Thank you. 18:12 <pleia2> belkinsa: also, if you're interested we can do a blog post on blog.ubuntu-women.org about "What people are doing" to raise the profile a bit 18:13 <belkinsa> I'm interested in this idea of posting a call on the blog. 18:13 <pleia2> great, sync up with me via email with some proposed text and we'll get something up :) 18:13 <Dolasilla> belkinsa, are you still thinking of putting in place the quiz to find the best team for getting involved? 18:14 <belkinsa> Okay. 18:14 <belkinsa> I am and this was the next thing that I was going to bring up. 18:15 <belkinsa> Is it safe to move on to the quiz idea? 18:15 <pleia2> so the current problem is we have no where to host it 18:15 <pleia2> I was thinking we should instead put our efforts into getting it included on community.ubuntu.com 18:16 <belkinsa> Yes, to help the others in the community. 18:16 <Dolasilla> makes sense 18:16 <pleia2> belkinsa: dholbach is lead on community.ubuntu.com, I can put you in touch with him if that would be helpful 18:16 <belkinsa> Okay, I will e-mail him about hosting the quiz. 18:17 <belkinsa> Wait, never mind. Thank you for doing this. 18:19 <belkinsa> Safe to move on to last idea? 18:20 <pleia2> I'd say so 18:20 <pleia2> #topic Discuss survey results part 2 18:20 <pleia2> #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/10/ubuntu-women-survey-2013-results-part-2/ 18:20 <pleia2> so based on feedback, belkinsa is totally on the right track with improving our Getting Involved stuff :) 18:22 <Dolasilla> true :) 18:22 <pleia2> it was nice to see some fresh ideas for things we can be doing too 18:22 <pleia2> now we just need to drum up the volunteers to make it happen ;) 18:22 <belkinsa> Yup. 18:24 <pleia2> anyone else have any comments? 18:24 <belkinsa> I have one suggestion about for the developers type of people not knowing how to get into a project. 18:24 <Dolasilla> one of the point is to create online projects.. 18:24 <belkinsa> Maybe a wiki page with a list of active projects that they can look through? 18:25 <Dolasilla> yes would make sense, but we would need to find good ideas to populate it 18:25 <anna_> this developer type of person would like that 18:26 <pleia2> Dolasilla: yeah, I think that's always been the challenge 18:27 <pleia2> it would be great to see though 18:27 <anna_> do you know experienced developers who might have 'boring' stuff lying around which they don't have time/priority for? 18:28 <anna_> it might be not-so-boring for people who are just starting :) 18:28 <pleia2> it's kind of a chicken and egg problem, developers are too busy to delegate tasks, so they continue to be too busy 18:29 <pleia2> it takes a fair amount of effort to put a task into something that a new developer can tackle 18:29 <anna_> and then there's quality control, yes 18:29 <pleia2> it's not hopeless, we just need someone to take ownership of making this project happen and approaching developers for bite-size tasks 18:30 <Dolasilla> pleia2, there was something setup by daniel time ago, no? little bug fixes to get started with coding? 18:30 <Dolasilla> could we reuse that? 18:31 <pleia2> Dolasilla: yes, a long time ago, might be something we can look into 18:31 <Dolasilla> I will try to retrieve the link 18:32 <pleia2> http://harvest.ubuntu.com/ 18:32 <Dolasilla> :D 18:32 <Dolasilla> thanks pleia2! :D 18:32 <belkinsa> Is it still alive? 18:32 <pleia2> no 18:32 <belkinsa> I see. 18:32 <pleia2> but it could be resurrected 18:32 <belkinsa> It could. 18:32 <pleia2> since it already exists I think Dolasilla is right, this would be a good starting point 18:32 <belkinsa> Maybe with the help of the community. 18:33 <pleia2> anyone want to take some time to browse the status of harvest and put together a quick report for the team? 18:34 <Dolasilla> pleia2, I can take that 18:35 <pleia2> thanks! 18:35 <pleia2> #action Dolasilla to investigate the status of harvest and report back 18:35 * meetingology Dolasilla to investigate the status of harvest and report back 18:36 <pleia2> #action belkinsa to draft up blog post re: "What people are doing" project 18:36 * meetingology belkinsa to draft up blog post re: "What people are doing" project 18:36 <pleia2> #action pleia2 to create Roadmap-T wiki page 18:36 * meetingology pleia2 to create Roadmap-T wiki page 18:37 <pleia2> #topic Any other business (AOB) 18:37 <belkinsa> Nope. 18:37 <pleia2> anyone else have any comments, ideas, etc before we wrap up? :) 18:38 <belkinsa> Wel,, I do. 18:38 <pleia2> go for it 18:38 <Cheri703> I do when belkinsa is done 18:38 <belkinsa> About the image of the group out reaching past the circle of Ubuntu. Maybe it's a good idea to get article in a non-Ubuntu mag? 18:39 <belkinsa> In another Linux mag, is what I mean. 18:39 <pleia2> about Ubuntu Women specifically? 18:39 <belkinsa> Yes, and what the members are doing in the community and that stuff. 18:39 <belkinsa> It could bring more women in. 18:41 <pleia2> yeah, we can certainly look into that 18:41 <belkinsa> Cool, thanks. 18:42 * belkinsa nods to Cheri703 18:42 <Cheri703> my question is what time frame are we on with leadership terms? I know that we had the most recent election a while back...I can't remember 18:43 <pleia2> I think we'll be doing an election next summer 18:43 <Cheri703> ok, just curious :) 18:43 <pleia2> for all 3 spots (we have 4 now because there was a tie) 18:45 <pleia2> Cheri703: don't you want to be a leader FOREVER? :) 18:45 <Cheri703> well obviously 18:45 <pleia2> hehe 18:45 <Dolasilla> lol 18:45 <belkinsa> lol 18:45 <pleia2> oh, also worth mentioning that we wrapped up our scavenger hunt! 18:45 <pleia2> #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/10/scavenger-hunt-results/ 18:46 <pleia2> thanks to Cheri703 for leading up that effort and getting the prizes sorted + shipped to the winners :) 18:46 <Dolasilla> 38 submissions is not bad...! 18:46 <pleia2> also, someone other than me needs to do art things (isn't that trophy clip art beautiful? oh gosh...) 18:46 <pleia2> hehe 18:47 <pleia2> I should be banned from inkscape 18:47 <pleia2> alright, anything else? 18:47 <belkinsa> Nope. 18:48 <Dolasilla> no 18:48 <pleia2> ok, thanks everyone! 18:48 <belkinsa> Not a problem. 18:48 <pleia2> and it was great to see new faces, thanks for coming anna_! 18:49 <anna_> thank you :) 18:49 <pleia2> #endmeeting
