[UbuntuWomen] Ubuntu Women Project - Give yourselves a hand! Take a look and some of the -L objectives we have accomplished

[Amber Graner]

Hi all,

I can't tell you what a great feeling it was yesterday to mark the Lucid
cycle Blueprint for the team as complete and accepted - I was so happy I
snagged a screen shot of it. (it's attached to the email) :-D!  With a
little over 7 weeks to go before the -M cycle starts it's time to take a
deep breath, regroup and the roll out all the great goals we have for the -M
cycle.

However, before we start all that planning I wanted to take a minute to tell
you all Thank You for working hard to accomplish so many things things this
cycle! I know we have hit a few bumps in the rock this cycle, but we have
great shocks absorbers and we have all just bounced back.  The Ubuntu Women
Project Team is made up of some of the most talented, dedicated, hardworking
and compassionate folks in the whole Ubuntu Community! - In other words -
y'all rock and you're just goof peoples!!! :-)

The Ubuntu Women Project Team has a lot to be proud of this cycle - together
we as a team have accomplished some pretty awesome goals during the Lucid
cycle and the fun isn't over yet. Remember we still have 7 weeks to go
before -M starts and there are still a few more things around the corner
that we will need to finish as well :-) In the meantime, let's take a look
at what the Team has accomplished so far this cycle:

* 1st release cycle using 6-month road maps/blueprints
* 1st release cycle tracking our progress as a project
* 1st "Formal" leader for the Project
* Creation of a second Ubuntu Women IRC Channel  - the project now has both
a logged and unlogged channel
* Defined an "official" Ubuntu Project team roster using Launchpad to
determine voting eligibility
* We ran a successful -- 1st Annual Ubuntu Women Project "How I discovered
Ubuntu" International Women's Day Competition
* New wiki pages were set up  (thanks to Melissa) and are being edited and
polished
* We have having meetings on a fairly regular basis
* Increased project discussion on the mailing list, IRC and Forums
* Working on a virtual Ubuntu Women Project Global Jam for the weekend of
March 26-28, 2010
* Goals for the -M cycle have been suggested and put before the team
* Process and timeline for Project Elections for after UDS-M have been
proposed
* Since UDS-L the Ubuntu Women team (on Launchpad) has increased by a little
over 5%.
* Members of the Project have spoken and/or attended almost every major
Linux/Open Source Event this so far this year
* Project is now tracking diversity growth in the Community (thanks to Alan
Bell)
* And more

Let's make plans to make the -M cycle the best yet! Well Done! :-)

:-) Amber

want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is.
