[18:00] <Mikaela> o/
[18:01] <amani_glugcal> Who all are present
[18:01] <amani_glugcal> ?
[18:02] <rebeka> Hello
[18:02] <amani_glugcal> Welcome Rebeka

[18:04] <amani_glugcal> #topic local events with Fedora
[18:05] <amani_glugcal> As of now we have one joint event with Fedora (in Kolkata) ... is anybody planning more?
[18:06] <amani_glugcal> Reference: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WWFS-FWD'2016
[18:07] <amani_glugcal> The Kolkata event plans are going  fine.... funding is under discussion elsewhere
[18:07] <amani_glugcal> any questions?
[18:10] <amani_glugcal> OK, moving to next topic
[18:11] <amani_glugcal> #topic Future Plans
[18:13] <amani_glugcal> I think the only way forward is through more pro-active collaborations with diverse organizations
[18:14] <Mikaela> It would benefit multiple organizations and possibly work better than working alone
[18:15] <amani_glugcal> Yes, we know LoCos have not proved to be sustainable because of policies and sticking to a narrow base
[18:17] <amani_glugcal> Fedora tends to concentrate more on college students
[18:18] <amani_glugcal> that approach is not sustainable
[18:18] <amani_glugcal> We have discussed most of UW problems before
[18:20] <amani_glugcal> Collaborative software and field projects are important
[18:20] <amani_glugcal> What can you think of?
[18:22] <amani_glugcal> I think ecology intersection FOSS efforts never took off
[18:24] <amani_glugcal> Diversity intersection UW has been relatively better
[18:26] <amani_glugcal> A few high impact scientific s/w are missing .... ones that are AI enhanced (like automatic article writers)
[18:26] <amani_glugcal> knowledge related Projects: I have mentioned before
[18:27] <amani_glugcal> any new suggestions?
[18:28] <amani_glugcal> I will make a list of things in addition to new ones for our future
[18:30] <amani_glugcal> #action A Mani to make a detailed list of future project plans for improving sustainability of UW
[18:30] <meetingology> ACTION: A Mani to make a detailed list of future project plans for improving sustainability of UW
[18:30] <amani_glugcal> Shall we move to next topic?
[18:32] <amani_glugcal> #topic open session
[18:32] <amani_glugcal> Please come forward with your questions/subtopics/suggestions
[18:33] <Mikaela> I guess so
[18:36] <amani_glugcal> Questions?
[18:37] <Mikaela> oh, sorry, I lissed that line, ai have one
[18:38] <amani_glugcal> yes, please
[18:39] <Mikaela> would it make any sense to also start Telegram group which could be bridged to IRC? Antergos has attracted some new people to real time support that way and Ubuntu LGBT* also has a group. It has lesser learning curve than IRC and doesn't need bouncers/terminal multiplexers or anything else than phone number (not shown to anyone) and supported platform (FOSS client and I don't know any platform
[18:39] <Mikaela> that didn't have some kind of client).
[18:41] <amani_glugcal> sure
[18:41] <amani_glugcal> I do know lot of lgbt people who are not that competent with s/w
[18:42] <amani_glugcal> so how do you plan to go about it?
[18:43] <Mikaela> I run bot for Antergos/Antergos ops/personal channel and if needed could run one for UW, but I won't do it without more people giving permission
[18:44] <amani_glugcal> yes, that makes sense... the community team should look into this
[18:44] <amani_glugcal> post to community team mailing list
[18:44] <amani_glugcal> OK?
[18:45] <Mikaela> I am scared of mailing lists and I cannot until tomorrow :(
[18:46] <amani_glugcal> Be brave Mikaela... there are few people on the list ...it is not a dark lonely place :)
[18:48] <amani_glugcal> #action Makaela to post to Community Team ML on Telegram Group Plans
[18:48] <meetingology> ACTION: Makaela to post to Community Team ML on Telegram Group Plans
[18:48] <MarkDude> +1 for Telegram to IRC (/me would like to know some details on it later if possible.)
[18:50] <Mikaela> MarkDude: #teleirc is the software making that possible and you find it from freenode as one running example
[18:51] <amani_glugcal> any other questions/suggestions/...
[18:52] <amani_glugcal> ?
[18:54] <amani_glugcal> We have about 6 mins left
[18:55] <MarkDude> As to amani_glugcal 's event, /me is following up in asking for funding and/or support on Fedora side
[18:56] <Mikaela> and ESC SF1 starts in five minutes and takes people
[18:56] <amani_glugcal> Thanks MarkDude
[18:56] <MarkDude> As to LBGT groups, just let folks know if they want allies or members :)
[18:57] <Mikaela> MarkDude: allies are welcome and the TG group has some of them, it doesn't have IRC bridge though
[18:58] <amani_glugcal> Getting LGBT groups interested in s/w projects is one thing I am working on
[18:58] <Mikaela> I mentioned this meeting (at the start) at that and AW, but I should have done it earlier
[18:59]  * Mikaela disappears to Eurovision semifinal now
[18:59] <amani_glugcal> we have one minute left
[19:00] <MarkDude> +1 whether its as an ally or a member of the groups (depending on their mission.) More voices to represent the plurality we live in
[19:01] <amani_glugcal> Thanks, Thanks everybody for attending
[19:01] <amani_glugcal> Have a nice time
