18:00:16 <pleia2> hello everyone!
18:00:35 <pleia2> who all is here for the meeting? :)
18:00:49 <IdleOne> Afternoon o/
18:00:55 <pleia2> #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/Agenda
18:02:01 <pleia2> I think we'll go a bit out of order here as to what I have on the agenda, since UDS wrap-up probably makes sense first :)
18:02:08 <pleia2> #topic Ubuntu Developer Summit wrap-up
18:02:29 <pleia2> #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2012/11/ubuntu-women-at-uds-r/
18:02:51 <pleia2> this blog post pulls from a couple posts on the mailing list that cover what we did at UDS
18:02:54 <Dolasilla> o/ hi all, sorry, I'm a bit late..
18:03:02 <pleia2> welcome Dolasilla :)
18:03:26 <Cheri703> sorry, I'm here!
18:03:32 <Cheri703> I am working on work things :)
18:03:35 <pleia2> #link http://people.ubuntu.com/~lyz/uds-r/community-r-ubuntu-women-project-goals
18:03:41 <pleia2> these are the notes from the session
18:04:03 <pleia2> Deindre gave us a great rundown of the work they've done in Italy to promote women in Ubuntu with their Italian-speaking chapter
18:04:56 <pleia2> one of the attendees at the session expressed that there is a growing number of younger girls getting interested in technology in general, so it was an exciting time to be involved as we are starting to see the ratios change
18:05:29 <pleia2> Cheri703 was able to get contact info for a few women at the session who may be willing to do Career Days sessions :)
18:05:35 <Cheri703> \o/
18:05:57 <pleia2> we also talked some about doing follow-ups on FCM interviews and then posting the follow-up and initial interview on our blog
18:06:15 <pleia2> I think this is a great idea, but there currently isn't anyone assigned to this task
18:06:44 <pleia2> anyone interested in following up with our old interviewees? :)
18:06:58 <Dolasilla> I guess this was also mentioned by Deindre during UDS, but...do you think it would make sense to have a session on IRC, in which me and/or Deindre talk about our experience and give advices to bring it to other locos?
18:07:14 <pleia2> Dolasilla: yes, absolutely!
18:07:33 <Dolasilla> (sorry pleia2, didn't mean to interrupt you)
18:07:42 <pleia2> oh no, please everyone speak up :)
18:07:55 <Deindre> Dolasilla: it seems to me very interesting
18:07:57 <Pendulum> Dolasilla: I think that would be great
18:08:36 <system76chick> Dolasilla: I would love that
18:08:52 <AlanBell> o/
18:09:35 <Deindre> pleia2: I'm translating in english the presentation me and Silvia have done
18:09:43 <pleia2> Deindre: excellent :D
18:09:51 <Dolasilla> ok fine! :) except next 2 weeks I will be in vacation, for afterwards we can schedule an IRC meeting on the topic :)
18:10:03 <pleia2> Dolasilla: sounds good, I'll add it to our blueprint :)
18:10:36 <Pendulum> I wonder if it's something that would be best in -classroom?
18:10:46 <pleia2> yeah
18:10:48 <Dolasilla> Pendulum, could be, yes
18:11:05 <pleia2> we're planning on doing some other LoCo-focused things in Classroom this cycle too, so that will fit in nicely
18:11:35 <system76chick> pleia2: about the follow-ups on FCM, I can volunteer
18:12:11 <pleia2> system76chick: great! I'll put you down for it and we can talk later about the process
18:12:20 <system76chick> Sounds great!
