on social media [18:13] uhm...I can [18:13] #action Cheri703 to write blog post announcing the competition [18:13] ACTION: Cheri703 to write blog post announcing the competition [18:13] I can proof read/help as needed :) [18:14] ok cool [18:14] ok, survey! [18:15] so I worked with AlanBell to come up with survey questions, and the survey is now up :) http://goo.gl/CXem63 [18:15] pretty basic, I figure we can refine in follow-up surveys as needed [18:15] this is our first survey so I wanted it to be pretty broad and general [18:16] I 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 :) [18:18] good, bad, indifferent? :) [18:18] good! :) [18:18] looks good here [18:18] ok cool [18:19] looks like that's it for blueprint items [18:19] #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 field [18:20] looks like belkinsa isn't here [18:20] but what I gathered from the thread that inspired this topic is that our "how to get involved" resources aren't obvious enough on our site [18:21] it's true, http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ needs some work [18:21] so 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] maybe move the link up just under the About link? [18:22] your idea is better I think :) [18:22] IdleOne: I think it's more involved than that and we'll find that even our getting involved page, once found, is not sufficient [18:22] it's kind of "here are some links, have fun!" [18:23] #action pleia2 to follow up on list with improvements for getting involved & what people are doing docs [18:23] ACTION: pleia2 to follow up on list with improvements for getting involved & what people are doing docs [18:24] #topic Any other business (AOB) [18:24] well it is a wiki, everybody is welcome to improve it :) [18:24] err maybe not [18:24] IdleOne: only admins can edit the front page [18:24] (we've had vandalism) [18:24] yeah just remembered that [18:25] and the folks asking for improvements are the ones who are trying to get involved, so they can't really rewrite it ;) [18:25] feedback from them is essential though [18:25] indeed [18:26] ok, so any other things folks wish to discuss? [18:26] nope :) [18:28] I'm good [18:31] ok, thanks everyone! [18:31] #endmeeting [18:31] Meeting ended Tue Aug 13 18:31:17 2013 UTC.
