[18:02] #chair Dolasilla [18:02] Current chairs: Cheri703 Dolasilla pleia2 [18:02] #topic 1305 Blueprint updates [18:02] #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1305-ubuntu-women [18:02] hi all, sorry, little late [18:02] so we made a nice dent in our blueprint :) [18:02] here, had to reboot computer [18:02] pretty much the only things left are career days sessions, which we'll POSTPONE until next cycle [18:03] I'll be making these a higher priority on my list as we've had direct interest in doing more of them [18:03] oh, I should say that release is on October 17th, so new cycle starts soon :) [18:04] pleia2, shall we add to the bluprint the review of the content on the site? [18:04] we'll be participating in the online UDS in November as well to hash our ideas: http://uds.ubuntu.com/ [18:04] Dolasilla: we should probably put a wiki page together of things we want to discuss for blueprint goals [18:04] pleia2, right [18:05] That can work or maybe a LP page for the ease of editing? [18:05] http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/RoadMap [18:05] so we can create a Roadmap-S [18:05] err -T [18:05] * belkinsa nods [18:05] we never had one for -S, virtualized UDS threw us for a loop [18:06] I'll create that as we get closer to UDS so we can all chime in [18:06] anyway, great job everyone this cycle :) [18:07] #topic Revisting the discussion about "Improvements to GetInvolved page" [18:07] belkinsa: the floor is yours! [18:07] Thank you, pleia2. [18:08] We made some progress with the GetInolved Page Project. [18:09] We have the 'What People are Doing page" up and ready for your stories of you guys got involved with Ubuntu. [18:09] http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/GIWPI [18:09] #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/GIWPI [18:09] #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/WhatPeopleAreDoing [18:10] You can e-mail me the stories or you can add them yourself if you have the skills to edit wiki pages. [18:10] There is no deadline to this. [18:10] thanks for taking initiative on this :) [18:10] it's a great idea [18:10] Not a problem. [18:10] Any questions so far? [18:11] no, clear and looks pretty nice to me! [18:11] Okay. [18:11] belkinsa: do you have any specific tasks folks can work on to help with the getting involved page? [18:12] Not at the moment, but since you mentioned it, I can think about this. Thank you. [18:12] belkinsa: also, if you're interested we can do a blog post on blog.ubuntu-women.org about "What people are doing" to raise the profile a bit [18:13] I'm interested in this idea of posting a call on the blog. [18:13] great, sync up with me via email with some proposed text and we'll get something up :) [18:13] belkinsa, are you still thinking of putting in place the quiz to find the best team for getting involved? [18:13] Okay. [18:14] I am and this was the next thing that I was going to bring up. [18:15] Is it safe to move on to the quiz idea? [18:15] so the current problem is we have no where to host it [18:15] I was thinking we should instead put our efforts into getting it included on community.ubuntu.com [18:15] Yes, to help the others in the community. [18:16] makes sense [18:16] belkinsa: dholbach is lead on community.ubuntu.com, I can put you in touch with him if that would be helpful [18:16] Okay, I will e-mail him about hosting the quiz. [18:17] Wait, never mind. Thank you for doing this. [18:19] Safe to move on to last idea? [18:20] I'd say so [18:20] #topic Discuss survey results part 2 [18:20] #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/10/ubuntu-women-survey-2013-results-part-2/ [18:20] so based on feedback, belkinsa is totally on the right track with improving our Getting Involved stuff :) [18:22] true :) [18:22] it was nice to see some fresh ideas for things we can be doing too [18:22] now we just need to drum up the volunteers to make it happen ;) [18:22] Yup. [18:24] anyone else have any comments? [18:24] I have one suggestion about for the developers type of people not knowing how to get into a project. [18:24] one of the point is to create online projects.. [18:24] Maybe a wiki page with a list of active projects that they can look through? [18:25] yes would make sense, but we would need to find good ideas to populate it [18:25] this developer type of person would like that [18:26] Dolasilla: yeah, I think that's always been the challenge [18:27] it would be great to see though [18:27] do you know experienced developers who might have 'boring' stuff lying around which they don't have time/priority for? [18:28] it might be not-so-boring for people who are just starting :) [18:28] it's kind of a chicken and egg problem, developers are too busy to delegate tasks, so they continue to be too busy [18:29] it takes a fair amount of effort to put a task into something that a new developer can tackle [18:29] and then there's quality control, yes [18:29] it's not hopeless, we just need someone to take ownership of making this project happen and approaching developers for bite-size tasks [18:30] pleia2, there was something setup by daniel time ago, no? little bug fixes to get started with coding? [18:30] could we reuse that? [18:31] Dolasilla: yes, a long time ago, might be something we can look into [18:31] I will try to retrieve the link [18:31] http://harvest.ubuntu.com/ [18:32] :D [18:32] thanks pleia2! :D [18:32] Is it still alive? [18:32] no [18:32] I see. [18:32] but it could be resurrected [18:32] It could. [18:32] since it already exists I think Dolasilla is right, this would be a good starting point [18:32] Maybe with the help of the community. [18:33] anyone want to take some time to browse the status of harvest and put together a quick report for the team? [18:34] pleia2, I can take that [18:34] thanks! [18:35] #action Dolasilla to investigate the status of harvest and report back [18:35] ACTION: Dolasilla to investigate the status of harvest and report back [18:36] #action belkinsa to draft up blog post re: "What people are doing" project [18:36] ACTION: belkinsa to draft up blog post re: "What people are doing" project [18:36] #action pleia2 to create Roadmap-T wiki page [18:36] ACTION: pleia2 to create Roadmap-T wiki page [18:37] #topic Any other business (AOB) [18:37] Nope. [18:37] anyone else have any comments, ideas, etc before we wrap up? :) [18:37] Wel,, I do. [18:38] go for it [18:38] I do when belkinsa is done [18:38] About the image of the group out reaching past the circle of Ubuntu. Maybe it's a good idea to get article in a non-Ubuntu mag? [18:39] In another Linux mag, is what I mean. [18:39] about Ubuntu Women specifically? [18:39] Yes, and what the members are doing in the community and that stuff. [18:39] It could bring more women in. [18:41] yeah, we can certainly look into that [18:41] Cool, thanks. [18:42] * belkinsa nods to Cheri703 [18:42] my question is what time frame are we on with leadership terms? I know that we had the most recent election a while back...I can't remember [18:43] I think we'll be doing an election next summer [18:43] ok, just curious :) [18:43] for all 3 spots (we have 4 now because there was a tie) [18:44] Cheri703: don't you want to be a leader FOREVER? :) [18:45] well obviously [18:45] hehe [18:45] lol [18:45] lol [18:45] oh, also worth mentioning that we wrapped up our scavenger hunt! [18:45] #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/10/scavenger-hunt-results/ [18:45] thanks to Cheri703 for leading up that effort and getting the prizes sorted + shipped to the winners :) [18:46] 38 submissions is not bad...! [18:46] also, someone other than me needs to do art things (isn't that trophy clip art beautiful? oh gosh...) [18:46] hehe [18:47] I should be banned from inkscape [18:47] alright, anything else? [18:47] Nope. [18:48] no [18:48] ok, thanks everyone! [18:48] Not a problem. [18:48] and it was great to see new faces, thanks for coming anna_! [18:48] thank you :) [18:49] #endmeeting [18:49] Meeting ended Tue Oct 8 18:49:16 2013 UTC.
