14:13:27 <tg-fed-di1> <j​wflory> Oops those action items are dated!

14:14:11 <tg-fed-di1> <j​wflory> OK. Then it is probably OK to skip :)
14:14:29 <nasirhm> In the ticket, I see the draft was approved and it was requested to migrate to limesurvey
14:14:42 <nasirhm> siddharthvipul: would you like to provide an update here ?
14:15:02 <siddharthvipul> nasirhm, i guess etherpad needs an update ;)
14:15:07 <nasirhm> <tg-fed-di1 "<jwflory> OK. Then it is probabl"> Adding incomplete ones to keep track of them later on :)

14:16:33 <siddharthvipul> so, is there any update on that?

14:19:39 <siddharthvipul> nasirhm, I am not sure why it taking so much time.. do we know who are the folks that will be giving final approval?
14:19:50 <siddharthvipul> if we wait for next meeting, it's 2 weeks later
14:20:07 <siddharthvipul> the idea was to do it in september, review took some time, then another review of this :)
14:20:55 <riecatnor> Hi
14:20:57 <riecatnor> I have input on this
14:20:57 <siddharthvipul> cc: jwf riecatnor jonatoni (jwf, just tagging you so that you can see it once you have landed and relaxed)
14:21:20 <riecatnor> I spoke with Justin earlier today and we need to intervene on this FWD process
14:21:39 <nasirhm> siddharthvipul: I think, we need a final look from the D&I Team member for the final approval, adding the link in the ticket, It'll hopefully be approved before the next meeting.
14:21:47 <riecatnor> I think we should choose a weekend today for FWD
14:21:58 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, thank you. I concur
14:22:01 <riecatnor> The survey can go out with no dates so we can still acquire that info
14:22:11 <riecatnor> it is useful for the planning process
14:22:17 <riecatnor> survey is ready to go out afaik
14:22:26 <riecatnor> besides removing dates*
14:22:36 <siddharthvipul> I can do that first thing tomorrow
14:22:42 <riecatnor> perfect
14:23:07 <nasirhm> riecatnor: If that's a yes, I think siddharthvipul we're good to go as the questions were approved earlier. Kindly nuke the past test data (as you mentioned earlier)
14:23:16 <riecatnor> then let's ship it, we can tweet that, drop in it in telegram, send to d&i/mmindshare/counil lists
14:23:42 <riecatnor> We could create a short commblog post if desired
14:23:57 <nasirhm> Sure, For the tweet, I can RT or write a Tweet from @fedoracommunity .
14:24:00 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, sure, I will share the link in diversity channel (final survey) and later you can pick it and share it to wider community
14:24:27 <nasirhm> siddharthvipul: SGTM :)
14:25:05 <siddharthvipul> I will leave deciding the date to y'all now
14:25:46 <nasirhm> #topic Selecting Dates for Virtual FWD
14:26:17 <nasirhm> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/136
14:27:09 <nasirhm> riecatnor: Are there any proposed dates (I'm unable to find them on the ticket.)
14:27:22 <riecatnor> ok, let me look at the calendar now
14:27:33 <riecatnor> the previously proposed dates are now outdated
14:28:18 * nasirhm takes a look at calendar too
14:28:18 <riecatnor> I think it has to be the weekend of october 16th or 23rd
14:29:43 <nasirhm> siddharthvipul: On my calendar I see some Indian festivals for 23rd i.e Durga Puja and Maha Ashtami.
14:31:11 <nasirhm> Would contributors from India be able to participate comfortably ?
14:32:30 <nasirhm> riecatnor: can we go for 16th, 23rd and 30th ?
14:32:41 <riecatnor> I think we need to choose one weekend
14:32:55 <riecatnor> Release party is going to be the weekend of november 6-8th
14:33:05 <riecatnor> so the 30th seems not ideal
14:34:11 <nasirhm> Hmm, Makes sense. I think, let's keep 16th and 23rd as candidates and add the information in the ticket and ask people to comment there :)
14:34:33 <riecatnor> nope, let's decide now!
