[18:01] <pleia2> ^^
[18:01] <IdleOne> o/
[18:02] <pleia2> is anyone from the mailing list who participated in the thread about improvements to our getting involved docs here?
[18:03] <pleia2> ok, we'll wait a bit to get to that agenda item then :)

[18:03] <pleia2> I sent the contact info for Career Days participants to Cheri703
[18:03] <pleia2> Cheri703: any progress to report there?
[18:03] <Cheri703> Yes, I am slacking. I will contact them by this weekend.

[18:04] <meetingology> ACTION: Cheri703 to contact potential Career Days participants
[18:04] <pleia2> thanks :)
[18:04] <pleia2> Cheri703: you again, Competition news? :)
[18:04] <pleia2> I added some more questions to our private questions key, so I think we have enough
[18:04] <Cheri703> questions are finally sorted! so next step is creating the form for submission
[18:05] <Cheri703> then choosing a start date and advertising the heck out of it
[18:05] <pleia2> I'm thinking Monday
[18:05] <pleia2> that will give us the weekend to get the form sorted and blog posts prepped
[18:06] <Cheri703> do we want to advertise in advance of start date or?
[18:06] <pleia2> not sure, we also have the survey going out this week (we'll get to that in a moment)
[18:07] <pleia2> maybe we send out a teaser tweet/fb/g+ on Friday?
[18:07] <IdleOne> I think it is better to have everything in place before advertising, just in case of any snags
[18:07] <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/ScavengerHunt
[18:08] <pleia2> that will also need to be reviewed and updated as needed with dates
[18:10] <Cheri703> agree with IdleOne
[18:10] <Cheri703> (sorry, someone came to the door)
[18:10] <Cheri703> 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] <Cheri703> so if we start posting about it monday, then we could start it next friday?
[18:11] <pleia2> sure
[18:11] <Cheri703> and that gives us the rest of this week/most of next to get it finalized/ready
[18:11] <pleia2> that will also give us nice spacing between survey announcement and competition
[18:11] <Cheri703> yeah
[18:12] <pleia2> #action pleia2 to update ScavengerHunt wiki

[18:12] <pleia2> Cheri703: want to write the announcement blog post?

[18:12] <meetingology> ACTION: pleia2 to advertise competition on social media
[18:13] <Cheri703> uhm...I can
[18:13] <pleia2> #action Cheri703 to write blog post announcing the competition
[18:13] <meetingology> ACTION: Cheri703 to write blog post announcing the competition
[18:13] <pleia2> I can proof read/help as needed :)
[18:14] <Cheri703> ok cool
[18:14] <pleia2> ok, survey!
[18:15] <pleia2> so I worked with AlanBell to come up with survey questions, and the survey is now up :) http://goo.gl/CXem63
[18:15] <pleia2> pretty basic, I figure we can refine in follow-up surveys as needed
[18:15] <pleia2> this is our first survey so I wanted it to be pretty broad and general
[18:16] <pleia2> 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] <pleia2> good, bad, indifferent? :)
[18:18] <Cheri703> good! :)
[18:18] <IdleOne> looks good here
[18:18] <pleia2> ok cool
[18:19] <pleia2> looks like that's it for blueprint items
[18:19] <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 field
[18:20] <pleia2> looks like belkinsa isn't here
[18:20] <pleia2> 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] <pleia2> it's true, http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ needs some work
[18:21] <pleia2> 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] <IdleOne> maybe move the link up just under the About link?
[18:22] <IdleOne> your idea is better I think :)
[18:22] <pleia2> 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] <pleia2> it's kind of "here are some links, have fun!"
[18:23] <pleia2> #action pleia2 to follow up on list with improvements for getting involved & what people are doing docs
[18:23] <meetingology> ACTION: pleia2 to follow up on list with improvements for getting involved & what people are doing docs
[18:24] <pleia2> #topic Any other business (AOB)
[18:24] <IdleOne> well it is a wiki, everybody is welcome to improve it :)
[18:24] <IdleOne> err maybe not
[18:24] <pleia2> IdleOne: only admins can edit the front page
[18:24] <pleia2> (we've had vandalism)
[18:24] <IdleOne> yeah just remembered that
[18:25] <pleia2> and the folks asking for improvements are the ones who are trying to get involved, so they can't really rewrite it ;)
[18:25] <pleia2> feedback from them is essential though
[18:25] <IdleOne> indeed
[18:26] <pleia2> ok, so any other things folks wish to discuss?
[18:26] <IdleOne> nope :)
[18:28] <Cheri703> I'm good
[18:31] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone!
