:) 18:00:56 I'm 18:01:24 #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/Agenda 18:01:29 o/ 18:01:33 o/ 18:01:59 #topic Quantal Blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-q-ubuntu-women-project-goals 18:02:26 I think we may just breeze through this one since I haven't had a chance to update it yet, and instead just go on to what was discussed at UDS (since that will flesh out this blueprint) 18:02:44 so that's where we will add our action items for the cycle once we're talked about them now :) 18:03:05 #topic Discuss UDS and action items 18:03:20 wow i have good timing 18:03:36 I've uploaded notes from our session here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~lyz/uds-q/4-community-q-ubuntu-women-project-goals 18:03:49 added career days to agenda 18:04:13 Cheri703: need us to talk about that now? 18:04:26 (I know you have a tight schedule today) 18:04:30 no, I have ~30ish minutes 18:04:35 ok 18:04:46 #link http://people.ubuntu.com/~lyz/uds-q/4-community-q-ubuntu-women-project-goals 18:04:56 so this has a bunch of action items at the bottom that we will move to the blueprint 18:05:07 too many of those have "lyz" on them :) 18:06:43 I can help with the search result research, with some parameters on what we're looking for/how to document 18:06:53 Cheri703: great! 18:07:17 #action Cheri703 to take Look into visibility online (how high in search results for terms like "Ubuntu") 18:07:17 * meetingology Cheri703 to take Look into visibility online (how high in search results for terms like "Ubuntu") 18:07:27 now that google gives "custom" results, it is hard to gauge 18:07:44 yeah 18:08:17 in addition to those tasks, we also need someone to take on leading up the redevelopment of the wordpress blog 18:08:18 Do custom results differ much if you use a clean profile, or disallow cookies? 18:08:32 akk: yeah, they are also location based 18:08:40 not sure akk, I'll play with it 18:08:41 sigh, google 18:09:00 I'd also be happy to work with others on the "promoting the project" task 18:09:01 search results were just an example, we're looking for general visibility everywhere 18:09:06 edubuntu.org now links to us :) yay them! 18:09:13 woo! 18:10:06 I am happy to assist someone else on whatever the Ada Lovelace thing turns out to be 18:10:46 so http://findingada.com/ is going to be on October 16th this year 18:11:14 thanks AlanBell, we do need a primary on this though if we want to do another competition or something 18:11:42 last year we did the Month of Making: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/AdaLovelace 18:12:06 we've also done in the past stories and photo competitions: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/InternationalWomensDay http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Events/Competitions/WorldPlayDay 18:13:18 we can follow up on this closer to the date I guess :) 18:13:56 anyone else see anything on the tasks they may be able to contribute to? 18:14:00 or questions about any of them? 18:15:33 as to mentoring, while i'm not doing ubuntu dev anymore, i still remember how it goes, so if anyone wants to try it and you'd like your patches/packages to have a once-over before you send them to be sponsored, i'm happy to help 18:16:21 maco: you rock :) 18:16:44 \o late for meeting 18:16:54 the mentoring discussion was interesting at UDS 18:17:40 last cycle akgraner did some research into a couple styles of mentoring, what we do today (more casual people ask questions and mentors are somewhat self-selected and help out as needed) vs matching people up on tables 18:18:07 elky was asking me to once-over her patch and explain the SRU process last week, but nobody else in the group has poked me (including someone who says they want to get back into it *side-eyes pleia2*) so figured i'd put that out there 18:18:10 she discovered the latter didn't work great, and certainly pans out based on our experience, I don't think anyone in the history of the project has found a mentor by adding themselves or picking someone from a table on our wiki :) 18:18:37 maco: so much to do, so little time :) 18:19:04 at our discussion at UDS, paulproteus mentioned a third type of mentoring: very specific projects put out there that people can volunteer to help with 18:19:19 * paulproteus waves 18:19:20 so "I have this task, and will mentor anyone who wants to do it" 18:19:33 hi there :) 18:19:48 Uh oh, I may be held accountable for my words 18:19:49 * paulproteus hides 18:19:49 this seems like a good direction for our mentoring program to go 18:19:52 hehe 18:20:21 while at UDS, I was in an accessibility session where they said they needed more able folks to test accessibility features, so I think that would be a great place for us to start with this 18:20:36 * pleia2 has an action item from them to create a page on our wiki :) 18:21:54 so I figure we start there to get this rolling 18:22:28 that's pretty much all I've got as far as UDS and our plans go 18:22:53 my name is still next to a bunch of tasks, but I'll reach out to the list too with more details on items to see if I can muster further interest 18:22:56 OpenHatch would appreciate if you call your specific-task mentorship events "Starling Bounties" 18:23:27 That way, the world can search the web for [starling bounty] in the future and find examples of this outreach strategy across a few projects 18:23:32 cool 18:24:00 paulproteus: once I have a draft page I'll be in touch to review 18:24:03 b 18:24:07 (thumbs up) 18:24:38 BTW, maco, and all others in the channel: you do in fact rock 18:25:22 ok, anyone feel free to follow up with me after the meeting if you have any questions about anything from UDS 18:25:26 #topic Career Days 18:25:29 Cheri703: all yours! 18:26:06 So last month we had an awesome session by Emma Marshall (system76chick), and we need more volunteers! 18:26:52 I'm pretty much always looking for people, so definitely feel free to toss your name in the hat! Also, we had a successful mid-week session, so various times/days are possible, we can work around your schedule! 18:27:01 Cheri703: I got at least one name at UDS, I'll forward over her contact details so you can follow-up 18:27:08 awesome 18:27:59 Men and Women are welcome to present a session as well, just as reference 18:29:03 thanks Cheri703 18:29:14 ok, if no one has any questions/thoughts on it, I have about 10 minutes before I'm out the door for work, I'll check back in, but I have to get ready! 18:29:27 :) 18:29:36 #topic Comments, questions, anything else? 18:30:07 (in general, before we wrap up the meeting) 18:30:10 It's that time of year again when I remind everyone in the Eastern / Mid-Western US that Ohio LinuxFest's call for proposals is open 18:30:24 https://ohiolinux.org/ 18:30:41 Wendy Seltzer is keynoting. She's an awesome tech-lawyer 18:30:55 cool 18:30:56 and the Diversity in Open Source workshop is happening again this year 18:32:25 thanks maco 18:32:31 anything else, anyone? 18:35:44 ok, thanks everyone :) 18:35:46 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
