[14:00] <Mikaela> o/ [14:00] <belkinsa> Agenda: <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/September2014/Agenda" target="_blank">http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/September2014/Agenda</a> [14:01] <sleeves> I want to attend but I am bran new [14:01] <pleia2> o/ [14:01] <belkinsa> Go ahead, anyone is welcome. [14:01] <pleia2> sleeves: welcome :) [14:02] <sleeves> ty [14:02] <belkinsa> Should we have a introduction topic since sleeves is new? [14:02] <pleia2> we often have new people :) typically just dive in [14:02] <pleia2> sleeves: please ask questions if you have any! [14:02] <belkinsa> Ah, right. Duh. [14:02] <sleeves> okay [14:02] <belkinsa> #topic Blueprint for Utopic cycle [14:03] <belkinsa> <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1406-ubuntu-women" target="_blank">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-women.org/+spec/community-1406-ubuntu-women</a> [14:03] <dolasilla> o/ [14:03] <pleia2> no updates from me :\ if anyone wants my tasks, they are welcome to them [14:03] <belkinsa> I made the quiz stuff open for everyone to test out and that's our next topic in this meeting. As for my other one, that's my next one that I will work on. [14:03] <belkinsa> pleia2, what about your items? [14:03] <pleia2> I've been busier than I anticipated this cycle [14:04] <belkinsa> Oh, I see. I missed what you said while I was typing. [14:04] <sleeves> I tested the quiz on the blog, I can provide feedback somewhere if wanted [14:04] <belkinsa> Sure, sleeves, but after this topic is finished. [14:04] <pleia2> sleeves: oh great, thank you [14:05] <belkinsa> pleia2, should I make a call on volunteers to take your items on the list? [14:05] <pleia2> I can probably bump harvest bug review up in my queue, but if someone else wants to take the BestPractices review that'd be great [14:05] <belkinsa> I might take in but I think I have too many projects. [14:06] <pleia2> belkinsa: let's try to hand off BestPractices first, give me a nudge in aweek if I haven't sorted out Harvest stuff and we'll try to give that away too :) [14:06] <belkinsa> Alright, that will do. [14:06] <belkinsa> #action belkinsa Ask the Mailing-List if someone can do the BestPractices item from the blueprint [14:07] <belkinsa> Any other comments on this item? [14:07] <belkinsa> Er, topic. [14:08] <belkinsa> Okay, moving on. [14:08] <belkinsa> #topic Orientation quiz dicussion [14:08] <belkinsa> sleeves, want to give your feedback now? [14:08] <sleeves> sure. [14:09] * belkinsa gives the mic to sleeves [14:09] <sleeves> I have never contributed and thought about it - so I think it's an amazing idea [14:09] <sleeves> However I'm a dev by trade and I found the options really limited, I went through a couple times and most got docs [14:10] <sleeves> and I felt a bit discouraged [14:10] <sleeves> but then I dug up harvest and felt better [14:10] <sleeves> </end> [14:10] <belkinsa> Alright, we need more options for developers. [14:11] <dolasilla> belkinsa, o/ [14:11] <dolasilla> I would like to suggest to start by redefining the matrix of choices. I linked in the mailing list the current version [14:11] <belkinsa> o/ dolasilla [14:11] <dolasilla> but someone already mentioned in the mailing list the fact the options are limited [14:11] <belkinsa> Let me find that [14:12] <dolasilla> so I would say, first thing: let's re-draw the matrix of choices/combinations, and define to where they could lead [14:12] <dolasilla> <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjC0t8MdWzk6dDRBRGVGcGdtWTJpbjYyYmgyX1RLREE&usp=drive_web#gid=0" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjC0t8MdWzk6dDRBRGVGcGdtWTJpbjYyYmgyX1RLREE&usp=drive_web#gid=0</a> [14:12] <dolasilla> (above the link to the matrix I was talking about) [14:13] <belkinsa> Okay, and who is willing to do this? This can be also be called via the ML. [14:13] <belkinsa> dolasilla, thanks for the link. [14:13] <dolasilla> a couple of people offered there [14:13] <belkinsa> Who are those two? Sorry, I wasn't really following the list that well. [14:14] <dolasilla> I won't have much time in