18:01:54 <Cheri703> o/
18:02:24 * cfmckee Cindy McKee observing
18:03:04 <pleia2> nice to see a new face, welcome cfmckee!
18:03:10 <akk> o/
18:03:27 <pleia2> so we don't really have much on the agenda: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/March2012/Agenda
18:03:38 <pleia2> [link] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-p-ubuntu-women-project-goals
18:03:41 <Cheri703> oh, I forgot to add something
18:03:43 * Cheri703 goes to do it
18:03:46 <pleia2> :)
18:04:12 <pleia2> akgraner has finished up her review of the mentoring program and other similar mentoring programs throughout FOSS and at the last meeting we discussed her findings
18:04:22 <System76Chick> I am here!
18:04:36 <pleia2> we'll be sticking with informal, helping each other find resources on list and in channel and however we can
18:04:40 <pleia2> welcome System76Chick :)
18:05:13 <pleia2> jledbetter, nigelb - any progress on reaching out the railsbridge / pystar communities?
18:05:22 <pleia2> (it's ok if not, just looking for status and if you need help :))
18:05:39 <jledbetter> No update from me. I think nigelb emailed me but I'm a lot behind. Sorry nigelb :(
18:05:50 <nigelb> Yeah, no update form me either.
18:05:59 <nigelb> I'll try to get something before the next meeting
18:07:32 <pleia2> ok, thanks
18:07:48 <pleia2> as far as website stuff, ubuntu-women.org now points to wiki.ubuntu-women.org :)
18:08:02 <Cheri703> added :)
18:08:03 <akgraner> o/  -sorry I'm late
18:08:04 <pleia2> the front page of wiki.ubuntu-women.org can only be edited by admins
18:08:53 <jledbetter> That'll help with spammers, eh?
18:08:56 <pleia2> review of wiki pages for content continues, anyone can pitch in here if they find a wiki page that is out of date, either fix it or let someone know it needs to be updated
18:09:23 <pleia2> jledbetter: yeah, we haven't really had a problem but I don't want to end up having a problem on our main landing page
18:09:31 <jledbetter> Good idea.
18:09:50 <pleia2> bad guys messing with subpages is the price we pay for collaboration (but that hasn't been a problem really either now with launchpad integration)
18:10:25 <pleia2> but the main landing page shouldn't need many changes, so we can keep it restricted
18:10:54 <pleia2> I meant to email Susan about the final blueprint item, I might have said I'd do that but then didn't
18:11:21 <pleia2> [action] pleia2 to email susan-spencer about UW audience profiles
18:11:21 * meetingology pleia2 to email susan-spencer about UW audience profiles
18:11:57 <pleia2> I think that's it when it comes to the blueprint
18:12:04 <pleia2> #topic Call for Career Days Participation
18:12:07 <pleia2> Cheri703: all yours!
18:12:26 <Cheri703> Hey folks, we've had some awesome CareerDays sessions thus far, but...we want/need more!
18:12:50 <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/CareerDays
18:12:56 <Cheri703> Anyone who works in/around IT or some peripherally related field (documentation, etc) is welcome to present
18:13:08 <Cheri703> we basically are looking for a "day in the life" and a "how I got here" type of thing.
18:13:22 <Cheri703> Check out the link (thanks pleia2) for logs and examples of past sessions
18:13:33 <Cheri703> I'd love to find someone to present for March, but if not, definitely by April
18:14:43 <Cheri703> Honestly I think at this point we can/should open it up to "anyone who works doing anything that can be remotely related to being useful for ubuntu participation as well"
18:14:51 <Cheri703> (to at least keep it sort of relevant to u-w ;) )
18:15:52 <System76Chick> I know I'm not a developer, but I'm really into being a promoter and work at System76 as the press and marketing liaison
18:16:00 <Cheri703> Absolutely!
18:16:28 <Cheri703> we are not just looking for developers, we are looking for a variety of things
18:17:00 <Cheri703> I'm good with opening it up beyond IT, any thoughts from others?
18:17:46 <pleia2> yeah, it may be interesting to see a session about "I don't work in IT, but my open source career is..."
18:17:54 <Cheri703> definitely
18:18:03 <akk> Absolutely.
18:18:04 <pleia2> and I'd love to hear about System76Chick's job :)
18:18:21 <jledbetter> Me too :)
18:18:34 <System76Chick> Cool! I'd love to do a career days. I think it would be a good perspective because it's a totally awesome atmosphere working for an Ubuntu only company
18:19:02 <System76Chick> and being the only woman is the most different job I've ever had!
18:19:36 <pleia2> great
18:20:15 <pleia2> Cheri703: want to coordinate and then just let me know so I can add it to the classroom calendar?
