User1: #topic 1305 Blueprint updates
User1: #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1305-ubuntu-women
User1: so everything that wasn't done has now been set to POSTPONED since the release has happened
User1: they were just career days things, which I've since added to our roadmap which I want to discuss later in the meeting
User1: #link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/RoadMap-T
User1: #topic Continue Discussing survey results part 2
User1: #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/10/ubuntu-women-survey-2013-results-part-2/
User1: User3 have comments here?
User3: pleia2 not at this time.
User1: ok, anyone else?
User1: we kicked off a review of harvest.ubuntu.com based on the feedback
User1: #link http://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2013/11/evaluating-harvest/
User1: could use some more folks looking at it :)
User3: Agreed, the only feedback is from me and another person.
User1: User3 oh, you might want to follow-up with your mailing list post by putting the text of the etherpad into the email, as they expire pretty quick
User1: (can't remember if expiration is 7 or 30 days, but it has caused headaches on other lists)
User3: Thanks for letting me know
User3: And on it
User1: \o/
User3: Mind if the content be publicly on the mailing list?
User1: all the links are public, should be ok
User3: Okay, thanks.
User1: guess we can move on from this topic then
User1: #topic Virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit, November 19-21 preparations
User1: so, we're in the community track
User1: #link http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1311/track/community/
User1: currently scheduled for a session on Wednesday at 15:05
User1: (7:05 am for me, goodie :))
User4: could we use vUDS to reach some team who wish to open their partecipation to new women?
User1: User4 possibly, have any idea how?
User4: I think a frequent request is to have some "practical" issue to work on.
User4: I think this could be a great opportunity to meet mentors- to-come
User1: currently all we have right now for teams is http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/BestPractices
User1: which is more focused on LoCos
User4: yes, I mean something more focused on team AND people
User1: ok, I'll add it to the roadmap wiki
User4: thank you :)
User1: ok, chatting about career days, GetInvolved improvements and BestPractices improvements gives us a good place to start with vUDS next week
User4: User1 is our track tomorrow?
User1: User4 no, vUDS is next week
User4: ok
User1: Wednesday the 20th :)
User4: I'll write a remeinder on ML
User1: great, thanks
User1: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1311-ubuntu-women is our empty-ish blueprint
User1: (which we'll populate at the session)
User1: #topic Any other business (AOB)
User1: any other topics folks want to talk about?
User4: It seems to me nobody has applied to OPW
User4: Do you know is anybody has?
User4: IF anybody, sorry :)
User1: I know there are lots of applicants this time around (the program is VERY popular) but Ubuntu so far still doesn't have mentors
User3: As a whole commiunty or just us, the women?
User4: I think this is a missing opportunity, really. Maybe we could work on it in someways
User1: I've reached out to several folks in the community and thus far no one has time to the run the program
User5: OPW?
User1: User5 gnome outreach program for women
User5: ah, thanks, didn't know the TLA for it
User1: #link http://gnome.org/opw/
User3: TLA?
User1: we had the director of the gnome foundation join us a few months ago to talk about it
User1: User4 if you can find someone to run it (or are able yourself) I'd encourage you to give it a shot :)
User5: User3 three letter acronym
User3: Thank you, akk.
User4: I was wondering to candidate myself for a marketing mentoring
User1: I can't myself, and haven't found people to help, only people who want to see it happen but can't help :]
User5: User3 If it's four letters it's an ETLA (extended TLA) :)
User4: I think since Mark hass been really interested in supporting women outreaches, we should find a way to nourish this opportunity
User1: canonical isn't interested in mentoring programs at all really
User1: it's all been community-led to even apply for the google summer of code (which we didn't get accepted for this year)
User4: mmm this is another reason to help women coming from Ubuntu to apply to OPW/GSoC
User4: User1 do you agree?
User1: User4 I certainly think the programs are great :)
User1: 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
User1: 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)
User4: let's begin helping in apply properly: since competition is very high, we could support
User1: sounds good
User4: :)
User1: the deadline for this OPW was yesterday, so we'll shoot for the next one
User3: And maybe have a plan to help women to apply?
User1: User3 I think that's what Deindre is suggesting
User3: I see.
User1: it wouldn't be for Ubuntu, but in general
User1: lots of great projects to choose from :)
User3: Doesn't matter, if it helps women in FOSS, it will do.
User1: yep
User1: ok, anything else before we wrap up?
User4: I'm fine :)
User3: I'm fine
User1: ok, thanks everyone :)
