I think we have 15 more mentors that don't have mentees. 20:03:28 Was going to work on matching them up at some point this week. 20:03:31 that's a very cool problem to have 20:03:45 * diablo_rojo just needs to take the time to buckle down and do it 20:03:55 *peeks just to peek*:) 20:04:12 if you need help, let me know, I'm in a bit of a downtime after being somewhat crazy at work all summer 20:04:37 I think we have 15 mentees without mentors 20:05:31 is the list out in google docs? 20:05:36 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jsS3HJgwWU8K28i3QwDIghaaLM2v5mbCXV8A5WlhZDE/edit?usp=sharing 20:05:47 sheet one is all the signups 20:06:25 ./ 20:06:28 then I filtered out the mentees and mentors into the next two sheets 20:06:44 And the the fourth sheet is where I was putting the matches 20:06:52 I can give edit rights to whoever wants them 20:06:59 word, I'll check it out tonight/tomorrow and send you some suggestions 20:07:02 just ping me with an email :) 20:07:08 ekhugen_, sounds good 20:07:30 stacky mcstackface doesn't have a mentee yet! 20:07:56 ekhugen_: Well if she'd used the right email that's me!:) 20:08:28 ekhugen_, that was my test submisson when I made the form lol 20:08:31 Stacky was created for upstream institute in Boston 20:08:53 I figured, I was just missing my sarcasm tags there :-) 20:09:52 for the mentoring doc and wiki https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Mentors 20:10:26 do we want to move the info about the lightweight mentoring to be further down, with the mentor signups? 20:11:49 Yes? 20:11:55 ekhugen_: Yeah I think I'd group them 20:11:57 We should also probably rename to longterm 20:12:11 since we are starting to use that terminology instead of lightweight 20:12:13 Hi there! 20:12:14 +1 diablo_rojo 20:12:22 * ekhugen_ waves hi to Nicole 20:12:26 and maybe move the mentoring sponsored by header down? 20:12:40 hey 20:13:35 hi all, I may have missed a sign up deadline but I'd still like to sign up. I'll do that right now ... sorry for the delay 20:13:37 spotz, works for me 20:13:52 thx diablo_rojo for the link 20:14:08 amrith, np 20:16:01 So, spotz you gonna make those changes? :) 20:16:29 oh sorry, I was just making some changes 20:16:37 I can do that. But you gotta remember to put me on the spreadsheet:) 20:17:15 spotz I think if you fill out the form, you'll be on the spreadsheet automagically 20:17:27 ekhugen_: I did it monday during the meeting:( 20:17:51 Oh and someone started editing but I think we need to move contents up 20:18:19 I don't have an edit for that though 20:18:29 NM I do 20:18:50 better now? 20:19:33 spotz, as permission to edit? 20:19:43 ekhugen_: Yeah:) 20:20:07 diablo_rojo: didn't realize I needed to hit the edit button on top but ekhugen_ was in there same time 20:20:34 We're all good:) 20:20:41 ekhugen_, spotz shared with you 20:21:02 thanks diablo_rojo 20:21:25 ekhugen_, np 20:22:22 thanks diablo_rojo 20:23:07 I was thinking on our various guides, maybe we should send them out to past mentors and mentees and ask if they have any updates? 20:23:50 ekhugen_, that would be good. I always like feedback wherever I can get it 20:23:58 +1 20:24:21 I think I have the list from the previous, so I'll just send it everyone en masse? 20:24:48 ekhugen_, yeah that should work 20:25:13 cool 20:25:20 any other wiki/doc updates? 20:25:42 ekhugen_, don't think so 20:26:28 cool, I think our other topic was sydney summit planning for Speed Mentoring 20:26:51 this came up on the women of openstack call on Monday, talking again about combining it with the women of openstack lunch 20:27:16 Yeah, what do we want that to look like? 20:27:19 * amrith perks up ... sydney 20:27:22 amrith, what do you think of that idea? it would probably mean only having half an hour for it 20:27:35 Just like two rounds and then regular working lunch activities? 