14:34:39 <nasirhm> #info Candidates for Virtual Release Party Dates are: 16th and 23rd October
14:34:47 <riecatnor> We need to decide now :)
14:35:15 <riecatnor> hold on one sec
14:35:17 <nasirhm> riecatnor: If that's the case, I'm a +1 to both. let's wait for input from others
14:36:58 <nasirhm> Although as there are some holidays in India on 23rd, I think 16th makes a good candidate.
14:37:04 <riecatnor> Let's do the 16th
14:38:06 <nasirhm> #agreed 16th October as the Date for Virtual Fedora Women's Day and appreciate and celebrate all the Awesome women in Fedora.
14:38:47 <rparimi[m]> I am so looking forward to it :) that will be my first FWD 🙂
14:38:51 <nasirhm> FWD reminds me of the Event Organizer pack
14:39:16 <nasirhm> ramyaparimi[m]: I too am excited for it and It'll be my first FWD too :D
14:39:24 <nasirhm> #topic Ticket #122: "Improve event organizer resource pack"
14:39:34 <nasirhm> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/122

14:40:14 <riecatnor> ok so I will work on the submission for the event dates and provide an update
14:40:37 <nasirhm> #action riecatnor to submit the event dates and provide and update
14:41:13 <nasirhm> @orionstar25 any updates on new ticket for it ?
14:41:17 <nasirhm> Thank you @riecatnor
14:44:12 <rparimi[m]> so what happens on FWD?
14:44:37 <nasirhm> riecatnor: I see some action items regarding FWD, once we have the dates finalized, let's discuss them here leter :)
14:44:40 <rparimi[m]> sorry is it open floor yet?
14:45:01 <nasirhm> No worries, let's move to open floor now.
14:45:03 <rparimi[m]> I will hold my question unitl open floor
14:45:09 <nasirhm> #topic Open Floor
14:45:20 <riecatnor> I have things
14:45:29 <rparimi[m]> okay.. so what happens on FWD :D
14:45:40 <riecatnor> :D
14:45:59 <riecatnor> The FWD I went to we had several speakers talking about how to get involved with Fedora
14:46:09 <riecatnor> or, just what they do within Fedora
14:46:21 <rparimi[m]> okay! interesting
14:46:32 <rparimi[m]> thank you riecatnor
14:46:33 <nasirhm> ramyaparimi[m]: Fedora Women's Day (FWD) is a day of celebration to help raise awareness and thanks for the women contributors across the Fedora Project. Fedora Women's Day marks the anniversary of the Fedora Women team. The event is headed by Fedora's Diversity & Inclusion Team.
14:46:54 <riecatnor> that too :) so usually if they are in person we have some food and drink
14:46:56 <riecatnor> hang out
14:47:07 <riecatnor> since it is virtual it will be a bit different
14:47:20 <rparimi[m]> nasir_hm[m]: tq !
14:47:22 <riecatnor> what if we had a series of women from Fedora tell their story of getting involved?
14:47:30 <rparimi[m]> <riecatnor "since it is virtual it will be a"> its BYOB then :D
14:47:39 <riecatnor> bring your own SNACKKSSS
14:47:41 <riecatnor> lol
14:47:54 <nasirhm> riecatnor: Interesting Idea, I'm a massive +1 for the session :D
14:48:24 <rparimi[m]> <riecatnor "bring your own SNACKKSSS"> lol yess
14:48:34 <rparimi[m]> <riecatnor "what if we had a series of women"> that will be awesome
14:49:24 <nasirhm> #info Session Proposal: Women from Fedora sharing their Stories of Getting Involved
14:49:34 <riecatnor> I think multiple sessions!
14:50:03 <riecatnor> could be 15 minutes how they got involved, 15 minutes on what they contribute to and how to get involved in that
14:50:19 <riecatnor> I would also like to see hallway tracks for different languages
14:50:44 <riecatnor> I honestly think that could be the entirety of the weekend with some social hours thrown in
14:50:47 <nasirhm> We can run Fedora Join Workshop type-of thing in the event to have the newcomers get themselves involved too, thoughts ?