the coming weeks, I can help but I would prefer someone else to take the lead on this [14:14] <dolasilla> (let me check the thread) [14:15] <dolasilla> Anna Baas and A. Mani [14:15] <belkinsa> Oh, sleeves, we are also in #ubuntu-women if you wan to chat outside meetings. [14:15] <dolasilla> and then also diego turcios offered some development help [14:16] <belkinsa> Ah. [14:16] <sleeves> okay thanks. Also let me know where I can jump in, I'd like to help with stuff. [14:16] <belkinsa> sleeves, we will. [14:16] <belkinsa> dolasilla, okay, then I should e-mail them to see if one can take the lead? Or you if you want? [14:17] <dolasilla> as you want, I can re-take the thread, and suggest to start, maybe...I saw pleia2 already sent an email about the code being now available on launchpad [14:17] <dolasilla> I can add something after that email [14:18] <belkinsa> Sure, if you don't mind. [14:18] <dolasilla> oki [14:18] <belkinsa> #action dolasilla E-mail the three about taking the lead on the project [14:19] <belkinsa> Before I close this topic, I was thinking about writing an update blog post about the quiz and an article for Ubuntu Full Circle Mag. [14:19] <belkinsa> Would this help us? [14:21] <dolasilla> well now looks like there are a couple of volounteers, maybe we could keep the "full circle magazine bonus" to advertise the quiz, once we have done a first review with the comments collected so far? [14:21] <pleia2> dolasilla: +1 [14:21] <pleia2> next FCM article is a month off, so maybe by that time we'll have something :) [14:23] <belkinsa> Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We have projects and if we have them going we could have articles for them to say that we are active. [14:25] <belkinsa> #action Write an article and a blog post on the updates for the Quiz [14:26] <belkinsa> Okay, are we ready to move on? [14:26] <dolasilla> +1 [14:27] <belkinsa> #topic <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ProjectHarvest" target="_blank">http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ProjectHarvest</a> [14:27] <belkinsa> #link <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ProjectHarvest" target="_blank">http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/ProjectHarvest</a> [14:27] <belkinsa> Er [14:27] <belkinsa> #topic ProjectHarvest Updates [14:28] <belkinsa> As we all know that we are in phase two of the project which is getting more developers for it but I would like know if work has started on Harvest. [14:28] <pleia2> as I mentioned earlier, I still have bug wrangling to do so we can point our developers at things to work on [14:29] <belkinsa> Ah, right, I forgot. [14:30] <belkinsa> I think sleeves said that they want to get into developing it. Is that right? [14:30] <sleeves> yeah I'd be down. I don't know much about it though. [14:31] <sleeves> other than what's on the topic page [14:31] <belkinsa> Main page: <a href="http://harvest.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank">http://harvest.ubuntu.com/</a> [14:31] <belkinsa> Bugs: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/harvest/+bugs" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/harvest/+bugs</a> [14:31] <pleia2> it's a django app, wiki here: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Harvest" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Harvest</a> [14:31] <pleia2> so Python [14:32] <pleia2> wiki is pretty outdated, turns out :) [14:32] <sleeves> haha k i can do python & django [14:33] <pleia2> yay \o/ [14:33] <belkinsa> \o/ [14:33] <sleeves> I'll start poking around [14:33] <dolasilla> :) [14:33] <belkinsa> sleeves, oh, one more thing. Make sure you join the Ubuntu Women mailing-list as we use that to talk about things outside the meetings. [14:34] <sleeves> yep, I'm on it. joined last week. [14:34] <belkinsa> Okay. [14:34] <belkinsa> You are welcome to introduce yourself also. [14:34] <belkinsa> ;) [14:35] <belkinsa> So, going back on the topic, is there anything else to to be said about ProjectHarvest? [14:35] <sleeves> haha okay. will do. [14:38] <belkinsa> Moving on in a minute. [14:39] <sleeves> I