[18:02] <Dolasilla> hi all, sorry, little late
[18:02] <pleia2> so we made a nice dent in our blueprint :)
[18:02] <Cheri703> here, had to reboot computer
[18:02] <pleia2> pretty much the only things left are career days sessions, which we'll POSTPONE until next cycle
[18:03] <pleia2> I'll be making these a higher priority on my list as we've had direct interest in doing more of them
[18:03] <pleia2> oh, I should say that release is on October 17th, so new cycle starts soon :)
[18:04] <Dolasilla> pleia2, shall we add to the bluprint the review of the content on the site?
[18:04] <pleia2> we'll be participating in the online UDS in November as well to hash our ideas: http://uds.ubuntu.com/
[18:04] <pleia2> Dolasilla: we should probably put a wiki page together of things we want to discuss for blueprint goals
[18:04] <Dolasilla> pleia2, right
[18:05] <belkinsa> That can work or maybe a LP page for the ease of editing?
[18:05] <pleia2> http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/RoadMap
[18:05] <pleia2> so we can create a Roadmap-S
[18:05] <pleia2> err -T
[18:05]  * belkinsa nods
[18:05] <pleia2> we never had one for -S, virtualized UDS threw us for a loop
[18:06] <pleia2> I'll create that as we get closer to UDS so we can all chime in
[18:06] <pleia2> anyway, great job everyone this cycle :)
[18:07] <pleia2> #topic Revisting the discussion about "Improvements to GetInvolved page"
[18:07] <pleia2> belkinsa: the floor is yours!
[18:07] <belkinsa> Thank you, pleia2.
[18:08] <belkinsa> We made some progress with the GetInolved Page Project.
[18:09] <belkinsa> We have the 'What People are Doing page" up and ready for your stories of you guys got involved with Ubuntu.
[18:09] <pleia2> http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/GIWPI
[18:09] <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/GIWPI
[18:09] <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/WhatPeopleAreDoing
[18:10] <belkinsa> You can e-mail me the stories or you can add them yourself if you have the skills to edit wiki pages.
[18:10] <belkinsa> There is no deadline to this.
[18:10] <pleia2> thanks for taking initiative on this :)
[18:10] <pleia2> it's a great idea
[18:10] <belkinsa> Not a problem.
[18:10] <belkinsa> Any questions so far?
[18:11] <Dolasilla> no, clear and looks pretty nice to me!
[18:11] <belkinsa> Okay.
[18:11] <pleia2> belkinsa: do you have any specific tasks folks can work on to help with the getting involved page?
[18:12] <belkinsa> Not at the moment, but since you mentioned it, I can think about this.  Thank you.
[18:12] <pleia2> 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] <belkinsa> I'm interested in this idea of posting a call on the blog.
[18:13] <pleia2> great, sync up with me via email with some proposed text and we'll get something up :)
[18:13] <Dolasilla> belkinsa, are you still thinking of putting in place the quiz to find the best team for getting involved?
[18:13] <belkinsa> Okay.
[18:14] <belkinsa> I am and this was the next thing that I was going to bring up.
[18:15] <belkinsa> Is it safe to move on to the quiz idea?
[18:15] <pleia2> so the current problem is we have no where to host it
[18:15] <pleia2> I was thinking we should instead put our efforts into getting it included on community.ubuntu.com
[18:15] <belkinsa> Yes, to help the others in the community.
[18:16] <Dolasilla> makes sense
[18:16] <pleia2> belkinsa: dholbach is lead on community.ubuntu.com, I can put you in touch with him if that would be helpful
[18:16] <belkinsa> Okay, I will e-mail him about hosting the quiz.
[18:17] <belkinsa> Wait, never mind. Thank you for doing this.
[18:19] <belkinsa> Safe to move on to last idea?
[18:20] <pleia2> I'd say so
[18:20] <pleia2> #topic Discuss survey results part 2
[18:20] <pleia2> #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/10/ubuntu-women-survey-2013-results-part-2/
[18:20] <pleia2> so based on feedback, belkinsa is totally on the right track with improving our Getting Involved stuff :)
[18:22] <Dolasilla> true :)
[18:22] <pleia2> it was nice to see some fresh ideas for things we can be doing too
[18:22] <pleia2> now we just need to drum up the volunteers to make it happen ;)
[18:22] <belkinsa> Yup.
