[18:00]  * Deindre :)
[18:01]  * akk here
[18:01] <pleia2> great, let's dive right in
[18:01] <pleia2> #topic 1305 Blueprint updates
[18:01] <pleia2> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1305-ubuntu-women
[18:01] <pleia2> so everything that wasn't done has now been set to POSTPONED since the release has happened
[18:02] <pleia2> they were just career days things, which I've since added to our roadmap which I want to discuss later in the meeting
[18:02] <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/RoadMap-T
[18:03] <pleia2> #topic Continue Discussing survey results part 2
[18:03] <pleia2> #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/10/ubuntu-women-survey-2013-results-part-2/
[18:03] <pleia2> belkinsa: have comments here?
[18:03] <belkinsa> pleia2 not at this time.
[18:04] <pleia2> ok, anyone else?
[18:04] <pleia2> we kicked off a review of harvest.ubuntu.com based on the feedback
[18:04] <pleia2> #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/11/evaluating-harvest/
[18:04] <pleia2> could use some more folks looking at it :)
[18:05] <belkinsa> Agreed, the only feedback is from me and another person.
[18:05] <pleia2> belkinsa: oh, you might want to follow-up with your mailing list post by putting the text of the etherpad into the email, as they expire pretty quick
[18:05] <pleia2> (can't remember if expiration is 7 or 30 days, but it has caused headaches on other lists)
[18:06] <belkinsa> Thanks for letting me know
[18:06] <belkinsa> And on it
[18:06] <pleia2> \o/
[18:07] <belkinsa> Mind if the content be publicly on the mailing list?
[18:08] <pleia2> all the links are public, should be ok
[18:09] <belkinsa> Okay, thanks.
[18:09] <pleia2> guess we can move on from this topic then
[18:09] <pleia2> #topic Virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit, November 19-21 preparations
[18:10] <pleia2> so, we're in the community track
[18:10] <pleia2> #link http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1311/track/community/
[18:10] <pleia2> currently scheduled for a session on Wednesday at 15:05
[18:10] <pleia2> (7:05 am for me, goodie :))
[18:10] <Deindre> could we use vUDS to reach some team who wish to open their partecipation to new women?
[18:11] <pleia2> Deindre: possibly, have any idea how?
[18:11] <Deindre> I think a frequent request is to have some "practical" issue to work on.
[18:12] <Deindre> I think this could be a great opportunity to meet mentors- to-come
[18:12] <pleia2> currently all we have right now for teams is http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/BestPractices
[18:12] <pleia2> which is more focused on LoCos
[18:13] <Deindre> yes, I mean something more focused on team AND people
[18:13] <pleia2> ok, I'll add it to the roadmap wiki
[18:14] <Deindre> thank you :)
[18:16] <pleia2> ok, chatting about career days, GetInvolved improvements and BestPractices improvements gives us a good place to start with vUDS next week
[18:16] <Deindre> pleia2: is our track tomorrow?
[18:16] <pleia2> Deindre: no, vUDS is next week
[18:17] <Deindre> ok
[18:17] <pleia2> Wednesday the 20th :)
[18:17] <Deindre> I'll write a remeinder on ML
[18:17] <pleia2> great, thanks
[18:18] <pleia2> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1311-ubuntu-women is our empty-ish blueprint
[18:18] <pleia2> (which we'll populate at the session)
[18:18] <pleia2> #topic Any other business (AOB)
[18:18] <pleia2> any other topics folks want to talk about?
[18:19] <Deindre> It seems to me nobody has applied to OPW
[18:19] <Deindre> Do you know is anybody has?
[18:20] <Deindre> IF anybody, sorry :)
[18:21] <pleia2> I know there are lots of applicants this time around (the program is VERY popular) but Ubuntu so far still doesn't have mentors
[18:22] <belkinsa> As a whole commiunty or just us, the women?
[18:22] <Deindre> I think this is a missing opportunity, really. Maybe we could work on it in someways
[18:22] <pleia2> I've reached out to several folks in the community and thus far no one has time to the run the program
[18:22] <akk> OPW?
[18:22] <pleia2> akk: gnome outreach program for women
[18:23] <akk> ah, thanks, didn't know the TLA for it
[18:23] <pleia2> #link http://gnome.org/opw/
[18:23] <belkinsa> TLA?
[18:23] <pleia2> we had the director of the gnome foundation join us a few months ago to talk about it
[18:24] <pleia2> Deindre: if you can find someone to run it (or are able yourself) I'd encourage you to give it a shot :)
[18:24] <akk> belkinsa: three letter acronym
[18:24] <belkinsa> Thank you, akk.
[18:24] <Deindre> I was wondering to candidate myself for a marketing mentoring
[18:24] <pleia2> I can't myself, and haven't found people to help, only people who want to see it happen but can't help :]
[18:24] <akk> belkinsa: If it's four letters it's an ETLA (extended TLA) :)
[18:26] <Deindre> I think since Mark hass been really interested in supporting women outreaches, we should find a way to nourish this opportunity
[18:27] <pleia2> canonical isn't interested in mentoring programs at all really
[18:27] <pleia2> it's all been community-led to even apply for the google summer of code (which we didn't get accepted for this year)
[18:29] <Deindre> mmm this is another reason to help women coming from Ubuntu to apply to OPW/GSoC
[18:29] <Deindre> pleia2: do you agree?
[18:29] <pleia2> Deindre: I certainly think the programs are great :)
[18:30] <pleia2> women participating with Ubuntu should certainly apply if they are in a position to do so, we just don't run one for Ubuntu right now
[18:30] <pleia2> it would be *great* if we did, but I don't have time to lead it (I've also been asked to mentor for another open source project, I just don't have time)
[18:30] <Deindre> let's begin helping in apply properly: since competition is very high, we could support
[18:31] <pleia2> sounds good
[18:31] <Deindre> :)
[18:31] <pleia2> the deadline for this OPW was yesterday, so we'll shoot for the next one
[18:32] <belkinsa> And maybe have a plan to help women to apply?
[18:32] <pleia2> belkinsa: I think that's what Deindre is suggesting
[18:32] <belkinsa> I see.
[18:32] <pleia2> it wouldn't be for Ubuntu, but in general
[18:32] <pleia2> lots of great projects to choose from :)
[18:33] <belkinsa> Doesn't matter, if it helps women in FOSS, it will do.
[18:33] <pleia2> yep
[18:34] <pleia2> ok, anything else before we wrap up?
[18:34] <Deindre> I'm fine :)
[18:35] <belkinsa> I'm fine
[18:35] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone :)
