We're still discussing how many prizes and exactly WHAT the prizes will be. 18:10:25 BAM, you 3 indicated interest, you've volunteered! ;) j/k 18:10:39 Emma from System76 signed up for helping with prizes, and we can reach out to Ubuntu User again 18:11:07 We are hoping to have the participation limited to women, but a. how do we try to enforce that, and b. I can only imagine the flood of "OMG UW IS SEXXXXXXIST" comments, so...we'll see 18:11:17 Any thoughts on the topic are MORE than welcome 18:11:22 (and I'm already marked down as helping with this in the blueprint ;)) 18:11:28 ok, awesome ;) 18:12:08 Pendulum: did I miss anything? 18:12:50 We're hoping to have everything set to start the contest on March 8 (International Women's Day) 18:13:10 I suggest putting a call to the mailing list asking for volunteers, stressing that it's a great first thing to work on for someone looking to get involved with Ubuntu (so, don't be shy!) 18:13:14 The idea is to give them about 10 days so there are 2 weekends in there, but it's not too much time 18:13:28 them = participants 18:14:22 I think it's ok, and as with previous contests, we can extend it if needed 18:14:35 and maybe write a few teasers in the week leading up to it to build excitement? 18:15:00 yeah, that leads us into the next topic actually 18:15:42 shall we move on? 18:15:53 I think that covered everything 18:16:04 great, thanks for your work Cheri703 and Pendulum, this sounds great :) 18:16:21 #topic Career Days 18:16:47 Our first career days of 2013 will be Laura Czajkowski on March 1 18:16:55 that's one week before the contest starts, so we can cross promote :D 18:17:22 there are a bunch of people who volunteered at UDS and I will be reaching out to everyone to get sessions scheduled 18:17:45 the time is still to be determined for the March 1 session, but that'll be on upcoming announcements 18:18:38 aaaand that's all I have on that 18:18:52 thanks Cheri703 18:19:00 #topic Any other business 18:19:13 anyone else have anything they wish to discuss or comment on? :) 18:19:54 Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) sponsorship hasn't opened yet, but we'll be mailing list list once it does, it's in Oakland again, May 6-9: http://uds.ubuntu.com/ 18:20:18 I don't think any of the leadership team will be attending :( 18:20:18 awesome :D 18:20:27 I might be able to! if I get sponsored! 18:20:37 that would be good! 18:20:38 I am pushing my move back to June, so...possible 18:21:29 I'll be out of reach on my honeymoon, so I won't even be able to participate remotely 18:21:49 pfft, you can take a break from honeymoon for ONE UW session ;) 18:21:59 COME ON PLEIA2 WHERE IS YOUR COMMITMENT?! 18:22:06 hehe 18:22:38 honeymoon is ONE in a lifetime! take a break from UW and enjoy Honeymoon :P 18:22:55 hehe 18:23:20 alright, I have nothing else productive to contribute :) 18:23:51 hehe 18:23:59 ok, I think that pretty much wraps things up then 18:24:33 sounds like we're on track with everything! 18:24:37 thanks everyone :) 18:24:56 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
