Who all is here for the meeting? :) 18:01:36 +1 18:01:44 o/ 18:01:54 o/ 18:02:24 * cfmckee Cindy McKee observing 18:03:04 nice to see a new face, welcome cfmckee! 18:03:10 o/ 18:03:27 so we don't really have much on the agenda: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/March2012/Agenda 18:03:38 [link] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-p-ubuntu-women-project-goals 18:03:41 oh, I forgot to add something 18:03:43 * Cheri703 goes to do it 18:03:46 :) 18:04:12 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 I am here! 18:04:36 we'll be sticking with informal, helping each other find resources on list and in channel and however we can 18:04:40 welcome System76Chick :) 18:05:13 jledbetter, nigelb - any progress on reaching out the railsbridge / pystar communities? 18:05:22 (it's ok if not, just looking for status and if you need help :)) 18:05:39 No update from me. I think nigelb emailed me but I'm a lot behind. Sorry nigelb :( 18:05:50 Yeah, no update form me either. 18:05:59 I'll try to get something before the next meeting 18:07:32 ok, thanks 18:07:48 as far as website stuff, ubuntu-women.org now points to wiki.ubuntu-women.org :) 18:08:02 added :) 18:08:03 o/ -sorry I'm late 18:08:04 the front page of wiki.ubuntu-women.org can only be edited by admins 18:08:53 That'll help with spammers, eh? 18:08:56 review of wiki pages for content continues, anyone can pitch in here if they find a wiki page that is out of date, either fix it or let someone know it needs to be updated 18:09:23 jledbetter: yeah, we haven't really had a problem but I don't want to end up having a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 Good idea. 18:09:50 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 but the main landing page shouldn't need many changes, so we can keep it restricted 18:10:54 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 [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 I think that's it when it comes to the blueprint 18:12:04 #topic Call for Career Days Participation 18:12:07 Cheri703: all yours! 18:12:26 Hey folks, we've had some awesome CareerDays sessions thus far, but...we want/need more! 18:12:50 #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/CareerDays 18:12:56 Anyone who works in/around IT or some peripherally related field (documentation, etc) is welcome to present 18:13:08 we basically are looking for a "day in the life" and a "how I got here" type of thing. 18:13:22 Check out the link (thanks pleia2) for logs and examples of past sessions 18:13:33 I'd love to find someone to present for March, but if not, definitely by April 18:14:43 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 (to at least keep it sort of relevant to u-w ;) ) 18:15:52 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 Absolutely! 18:16:28 we are not just looking for developers, we are looking for a variety of things 18:17:00 I'm good with opening it up beyond IT, any thoughts from others? 18:17:46 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 definitely 18:18:03 Absolutely. 18:18:04 and I'd love to hear about System76Chick's job :) 18:18:21 Me too :) 18:18:34 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 and being the only woman is the most different job I've ever had! 18:19:36 great 18:20:15 Cheri703: want to coordinate and then just let me know so I can add it to the classroom calendar? 18:20:19 anyone interested in participating, please either add yourself to the wiki page, or email me at cheri703@ubuntu.com 18:20:23 yeah, definitely pleia2, thanks 18:20:29 \o/ 18:20:59 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 for the record, that was all I had on CareerDays, unless anyone else has any thoughts 18:23:05 great, thanks :) 18:23:11 #topic Other announcements, misc 18:23:12 I'd love to see a blog post about it! 18:23:20 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 Registration for UDS has opened: http://uds.ubuntu.com/register/ 18:24:02 it's free to attend :) 18:24:16 and we'll be doing an Ubuntu Women dinner on Thursday evening of the event 18:24:24 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 hehe 18:24:47 That'd be awesome:) 18:25:07 all three of us in one place, the country might fall over 18:25:13 lol! 18:25:18 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 hehe 18:25:34 ok, anything else? 18:25:46 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 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 What kind of swag would you guys like from our booth at the summit? 18:27:38 stickers :) 18:27:43 I think Ubuntu Coffee cups would be SWEET 18:28:03 reusable water bottles are good too for the non-coffee/cold drink set 18:28:11 Great idea! 18:28:19 Canonical sells Ubuntu Coffee Cups so you'll want to be careful trademark-wise 18:28:39 * jledbetter likes stickers too 18:29:08 free laptops = awesome swag! >.> 18:29:46 already branded too! 18:29:52 I will be careful with the trademark stuff 18:29:53 lol! 18:30:01 A giveaway would be sweet indeed 18:30:44 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 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 (it's currently using the default, and the header image is HUGE, everyone complains) 18:31:31 maybe the planet too 18:31:49 big header = bad for netbooks or phones 18:31:55 wow, the planet is broken right now 18:32:09 maybe *fixing* the planet should be on the blueprint 18:32:14 indeed! 18:32:20 I didn't realize it was looking so bad 18:32:33 http://www.ubuntu-women.org/uw.png 18:32:34 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 doh, it's because of our redirect 18:32:48 we actually were linking to stuff on ubuntu-women.org, oops 18:33:04 oh so it is 18:33:24 hmm, interesting. . . I wonder if it can be fixed just by putting stuff in the right place on the wiki 18:34:00 #action pleia2 to look into fixing planet 18:34:00 * meetingology pleia2 to look into fixing planet 18:34:18 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 I still have access to the files from the old site 18:35:31 I think that's it, unless anyone else has anything? 18:36:50 I'm all set 18:40:09 ok, thanks everyone :) 18:40:13 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
