[18:01] <Cheri703> hehe, short meeting :)
[18:02] <Dolasilla> pleia2, good to enter and find out to be chair! :D
[18:02] <Dolasilla> hi everyone!! ç=
[18:02] <Dolasilla> :)
[18:02] <Cheri703> hey Dolasilla
[18:03] <Dolasilla> sorry, am  little late :)
[18:03] <Dolasilla> who else is here for the meeting?
[18:03] <pleia2> looks like just the three of us for now
[18:03] <pleia2> we can get started
[18:04] <pleia2> #topic Blueprint
[18:04] <pleia2> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1305-ubuntu-women
[18:04] <pleia2> so, we wrapped up the survey!
[18:04] <Cheri703> \o/
[18:04] <Dolasilla> \o/
[18:04] <pleia2> raw data stats are here: http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/09/ubuntu-women-survey-2013-results-part-1/
[18:04] <pleia2> written responses are taking some more time to organize, hope to have a post soonish
[18:05] <pleia2> we also got the competition launched :) http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/08/ubuntu-women-scavenger-hunt/
[18:05] <pleia2> just 3 more days for that, so share it on your social media, with your mom, sister, distant aunt ;)
[18:05] <Dolasilla> ah cool! I missed that one! going to share it
[18:06] <pleia2> Cheri703: want to send a reminder to the mailing list too?
[18:06] <Cheri703> I can yeah
[18:06]  * pleia2 does round of social media again
[18:07]  * Dolasilla just shared on facebook
[18:07] <Cheri703> we have had 25 entries
[18:07] <Dolasilla> good!
[18:08] <Cheri703> it's going to just be a pretty brief email, is that ok?
[18:08] <pleia2> yep
[18:09] <pleia2> so aside from wrapping up the competition, it looks like the last thing on our blueprint is reaching out to the career days volunteers and scheduling a session
[18:09] <Cheri703> yes >_<
[18:09] <Cheri703> I need to make a form for that
[18:09] <Cheri703> I have it on my todo list for "by the end of this week"
[18:09] <pleia2> Cheri703: since czajkowski had one scheduled previous and now has a cool new FOSS job, maybe she's an easy one to reach out to?
[18:09] <pleia2> no need for a form, just a nudge :)
[18:09] <Cheri703> so I am probably going to work on it on thursday or friday because I will have downtime
[18:09] <pleia2> want to at least get this going
[18:09] <Cheri703> well, to send to the presenters to get info about what they want to do and what time-frame they'd prefer
[18:09] <Cheri703> yeah
[18:10] <Cheri703> I can reach out to czajkowski
[18:10] <pleia2> maybe we worry about that for folks we haven't engaged yet
[18:10] <pleia2> but for czajkowski it should just be about rescheduling one that didn't happen
[18:10] <pleia2> #action Cheri703 to reach out to czajkowski for Career Days session
[18:10] <meetingology> ACTION: Cheri703 to reach out to czajkowski for Career Days session
[18:11] <pleia2> \o/
[18:11] <pleia2> progress :)
[18:11] <Cheri703> indeed!
[18:11] <pleia2> #topic Improvements to GetInvolved page
[18:11] <pleia2> belkinsa wanted me to bring this up at the meeting for her (she's unable to attend)
[18:11] <pleia2> she has some links here:
[18:11] <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/GIWPI
[18:12] <pleia2> and started a discussion thread about plans on the forum:
[18:12] <pleia2> #link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2172587
[18:13] <pleia2> if folks want to have a browse through that and leave feedback it would be super helpeful
[18:13] <pleia2> helpful too
[18:13] <pleia2> she also put out a call for volunteers
[18:13] <pleia2> #link https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-women/2013-September/003830.html
[18:14] <pleia2> the intent isn't to rewrite community.ubuntu.com or anything, but improve the page so we can make it a more visible part of our site and point people to it, right now it's a bit terse and not welcoming
[18:15] <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/GetInvolved
[18:15] <pleia2> for reference to what I'm actually talking about ;)
[18:16]  * Dolasilla having a look
[18:18] <Dolasilla> looks nice, and appealing
[18:19] <pleia2> the current page?
[18:19] <pleia2> people don't seem to use it
[18:19] <Dolasilla> really?
[18:19] <pleia2> so the goal is to improve it so it's more useful
[18:19] <Dolasilla> :/
[18:19] <pleia2> I think it's a lot of reading, and not very inspiring
[18:19] <Dolasilla> ok well, I wll check the work in progress then
[18:20] <Dolasilla> that yes, but pretty well written
[18:22] <pleia2> alright, well if anyone has feedback for belkinsa on improvements and her plan, she's on IRC often and reachable via email :)
[18:22] <pleia2> #topic Survey results
[18:22] <Dolasilla> on the italian web site, we are using a quiz, to ask people what skill / availability they have and we offer as result the team where they could help
[18:23] <Dolasilla> I will try to reach there about this
[18:23] <pleia2> I think I've seen that, if the code is online somewhere that'd be great
[18:23] <pleia2> so I shared the survey results link earlier http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/09/ubuntu-women-survey-2013-results-part-1/
[18:25] <pleia2> looking at the list of things people find most valuable to the project... competitions don't rank all that high
[18:26] <Dolasilla> I think competions should help to get people to know Ubuntu women, rather than helping people already in it
[18:26] <pleia2> stories and what other women in the community are doing are high - we should probably put more effort into our Full Circle Magazine interviews
[18:27] <pleia2> Dolasilla: yeah, most of the entrants are from outside our community (I've never heard of most of them!)
