[18:02] <pleia2> #startmeeting
[18:02] <pleia2> no bot :\
[18:02] <Cheri703> I thought they were sorting that out? :/
[18:02] <pleia2> it was back for a little while, gone from #ubuntu-meeting again now too
[18:03] <pleia2> so we'll do without again :)
[18:03] <pleia2> who all is here for the meeting?
[18:03] <Cheri703> I am
[18:03] <pleia2> Agenda: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/Agenda

[18:03] <pleia2> great
[18:03] <pleia2> #topic Blueprint for Utopic cycle
[18:03] <pleia2> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1406-ubuntu-women
[18:04] <pleia2> this was organized at the Ubuntu Online Summit session, details and video here: http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2014/06/ubuntu-women-at-uos-14-06-session-summary/
[18:04] <pleia2> we haven't had a meeting since that to discuss it on the IRC-side, so if anyone has any thoughts or additions, now is the time to add them
[18:05] <pleia2> right now only belkinsa and I have action items
[18:05]  * pleia2 has no progress to report on hers
[18:06] <amani_glugcal> hola
[18:06] <pleia2> welcome amani_glugcal
[18:06] <pleia2> ok, well we all know where the blueprint is, if anyone has updates they know where to go :)
[18:07] <pleia2> #topic LeadershipElectionProcess Nominee:Position Ratio
[18:07] <pleia2> Cheri703: all yours!
[18:07] <RCheesley_> Hi :))
[18:07] <pleia2> welcome RCheesley_
[18:07] <Cheri703> Yes! So, the election is for the 3 open spots on the leadership team
[18:07] <Cheri703> we have 3 nominees.
[18:08] <pleia2> in some other teams I'm in we've had a vote anyway, so everyone is used to the process, even if the outcome doesn't matter
[18:08] <Cheri703> pleia2 and I have been discussing how that should be handled. Do we still want to have a poll basically? Open up a timeframe for anyone to send the current team concerns or dissent about the 3 and then just name them the leaders? Does anyone have thoughts?
[18:08] <pleia2> it also gives folks a period to raise any concerns (although I think all our nominees are pretty solid)
[18:10] <amani_glugcal> a timeframe for concerns seems reasonable
[18:11] <pleia2> thanks amani :) any other thoughts?
[18:12] <pleia2> Cheri703: ok, sounds like we do election and also use that time for folks to raise concerns (probably to you and Ana - which you can also discuss with the outgoing leadership team since none of us are reapplying)
[18:12] <Cheri703> ok
[18:12] <Cheri703> yeah, I think that sounds reasonable
[18:13] <pleia2> #decided 3 applicants for 3 spots, will still do condorcet election and use that period for any concerns as well
[18:13] <pleia2> #topic Any other business
[18:14] <pleia2> anyone have any other non-agenda-ized items?
[18:15] <pleia2> as I mentioend on list, I'll be reducing my involvement in the project next cycle to focus on my career and some other projects, and there is a bit list of things that I do for the project that other folks should consider doing since I won't anymore, I documented them here: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/lyz
[18:15] <pleia2> s/bit/big
[18:16] <Cheri703> oof, thank you SO MUCH for all of your work over the years!
[18:16] <pleia2> I'll still be available to ping, just won't be active on these tasks anymore
[18:16] <Cheri703> You have taken on tons of stuff
[18:16] <pleia2> Cheri703: thanks for saying so :) too much!
[18:17] <pleia2> some of these projects may just go away without volunteers, but I wanted to give the team a few months heads up before I step out
[18:17] <pleia2> and I'm happy to help anyone who wants to volunteer for any of it
[18:18] <pleia2> so don't be shy :) much of it isn't hard, just tedious and time-based (need to plan meetings on time, pay attention to social media)
[18:19] <pleia2> anyone have anything else?
[18:19] <amani_glugcal> we must reach out to more forums  and how many people actually help with those
[18:20] <pleia2> not many, I try to reply to every new thread where someone is asking for help/acknowledgement, and I'm the only admin aside from forums staff
[18:20] <amani_glugcal> wow
[18:20] <pleia2> so if someone who is active over in forums, I highly encourage them to talk to me so we can get you added as admin too so we can at least handle sticky posts (spam/abuse doesn't happen much and I tend to just use standard reporting tools to forum staff)
[18:21] <amani_glugcal> I do look at G+
[18:21] <pleia2> would be very good to have another admin there, having me as only one is bad :)
[18:22] <amani_glugcal> ok
[18:22] <amani_glugcal> send me the details by mail
[18:23] <pleia2> ok
[18:23] <pleia2> #action pleia2 to send amani details for G+ (and forums too, for good measure!)
[18:23] <pleia2> anything else?
[18:26] <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone
[18:26] <pleia2> have a nice rest of your day :)
[18:26] <pleia2> #endmeeting
[18:26] <Cheri703> thanks, you too! :)
[18:27] <amani_glugcal> thanks all and you too :)
