Maybe we could work on it in someways 18:22 I've reached out to several folks in the community and thus far no one has time to the run the program 18:22 OPW? 18:22 akk: gnome outreach program for women 18:23 ah, thanks, didn't know the TLA for it 18:23 #link http://gnome.org/opw/ 18:23 TLA? 18:23 we had the director of the gnome foundation join us a few months ago to talk about it 18:24 Deindre: if you can find someone to run it (or are able yourself) I'd encourage you to give it a shot :) 18:24 belkinsa: three letter acronym 18:24 Thank you, akk. 18:24 I was wondering to candidate myself for a marketing mentoring 18:24 I can't myself, and haven't found people to help, only people who want to see it happen but can't help :] 18:24 belkinsa: If it's four letters it's an ETLA (extended TLA) :) 18:27 I think since Mark hass been really interested in supporting women outreaches, we should find a way to nourish this opportunity 18:27 canonical isn't interested in mentoring programs at all really 18:27 it's all been community-led to even apply for the google summer of code (which we didn't get accepted for this year) 18:29 mmm this is another reason to help women coming from Ubuntu to apply to OPW/GSoC 18:29 pleia2: do you agree? 18:29 Deindre: I certainly think the programs are great :) 18:30 women participating with Ubuntu should certainly apply if they are in a position to do so, we just don't run one for Ubuntu right now 18:30 it would be *great* if we did, but I don't have time to lead it (I've also been asked to mentor for another open source project, I just don't have time) 18:30 let's begin helping in apply properly: since competition is very high, we could support 18:31 sounds good 18:31 :) 18:31 the deadline for this OPW was yesterday, so we'll shoot for the next one 18:32 And maybe have a plan to help women to apply? 18:32 belkinsa: I think that's what Deindre is suggesting 18:32 I see. 18:32 it wouldn't be for Ubuntu, but in general 18:32 lots of great projects to choose from :) 18:33 Doesn't matter, if it helps women in FOSS, it will do. 18:33 yep 18:34 ok, anything else before we wrap up? 18:34 I'm fine :) 18:35 I'm fine 18:35 ok, thanks everyone :) 18:35 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
