 20:11:25 <nigelb> \o

 20:11:45 <Cheri703> o/

 20:12:24 <valorie> o/

 20:12:30 <valorie> by chance!

 20:12:44 <jledbetter> #topic Oneiric Blueprint progress

 20:13:17 <AlanBell> ooh, that was a bug

 20:13:26 <nigelb> heh

 20:13:27 <jledbetter> All caps?

 20:13:34 <nigelb> testing in production?

 20:13:41 <IdleOne> o/

 20:13:41 <jledbetter> nigelb, Haha!

 20:13:42 <AlanBell> try now :)

 20:13:51 <jledbetter> #topic Oneiric Blueprint progress

 20:14:00 <jledbetter> Grand! Thanks, AlanBell :)

 20:14:28 <jledbetter> #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-o-ubuntu-women-project-goals

 20:14:43 <jledbetter> Hm.

 20:14:48 <jledbetter> Anyway. There's the link ;)

 20:14:54 <AlanBell> what is the blocker on the wiki theme update?

 20:15:05 <pleia2> I haven't had time to finish going through the open bugs

 20:15:19 <AlanBell> I only noticed today that it hadn't been done, I have been using the new theme when logged in for ages

 20:16:02 <nigelb> Nothing to update on mentoring yet. I've been swaped. I'd assume likewise for Amber as well.

 20:16:17 <AlanBell> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org

 20:16:30 <valorie> swaped=swamped + swiped ?

 20:16:34 <jledbetter> hehe

 20:16:39 <nigelb> *swamped :P

 20:16:53 <valorie> :-)

 20:17:07 <jledbetter> Ok. Wiki in progress. Mentoring in progress.

 20:17:19 <jledbetter> AlanBell, Did you want to mention anything regarding the competition?

 20:17:54 <AlanBell> pleased it is out there

 20:17:56 <jledbetter> BTW, I updated the U-W home page with a link to it.

 20:18:25 <jledbetter> Me too :) Gonna be fun. If memory serves, the announcement's on various social media sites and been emailed to u-w mailing list.

 20:18:26 <AlanBell> someone needs to go begging for prizes

 20:18:45 <jledbetter> Someone?

 20:18:59 <nigelb> Yeah

 20:19:09 <AlanBell> someone that isn't me :)

 20:19:24 <pleia2> akgraner still works for linux pro, so she said she could help with that

 20:19:42 <AlanBell> silbs did indicate at UDS that she would be willing to support competitions

 20:19:56 <jledbetter> Anyone offering to lead up prize gathering?

 20:21:02 <jledbetter> valorie, Can you lead gathering of prizes? :)

 20:21:20 <valorie> oooo, I guess so -- whom should I contact?

 20:21:45 <jledbetter> #action valorie will gather up prizes for the competition

 20:21:45 * meetingology valorie will gather up prizes for the competition

 20:22:11 <jledbetter> valorie, silbs and akgraner (linux pro) and... I'm not sure what last years' prizes were honestly. AlanBell: ideas?

 20:22:32 <valorie> silbs is Jane Silber?

 20:23:18 <valorie> I can ask Google, for sure

 20:23:39 <valorie> Carols will head me somewhere if she can't hook us up

 20:23:43 <pleia2> maybe contact o'reilly too since we're "MAKEing things" :)

 20:23:55 <jledbetter> Good idea, pleia2.

 20:24:03 <valorie> bkerensa has that contact, I'll hit him up for the info

 20:24:09 <jledbetter> valorie, And I'm not sure who silbs is so was waitin' :)

 20:24:14 <valorie> heh

 20:24:18 <jledbetter> Awesome! Thank you!

 20:24:22 <pleia2> yes, that's Jane

 20:24:27 <jledbetter> Are we ineligible to enter then? ;)

 20:24:38 <pleia2> I think we're all eligible

 20:24:49 <jledbetter> Great.

 20:24:54 <AlanBell> jledbetter: the prizes were pretty good last time, I don't think there are any expectations on what they should be though, any token would be fine

 20:25:17 <valorie> jono might have some ideas too

 20:25:45 <valorie> how many prizes am I trying to get?

 20:25:51 <AlanBell> not masses

 20:25:57 <valorie> right.....

 20:26:16 <valorie> but 5? 10?

 20:26:41 <valorie> someone will have to judge, and award prizes

 20:26:44 <valorie> correct?

 20:26:55 <jledbetter> I think we're all voting, right, AlanBell?

 20:27:03 <jledbetter> We put the entry on the blog and then at the end, vote?

 20:27:03 <pleia2> I think at the last meeting we decided it would be a vote

 20:27:11 <valorie> ok

 20:27:13 <valorie> :-)

 20:27:27 <AlanBell> voting somehow

 20:27:31 <jledbetter> Yes

 20:27:46 <jledbetter> Maybe like the last one? Wasn't that with pollka?