18:12:31 <Deindre> pleia2: about FCM, I've talked with Flavia Marzano, she were in Jordan, but she's back and gave me her availability
18:12:55 <Pendulum> I don't want to commit to specific things since the last several cycles I've ended up falling apart healthwise and not been able to follow-through, but I'm in a better place now and do want to do more UW stuff this cycle :)
18:12:58 <pleia2> Deindre: ok :) just let me know whether you want to interview her, or want me to, or whatever
18:13:37 <pleia2> system76chick: is this your correct launchpad account?  https://launchpad.net/~a-emma
18:13:56 <system76chick> Yes, I can't remove the other one :(
18:14:13 <pleia2> system76chick: ok, no problem, just wanted to make sure I was assinging this task to the right account :)
18:14:29 <pleia2> Pendulum: sorry to hear about health problems, glad you're doing better now
18:14:46 <pleia2> the other big thing from our UDS session was a suggestion that we should do another competition
18:15:03 <pleia2> I think we all got a bit burnt out on doing too many of them, so our last one was last year and we only had 6 submissions
18:15:59 <pleia2> there was also talk that perhaps the "competition" part of it made people shy to submit things, thinking that there was no way they could "win" when compared to others, so we're thinking that prizes will still be offered but it would be more of a lottery system rather than voting
18:16:12 <pleia2> or maybe one community voted winner, and one random
18:16:40 <Pendulum> I like the idea of both.
18:16:52 <Pendulum> (having a random & community voted)
18:17:07 <pleia2> Pendulum: would helping run this be something you'd be interested in?
18:17:40 <pleia2> or anyone else?
18:18:05 <system76chick> I can assist with prizes and participation awards
18:18:20 <pleia2> system76chick: yay!
18:18:21 <Pendulum> I'm not sure I can run it, but I'm definitely happy to help out. Things like finding prizes I'm bad at, though
18:18:58 <pleia2> Pendulum: maybe you can commit to getting it started? at this point we don't even know what the subject should be :) photos again? stories?
18:19:54 <Cheri703> pleia2: we'd also talked about having it be more collaboration based vs individual
18:20:55 <Cheri703> sorry, my computer went dumb, I missed any replies in the last bit :/
18:21:00 <pleia2> no replies, but yet
18:21:06 <pleia2> s/yet/yeah
18:21:20 <Pendulum> I'm happy to work on figuring out the what/when
18:21:37 <Pendulum> I like the collaboration idea, but I'm not sure how to fit it in off the top of my head
18:21:38 <pleia2> maybe some kind of puzzle or project where people had to collaborate or find things in an open source project
18:21:41 <Cheri703> I'd be happy to help with hashing out ideas
18:21:57 <pleia2> Pendulum: ok, I'll put you down for preliminary planning
18:22:18 <Dolasilla> pleia2, I like the idea, a kind of "tresure huting", that requires to find info on open source projects maybe
18:22:36 <Pendulum> yeah, I wonder if there's a way to set up a scavenger hunt
18:22:39 <Dolasilla> so it also give a chance to learn something...
18:22:54 * pleia2 nods
18:23:16 <system76chick> Treasure hunting and scavenger hunt sounds fun!
18:23:23 <pleia2> ok, so:
18:23:24 <pleia2> [pendulum] Begin planning schedule for UW competition
18:23:24 <pleia2> [cheri703] Assist with brainstorming ideas for UWN competition
18:23:24 <pleia2> [a-emma] Assist with prizes for UW competition
18:23:29 <pleia2> ^^ work items for this so far
18:23:33 <pleia2> -N
18:23:44 <pleia2> (UWN, gosh i have news on the brain)
18:25:10 <pleia2> ok, we can flesh out more details about who will actually run the competition itself closer in as we know more about our schedules and availability :)
18:26:00 <Pendulum> *nods*
18:26:52 <pleia2> I think that pretty much covers it :)
18:27:07 <pleia2> I'll copy these work items all over to our blueprint
18:27:18 <pleia2> #topic Any other business
18:27:37 <pleia2> anyone have any additional comments at this point about anything project-wise? other ideas?
18:30:18 <Cheri703> nope, not at this point :)
18:30:25 <Cheri703> (from me at least)
18:30:27 <pleia2> :)
18:30:39 <Tm_T> +1 for classroom session
18:30:42 <Deindre> neither for me
18:30:45 <Dolasilla> nothing here either
18:30:47 * Tm_T is old and slow
18:31:02 * pleia2 hugs Tm_T