20:27:44 half hour isnt worth it, i think 20:28:02 why not make it an informal thing 20:28:20 find your mentor and connect and chat 20:28:27 I mean, what we could do is instead of planning out tables of mentors and mentees, make it more like speed networking 20:28:48 say, set aside some tables in marketplace area 20:29:15 that's an interesting idea, diablo_rojo do you think that it would be possible to set aside a mentor/mentee area? 20:29:19 and ppl can meet there 20:29:20 at their convenience 20:29:24 Oh just a point Jessica said she'd take charge of the working lunch again 20:29:44 and / or get mentors to agree to 'staff' that area 20:30:04 I met with my mentee outside a room and just checked in 20:30:07 I think it would just be banquet style for the room 20:30:31 Oh I get it now. 20:30:39 Slow on the uptake- too many things going on. 20:30:57 yeah, sorry I think we have a couple different convos going on here 20:31:03 I can see if thats something we can do. Or if there is a woo lounge we can say that is also a good place to meet with mentor/mentees? 20:31:09 and that's cool spotz that Jessica is doing the wos lunch 20:31:51 diablo_rojo +1 20:32:02 speed networking while people gather might be a good way to do it and then once enough people are there the regular working lunch could kickoff. 20:32:13 Kind of like meet and mingle before the main event? 20:32:17 pt a coffee machine there and it'll be flooded 20:32:28 amrith, lol 20:32:29 lol 20:32:37 diablo_rojo: ANy chance of getting the room a little early to do it that way? 20:33:10 I mean, it's lunch, so people will probably have sessions up until it starts, right? 20:34:19 ekhugen_: depends on their schedule etc. 20:34:30 spotz, possibly, depends on the room but we can ask Erin 20:34:50 Was just thinking oming for lunch if we had access to the room and people were freebefore everyone starts cftarted olks could get s 20:35:09 ugh retyping don't read that!!! 20:35:27 spotz, lol 20:36:10 Was just thinking if we had access to the room and people were free they could start before everyone starts coming for lunch 20:36:37 I don't know how I do that but I end up typing not where I am in a line and it's not just IRC:( 20:37:58 that's fair, so we have 2 possibilities (which are not incompatible): do a speed networking before/during the first part of the women of openstack working lunch and offering a place where mentors and mentees can meet up 20:38:32 which covers both type of mentoring we do 20:38:47 Sounds like we should do both if it works out 20:39:12 is it worth putting these suggestions out to the women of openstack listserv for more discussion? 20:39:23 Yes!!!! 20:39:26 :) 20:40:06 Why not :) 20:40:14 were there other topics from Monday's meeting that we were going to discuss on the listserv? could it all get bundled in one email? 20:40:58 ekhugen_: Jessica will hopefully reach out for the working lunch. I am going to mail out for anyone going to open source summit who wants to meet up 20:41:28 Oh and diablo_rojo I think is going to poke Anne about the videos. So nonthing really related to this 20:41:54 I'd say let's keep the mails targeted to topic 20:42:05 spotz: +1 20:42:40 okay fair enough, anyone want to volunteer to send the proposals out to the listserv? 20:43:08 I think amrith should since he's kind of taking the lead here? 20:43:15 I would saw Amrith as he's leading the speed mentoring 20:43:34 not that we're volunteering him or anything.... 20:43:43 Lol 20:43:56 lol 20:44:35 And he owes us tie dye t-shirts.... 20:47:12 amrith, are you okay with taking point on the email to the listserv, please? 20:50:29 okay, well any other topics? 20:50:38 we'll check back in next week with sydney planning maybe 20:51:02 Nothing else for now 20:51:23 cool, thanks everyone! have a good week! 20:51:49 laters!:) 20:51:55 #endmeeting