 20:27:52 <AlanBell> it was

 20:28:01 <valorie> there is google vote, if nothing else - or monkeypoll or whatever that is

 20:28:08 <valorie> Pollka is cute

 20:28:08 <AlanBell> and it could be adapted and pressed into service again

 20:28:10 <valorie> too

 20:28:19 <AlanBell> but we have weeks and weeks to figure out that bit :)

 20:28:36 <jledbetter> Yep! We can add prizes over time too ;)

 20:28:45 <AlanBell> yup

 20:28:54 <AlanBell> just don't want more prizes than entries!

 20:29:15 <valorie> heh

 20:29:27 <jledbetter> True. Well if that happens, we can lump up prizes to make grander prizes.

 20:29:47 <valorie> very true

 20:30:16 <valorie> if I score some smaller bits, they might go together kit-like very nicely

 20:30:39 <valorie> shall I have stuff shipped to me, or ask them to drop-ship?

 20:31:09 <AlanBell> just get prize offers first

 20:31:14 <valorie> ok

 20:31:22 <AlanBell> vouchers would be good

 20:32:01 <valorie> INDEED

 20:32:19 <AlanBell> or a lillypad :)

 20:32:25 <jledbetter> Heh

 20:33:04 <jledbetter> Anything else on Ada Lovelace Day?

 20:33:38 <jledbetter> valorie, Thank you again for gathering the prizes :)

 20:34:05 <jledbetter> Cheri703, Anything more on Career Days?

 20:34:16 <Cheri703> oh, sorry, was distracte

 20:34:17 <Cheri703> d

 20:34:29 <Cheri703> yes! we are doing our first one on 9/24 at 1600 UTC!

 20:34:34 <Cheri703> It will be pleia2

 20:34:39 <jledbetter> Fantastic!

 20:34:42 <Cheri703> I meant to send it to the mailing list yesterday, will do so today

 20:34:50 <Cheri703> and then it can get put out to the various blogs and such

 20:34:55 <pleia2> oh wait, 24?

 20:35:10 <Cheri703> I thought?

 20:35:13 <Cheri703> maybe I'm wrong?

 20:35:14 <pleia2> that conflicts with user days, I thought we were going for the 17th

 20:35:16 <Cheri703> you said 24 the other day

 20:35:18 <Cheri703> oh, ok

 20:35:24 <Cheri703> 17 works too

 20:35:31 <pleia2> sorry, I might have, but I hadded 17th to my calendar :)

 20:35:42 <Cheri703> ok, good thing I didn't send to list!

 20:35:47 <Cheri703> so 9/17!

 20:36:36 <jledbetter> #info The first career day will be 9/17 at 1600 UTC and will be done by pleia2

 20:36:43 <nigelb> Are we blogging for Ada Lovelace day?

 20:37:06 <jledbetter> nigelb, I thought the competition was it.

 20:37:26 <jledbetter> Part of making could be making words.

 20:37:29 <nigelb> okay :)

 20:38:10 <jledbetter> That's what I thought but I could be wrong. Should we do a blogging thing too?

 20:38:33 <pleia2> the whole world will be doing the blogging thing

 20:38:41 <jledbetter> True

 20:38:48 <pleia2> we can pass along info about the blogging day to our members, but it's not really something we need to do as our own project

 20:39:31 <jledbetter> Sounds good.

 20:40:13 <jledbetter> #topic Announcements, etc

 20:40:18 <jledbetter> Any announcements, etc? :)

 20:40:57 <pleia2> Ubuntu User Days is coming up on the 24-25th

 20:41:13 <pleia2> we still need instructors :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays

 20:41:34 <pleia2> these are all application-geared type tutorials

 20:41:50 <nigelb> and maybe some help running the event, especially if you've done classroom sessions before

 20:42:08 <pleia2> so if you know all about thunderbird, you can do a session on that

 20:42:46 <jledbetter> #info pleia2 and nigelb mentioned Ubuntu User Days is 24-25. Instructors and volunteers needed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays

 20:42:51 <pleia2> anyway, if anyone is interested just let me know or drop by #ubuntu-classroom-backstage

 20:43:46 <jledbetter> Great.:)

 20:43:51 <jledbetter> Anything else from the floor?

 20:44:36 <valorie> I would totally attend a Tbird session

 20:45:12 <valorie> I'll check my calendar -- might be able to do another Kubuntu one if no one else is covering that

 20:45:35 <pleia2> darkwingduck is doing the kde portion of a kubuntu and xubuntu session

 20:45:42 <valorie> oh cool

 20:45:46 <valorie> he's excellent

 20:45:50 <pleia2> yeah :)

 20:47:27 <jledbetter> Alright. Since nothing else....