18:20:19 <Cheri703> anyone interested in participating, please either add yourself to the wiki page, or email me at cheri703@ubuntu.com
18:20:23 <Cheri703> yeah, definitely pleia2, thanks
18:20:29 <pleia2> \o/
18:20:59 <pleia2> System76Chick: while I have you, I got the nail decals - thank you! Mind if I blog about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1919799 on blog.ubuntu-women.org ?
18:22:06 <Cheri703> for the record, that was all I had on CareerDays, unless anyone else has any thoughts
18:23:05 <pleia2> great, thanks :)
18:23:11 <pleia2> #topic Other announcements, misc
18:23:12 <System76Chick> I'd love to see a blog post about it!
18:23:20 <pleia2> System76Chick: great, I'll get to it this week :)
18:23:26 * pleia2 needs to do her nails so there is a photo!
18:23:48 <pleia2> Registration for UDS has opened: http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/
18:24:02 <pleia2> it's free to attend :)
18:24:16 <pleia2> and we'll be doing an Ubuntu Women dinner on Thursday evening of the event
18:24:24 <Cheri703> heh, if I get any of the california jobs I'm applying to, maybe I'll be out there by then ;) (DOUBTFUL)
18:24:31 <pleia2> hehe
18:24:47 <jledbetter> That'd be awesome:)
18:25:07 <pleia2> all three of us in one place, the country might fall over
18:25:13 <jledbetter> lol!
18:25:18 <Cheri703> it would, but somehow I don't think <2 months from application to already moved in and able to take a week off is going to happen
18:25:19 <Cheri703> hehe
18:25:34 <pleia2> ok, anything else?
18:25:46 <System76Chick> Speaking of UDS, does anyone have good sources for marketing swag? We are supposed to be bringing it to UDS and I'm not getting the best quotes. I have to watch the office while the guys go to the summit :(
18:26:23 <pleia2> System76Chick: I've used vistaprint for Ubuntu Women stuff, but, while cheap, I wouldn't go as far as to say they're great quality wise for everything
18:27:02 <System76Chick> What kind of swag would you guys like from our booth at the summit?
18:27:38 <pleia2> stickers :)
18:27:43 <System76Chick> I think Ubuntu Coffee cups would be SWEET
18:28:03 <Cheri703> reusable water bottles are good too for the non-coffee/cold drink set
18:28:11 <System76Chick> Great idea!
18:28:19 <pleia2> Canonical sells Ubuntu Coffee Cups so you'll want to be careful trademark-wise
18:28:39 * jledbetter likes stickers too
18:29:08 <Cheri703> free laptops = awesome swag! >.>
18:29:46 <Cheri703> already branded too!
18:29:52 <System76Chick> I will be careful with the trademark stuff
18:29:53 <jledbetter> lol!
18:30:01 <jledbetter> A giveaway would be sweet indeed
18:30:44 <System76Chick> Free laptops lol. That would be INCREDIBLE! They are bringing our secret products to show off, a week before they all launch. That will be cool
18:31:16 <pleia2> oh, after our next meeting I'll make the blueprint for UDS, but I did want to mention that I casually mentioned on list that we'd be creating a theme for blog.ubuntu-women.org over the summer, I intend to add that as a blueprint item that we can discuss at UDS
18:31:30 <pleia2> (it's currently using the default, and the header image is HUGE, everyone complains)
18:31:31 <AlanBell> maybe the planet too
18:31:49 <Cheri703> big header = bad for netbooks or phones
18:31:55 <pleia2> wow, the planet is broken right now
18:32:09 <Cheri703> maybe *fixing* the planet should be on the blueprint
18:32:14 <pleia2> indeed!
18:32:20 <pleia2> I didn't realize it was looking so bad
18:32:33 <pleia2> http://www.ubuntu-women.org/uw.png
18:32:34 <System76Chick> There are some awesome wordpress themes I can look into and make a list of the ones without xlarge headers. I browse themes all day.
18:32:37 <pleia2> doh, it's because of our redirect
18:32:48 <pleia2> we actually were linking to stuff on ubuntu-women.org, oops
18:33:04 <AlanBell> oh so it is
18:33:24 <AlanBell> hmm, interesting. . . I wonder if it can be fixed just by putting stuff in the right place on the wiki
18:34:00 <pleia2> #action pleia2 to look into fixing planet
18:34:00 * meetingology pleia2 to look into fixing planet
18:34:18 <pleia2> might just be able to upload them to planet.ubuntu-women.org directly and change the links, I'll probably need a ticket to do it though
18:34:29 <pleia2> I still have access to the files from the old site
18:35:31 <pleia2> I think that's it, unless anyone else has anything?
18:36:50 <Cheri703> I'm all set
18:40:09 <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone :)
