Could even stagger if that makes things easier for knowledge retainment/training. 18:12:54 <jledbetter> I could do the election since I'm not running? For one slot? 18:12:58 <pleia2> staggering doesn't solve our "elections take a ton of time" problem 18:13:14 <jledbetter> True 18:13:17 <pleia2> which is my primary concern :\ 18:13:33 <pleia2> and yeah, since you're not running you can handle it 18:13:59 <jledbetter> Ok, I will. Y'all can do another year and I'll find a 2-year person :) Win win! 18:14:04 <pleia2> http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess outlines the process 18:14:23 <pleia2> I think if we do it this way, we want to vote on all three spots 18:14:36 <pleia2> so 2 incumbents 18:15:36 <pleia2> (of course now I'm putting us on the hook for another *2* years :)) 18:15:42 <jledbetter> Says 2 people need to be responsible for the poll. I'll email the list to find a helper and announce the elections. Next week maybe? Since it's July 7 nominations. 18:15:53 <jledbetter> Or maybe this week. It's the 12th. Oops :) 18:16:07 <Cheri703> heh 18:16:08 <pleia2> we can adjust timing as needed 18:16:23 <pleia2> but sounds good jledbetter! 18:16:39 <pleia2> #action jledbetter to find and work with another volunteer to handle leadership elections 18:16:39 * meetingology jledbetter to find and work with another volunteer to handle leadership elections 18:16:41 <jledbetter> Right. And, Cheri703, I owe you a career day. I'll schedule that up this month or next :) 18:16:47 <pleia2> yay! 18:17:05 <jledbetter> I'm not unpacked yet but by-golly I can do other stuff! ;) 18:17:47 <pleia2> hehe 18:17:58 <pleia2> #topic Any other business 18:18:12 <pleia2> anyone else have anything? announcements? upcoming event news they wish to share? 18:21:48 <Cheri703> :) thanks jledbetter 18:21:56 <Cheri703> (didn't see that til just now) 18:22:21 <jledbetter> You're welcome, Cheri703 18:24:09 <pleia2> ok, we'll wrap this up 18:24:12 <pleia2> thanks everyone! :) 18:24:19 <pleia2> #endmeeting