[18:24] <pleia2> anyone else have any comments?
[18:24] <belkinsa> I have one suggestion about for the developers type of people not knowing how to get into a project.
[18:24] <Dolasilla> one of the point is to create online projects..
[18:24] <belkinsa> Maybe a wiki page with a list of active projects that they can look through?
[18:25] <Dolasilla> yes would make sense, but we would need to find good ideas to populate it
[18:25] <anna_> this developer type of person would like that
[18:26] <pleia2> Dolasilla: yeah, I think that's always been the challenge
[18:27] <pleia2> it would be great to see though
[18:27] <anna_> do you know experienced developers who might have 'boring' stuff lying around which they don't have time/priority for?
[18:28] <anna_> it might be not-so-boring for people who are just starting :)
[18:28] <pleia2> 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] <pleia2> it takes a fair amount of effort to put a task into something that a new developer can tackle
[18:29] <anna_> and then there's quality control, yes
[18:29] <pleia2> 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] <Dolasilla> pleia2, there was something setup by daniel time ago, no? little bug fixes to get started with coding?
[18:30] <Dolasilla> could we reuse that?
[18:31] <pleia2> Dolasilla: yes, a long time ago, might be something we can look into
[18:31] <Dolasilla> I will try to retrieve the link
[18:31] <pleia2> http://harvest.ubuntu.com/
[18:32] <Dolasilla> :D
[18:32] <Dolasilla> thanks pleia2! :D
[18:32] <belkinsa> Is it still alive?
[18:32] <pleia2> no
[18:32] <belkinsa> I see.
[18:32] <pleia2> but it could be resurrected
[18:32] <belkinsa> It could.
[18:32] <pleia2> since it already exists I think Dolasilla is right, this would be a good starting point
[18:32] <belkinsa> Maybe with the help of the community.
[18:33] <pleia2> anyone want to take some time to browse the status of harvest and put together a quick report for the team?
[18:34] <Dolasilla> pleia2, I can take that
[18:34] <pleia2> thanks!

[18:37] <pleia2> #topic Any other business (AOB)
[18:37] <belkinsa> Nope.
[18:37] <pleia2> anyone else have any comments, ideas, etc before we wrap up? :)
[18:37] <belkinsa> Wel,, I do.
[18:38] <pleia2> go for it
[18:38] <Cheri703> I do when belkinsa is done
[18:38] <belkinsa> 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] <belkinsa> In another Linux mag, is what I mean.
[18:39] <pleia2> about Ubuntu Women specifically?
[18:39] <belkinsa> Yes, and what the members are doing in the community and that stuff.
[18:39] <belkinsa> It could bring more women in.
[18:41] <pleia2> yeah, we can certainly look into that
[18:41] <belkinsa> Cool, thanks.
[18:42]  * belkinsa nods to Cheri703
[18:42] <Cheri703> 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] <pleia2> I think we'll be doing an election next summer
[18:43] <Cheri703> ok, just curious :)
[18:43] <pleia2> for all 3 spots (we have 4 now because there was a tie)
[18:44] <pleia2> Cheri703: don't you want to be a leader FOREVER? :)
[18:45] <Cheri703> well obviously
[18:45] <pleia2> hehe
[18:45] <Dolasilla> lol
[18:45] <belkinsa> lol
[18:45] <pleia2> oh, also worth mentioning that we wrapped up our scavenger hunt!
[18:45] <pleia2> #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/10/scavenger-hunt-results/
[18:45] <pleia2> thanks to Cheri703 for leading up that effort and getting the prizes sorted + shipped to the winners :)
[18:46] <Dolasilla> 38 submissions is not bad...!
[18:46] <pleia2> also, someone other than me needs to do art things (isn't that trophy clip art beautiful? oh gosh...)
[18:46] <pleia2> hehe
[18:47] <pleia2> I should be banned from inkscape
[18:47] <pleia2> alright, anything else?
[18:47] <belkinsa> Nope.
[18:48] <Dolasilla> no
[18:48] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone!
[18:48] <belkinsa> Not a problem.
[18:48] <pleia2> and it was great to see new faces, thanks for coming anna_!
[18:48] <anna_> thank you :)