have to go. But I will introduce myself on the mailing list later. :) bye [14:39] <belkinsa> See ya [14:39] <belkinsa> #topic Any Other Business (AOB) [14:39] <belkinsa> Do we have any? [14:40] * pleia2 has nothing [14:40] <pleia2> thanks for chairing :) [14:40] <Mikaela> Does the KiwiIRC suggestion count? [14:40] <belkinsa> Mikaela, sure. [14:40] <belkinsa> pleia2, not a problem. [14:40] <belkinsa> pleia2, is that okay if Mikaela brings her suggestion up? [14:41] <pleia2> of course [14:41] * belkinsa gives the mic to Mikaela [14:41] <Mikaela> 2014-09-09 21:06:41+0300 < Mikaela> Suggestion to <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/September2014/Agenda" target="_blank">http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/September2014/Agenda</a> / other meeting pages if anyone can edit it and knows how to do it: [14:41] <Mikaela> 2014-09-09 21:06:41+0300 < Mikaela> Replace webchat link <<a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-women-project" target="_blank">http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-women-project</a>> with <<a href="https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net:+6697/#ubuntu-women-project" target="_blank">https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net:+6697/#ubuntu-women-project</a>> as KiwiIRC doesn't have captcha and looks less scary to new people. [14:41] <Mikaela> 2014-09-09 21:06:41+0300 < Mikaela> It could also be <<a href="https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net:+6697/#ubuntu-women,#ubuntu-women-project" target="_blank">https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net:+6697/#ubuntu-women,#ubuntu-women-project</a>> to join both channels. [14:42] <belkinsa> And I said this: [14:07] <belkinsa> That would be nice but I think it doesn't work on a MoinMoin wiki [14:42] <pleia2> isn't it just a link? [14:42] <belkinsa> But the concern that was brought was the spammers. [14:42] <pleia2> and does kiwiirc have ads? (mibbit does, some of which can be a bit rude) [14:42] <Mikaela> There was also comment about Captchalessness being bad thinking about spam, but I think KiwiIRC has other anti-spam mechanism and I haven't seen any spam from them yet other than random unasked PMs which you only get by being at #kiwiirc. [14:42] <belkinsa> Oh, I can read. [14:42] <Mikaela> I haven't noticed any ads. [14:43] <pleia2> it's open source, so that's nice :) [14:43] <pleia2> if it's ad-free, seems fine to me [14:43] <belkinsa> And the interface is modern looking. [14:44] * pleia2 nods [14:44] <belkinsa> I think we could have a vote on the Mailing list for this suggestion, if possible, [14:44] <Mikaela> For comparsion, qwebirc: <a href="https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-women-project" target="_blank">https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-women-project</a> [14:47] <belkinsa> Mikaela, want to bring this up on the list? [14:48] <Mikaela> I am too scared of mailing lists, but it would be nice if someone else could do it. [14:48] <belkinsa> Why? [14:48] <belkinsa> Ours is very quiet. [14:48] <pleia2> Mikaela: I can bring it up (and thanks for being open about that, it's fine) [14:48] <Mikaela> They just are scary when compared to something like IRC. [14:49] <Mikaela> :) [14:49] <dolasilla> Mikaela, go and don't be scared, for sure at the very least that irc web client has my vote! [14:49] <belkinsa> It has mine too, but the mailing-list is not scary at all. [14:49] <belkinsa> We are all friendly folks. [14:51] <belkinsa> #action Mikaela or belkinsa or pleia2 or dolasilla E-mail the mailing about the IRC client suggestion [14:52] <belkinsa> Any other comments/questions? [14:53] <Mikaela> I don't have any, but I don't know about others. [14:53] <belkinsa> If not, thank you all for coming to the meeting. It was a pleasure to chair this. [14:54] <dolasilla> thanks a lot belkinsa for chairing! [14:54] <belkinsa> pleia2, I will get everything ready for the next meeting. [14:54] <pleia2> great, give me a nudge if you need any help [14:54] <belkinsa> I will. [14:54] <dolasilla> need to leave, bye!