[18:27] <pleia2> with belkinsa's work on GetInvolved I think we address the "learning how to get involved" item in the survey results
[18:27] <pleia2> and Cheri703 was right on with Career Days, that's the 3rd thing that ranks high :)
[18:27] <Dolasilla> yep
[18:27] <Cheri703> awesome! :)
[18:28] <pleia2> (and what is causing me to push for getting that on track again!)
[18:28] <Cheri703> yeah, I'd imagine
[18:28] <Cheri703> I will reach out
[18:28] <Cheri703> we just have such terrible attendance
[18:28] <Cheri703> I guess the logs are useful?
[18:28] <Dolasilla> what about a kind of "career day" but with focus on the work done in ubuntu ?
[18:28] <pleia2> logs and blog posts summarizing gets to a lot more people
[18:28] <pleia2> even if a lot of folks can't actually attend the IRC session
[18:28] <Cheri703> ok
[18:29] <Deindre> sorry ladies, I'm late... :(
[18:30] <pleia2> I think that's all I had for immediate comments on the survey results, it will be more helpful as we move forward though
[18:30] <pleia2> welcome Deindre
[18:30] <Dolasilla> pleia2, I was thinking: what about career day in which women tell what they do in the community for Ubuntu?
[18:31] <pleia2> Dolasilla: maybe a "Getting Involved" day? Career really is bigger
[18:31] <Dolasilla> yes sure, we can think about the name, it was just to give the idea of what I meant
[18:31] <Deindre> pleia2: getting involved sounds better to me
[18:31] <Dolasilla> or "ubuntu stories"
[18:33] <Dolasilla> or as you said, "getting involved" but with the same structure of the career days: meetings on irc and then logs and summary on blog
[18:33] <Dolasilla> s
[18:33] <pleia2> well, right now we have interviews for full circle magazine and the blog of the work women in our community are doing in Ubuntu
[18:34] <Deindre> pleia2: I wrote menay interviews during last months, may I help in some interviews?
[18:34] <Deindre> *many
[18:34] <pleia2> Deindre: please! we need to find women to intervew :)
[18:34] <pleia2> emma said she'd interview Cheri703 - Cheri703 do you know the status on that?
[18:35] <Cheri703> oh...nope. because...I didn't know I was getting interviewed?
[18:35] <Deindre> Woman inside Ubuntu?
[18:35] <pleia2> Cheri703: hehe
[18:35] <pleia2> I'll give emma a nudge about it
[18:36] <pleia2> Deindre: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Interviews
[18:36] <Cheri703> I will see her tomorrow
[18:36] <Cheri703> so I can ask
[18:36] <pleia2> Cheri703: even better!
[18:36] <Deindre> ok, I'll find some :)
[18:36] <pleia2> Deindre: great!
[18:37] <pleia2> #action Deindre to find women to interview for our Interview series
[18:37] <meetingology> ACTION: Deindre to find women to interview for our Interview series
[18:37] <Dolasilla> Deindre, we already have some in Ubuntu it, to be a little nationalist ;)
[18:37] <pleia2> Deindre: let me know if you have questions, you can browse past interviews for ideas
[18:37] <Deindre> deadline?
[18:37] <pleia2> the magazine releases monthly, so if it doesn't make it in this month, next month
[18:38] <pleia2> no deadline really, whenever you find folks, we haven't had a column in several months
[18:38] <Deindre> ok perfec
[18:38] <Deindre> perfect
[18:38] <Deindre> I asked to have an idea
[18:39] <pleia2> our last deadline was this past sunday, so next is about 4 weeks from now
[18:39] <Deindre> perfect, I'm sure I can do something
[18:39] <pleia2> but I like to review interviews before I send them off to the editor of full circle, so getting them to me a few days before that deadline is helpful :)
[18:40] <Deindre> I'll post on ml a couple of name next week, so we can discuss together, ok?
[18:40] <pleia2> sounds good
[18:40] <pleia2> #topic Any other business (AOB)
[18:40] <pleia2> anyone else have anything before we wrap up?
[18:43] <Cheri703> nope
[18:43] <Cheri703> I don't
[18:43] <Dolasilla> me neither
[18:43] <deindre2> Me neither
[18:45] <pleia2> ok, thanks all :)
