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