14:50:56 <riecatnor> sure we could do a Join workshop
14:51:02 <riecatnor> Maybe one on each day
14:51:10 <riecatnor> have two speakers on each day
14:51:20 <riecatnor> and one social event each day
14:51:28 <riecatnor> and the hallway tracks
14:51:48 <rparimi[m]> what is hallway tracks?
14:52:13 <nasirhm> Sounds Awesome to me, ramyaparimi[m] do you have any ideas for FWD ?
14:53:26 <nasirhm> <ramyaparimi[m] "what is hallway tracks?"> Hallway Track will be a room, where people will join to connect with others like we do in in-person conferences in a Halway :D
14:53:26 <riecatnor> hallway track is an open room where people can just chat
14:53:46 <riecatnor> Before the end of the meeting, I have something if we could change topics?
14:54:09 <rparimi[m]> okay ... nasir_hm[m] cant think of any other ideas for now...thank you for asking
14:54:15 <nasirhm> Sure, we can indeed change topics :)
14:54:37 <nasirhm> <ramyaparimi[m] "okay ... nasir_hm[m] cant think "> No worries, if you have any, feel free to share them here or add a comment in the ticket :)
14:54:53 <rparimi[m]> sure
14:54:54 <riecatnor> I spoke with Justin about FWD and we feel it kind of needs an intervention so we can pull it off. To further that goal, we will meet again next week at the same time, I will chair the meeting
14:55:37 <riecatnor> As a side benefit, we will then be off the same week as the social hour
14:55:56 <nasirhm> Hmm, Will we be having the meeting here marie ?
14:56:02 <riecatnor> yep
14:56:19 <riecatnor> I will have Justin change the meeting invite
14:57:22 <nasirhm> #info The D&I Team will be meeting next week, same time here for discussion about the FWD, riecatnor will be the meeting chair
14:57:27 <nasirhm> Thank You Marie, Excited for FWD :)
14:57:31 <riecatnor> yep!
14:57:48 <riecatnor> also, I am going to write up some email that we can send out to women in Fedora asking if they would like to present
14:57:57 <riecatnor> we can review that next week and get it sent out
14:58:11 <riecatnor> or maybe a commblog post, that we send to mailing lists
14:58:15 <riecatnor> either way, we need to advertise
14:58:34 <riecatnor> I think a commblog post, wdyt?
14:58:35 <rparimi[m]> okay
14:58:55 <rparimi[m]> <riecatnor "I think a commblog post, wdyt?"> sounds good
14:58:55 <nasirhm> #action riecatnor to write a draft for an e-mail or a commblog post to ask women in fedora, if they would like to present their journeys in fedora
14:59:19 <riecatnor> Cool part about this is, we will have the recordings and can make a new series on our Youtuve
14:59:21 <riecatnor> youtube*
14:59:29 <nasirhm> <riecatnor "I think a commblog post, wdyt?"> ++ for the CommBlog Post and How about a Short email to past FWD Organizers and in the D&I ML, ?
14:59:34 <riecatnor> sure
15:00:16 <nasirhm> <riecatnor "Cool part about this is, we will"> Good Idea, we can have something like "We're Fedora" video like we had in Flock.
15:00:46 <riecatnor> mmm, I was thinking to upload each one.. But a trailer video would be an awesome additioN!
15:00:57 <rparimi[m]> yep its is a great idea to post in youtube... it such a great platform and also as an outreach.. I was checking videos on fedora channel yesterday .. there are so many informational videos
15:01:29 <nasirhm> #info Trailer or some teaser like "We're Fedora" in Youtube for FWD.
15:01:37 <nasirhm> ramyaparimi[m]: Indeed :)
15:02:14 <nasirhm> Are we good to close ?
15:02:21 <riecatnor> yep :) thanks nasirhm !
