Antergos has attracted some new people to real time support that way and Ubuntu LGBT* also has a group. It has lesser learning curve than IRC and doesn't need bouncers/terminal multiplexers or anything else than phone number (not shown to anyone) and supported platform (FOSS client and I don't know any platform 18:39 <Mikaela> that didn't have some kind of client). 18:41 <amani_glugcal> sure 18:41 <amani_glugcal> I do know lot of lgbt people who are not that competent with s/w 18:42 <amani_glugcal> so how do you plan to go about it? 18:43 <Mikaela> I run bot for Antergos/Antergos ops/personal channel and if needed could run one for UW, but I won't do it without more people giving permission 18:44 <amani_glugcal> yes, that makes sense... the community team should look into this 18:44 <amani_glugcal> post to community team mailing list 18:44 <amani_glugcal> OK? 18:45 <Mikaela> I am scared of mailing lists and I cannot until tomorrow :( 18:46 <amani_glugcal> Be brave Mikaela... there are few people on the list ...it is not a dark lonely place :) 18:48 <amani_glugcal> #action Makaela to post to Community Team ML on Telegram Group Plans 18:48 * meetingology Makaela to post to Community Team ML on Telegram Group Plans 18:48 <MarkDude> +1 for Telegram to IRC (/me would like to know some details on it later if possible.) 18:50 <Mikaela> MarkDude: #teleirc is the software making that possible and you find it from freenode as one running example 18:51 <amani_glugcal> any other questions/suggestions/... 18:52 <amani_glugcal> ? 18:54 <amani_glugcal> We have about 6 mins left 18:55 <MarkDude> As to amani_glugcal 's event, /me is following up in asking for funding and/or support on Fedora side 18:56 <Mikaela> and ESC SF1 starts in five minutes and takes people 18:56 <amani_glugcal> Thanks MarkDude 18:56 <MarkDude> As to LBGT groups, just let folks know if they want allies or members :) 18:57 <Mikaela> MarkDude: allies are welcome and the TG group has some of them, it doesn't have IRC bridge though 18:58 <amani_glugcal> Getting LGBT groups interested in s/w projects is one thing I am working on 18:58 <Mikaela> I mentioned this meeting (at the start) at that and AW, but I should have done it earlier 18:59 * Mikaela disappears to Eurovision semifinal now 18:59 <amani_glugcal> we have one minute left 19:00 <MarkDude> +1 whether its as an ally or a member of the groups (depending on their mission.) More voices to represent the plurality we live in 19:01 <amani_glugcal> Thanks, Thanks everybody for attending 19:01 <amani_glugcal> Have a nice time 19:01 <amani_glugcal> #endmeeting
