14:05:10 <riecatnor> there it is ;)
14:05:37 <riecatnor> So, I have to apologize, I don't have an agenda for today as requested. Things have been super busy with making FWD happen tho :)
14:06:14 <riecatnor> My thought was we could discuss FWD a bit
14:06:17 <rparimi72> riecatnor you are already doing so much.. so totally understand :D
14:06:28 <riecatnor> #topic FWD
14:06:38 <riecatnor> the event is tomorrow!
14:06:58 <riecatnor> #link https://hopin.to/events/fedora-women-s-day
14:07:10 <riecatnor> we have 53 people signed up so far!
14:07:12 <rparimi72> yeaaaaaaa so excited
14:07:56 <riecatnor> I spent some time early this morning sending direct emails to about 20 women/diversity in tech groups inviting them. It is last minute but hopefully they pass that on and we can get some more participation :)
14:08:26 <rparimi72> awesome
14:08:44 <riecatnor> If you can think of any of the other communities you may be in at work or in open source, friends, etc, feel free to share
14:09:04 <riecatnor> I will tweet again today, and then a bunch over the next couple days, so keep an eye out and retweet
14:09:30 <rparimi72> for sure\
14:10:02 <riecatnor> rparimi72, do you have any time today to work on things in hopin?
14:10:16 <rparimi72> yes I do
14:10:24 <rparimi72> hello lilyx
14:10:43 <lilyx> hello :)

14:11:34 <riecatnor> thanks, gimme one sec
14:13:05 <rparimi72> alright
14:13:19 <riecatnor> k, just requested access for you and nasirhm
14:13:34 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, if you need some help with hopin, I am free in 2 horus
14:13:36 <siddharthvipul> hours*
14:13:37 <riecatnor> Hopefully that happens quick :)
14:13:45 <riecatnor> siddharthvipul, ooo, yes please
14:14:06 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, great, just let me know what to do :D
14:14:09 <riecatnor> We have a few tasks left to do
14:14:41 <riecatnor> We need to take the polls from this doc (they are complete) https://hackmd.io/I-GhZX1TQF6tJ_8w1IwbhQ?view
14:14:47 <riecatnor> and put them in hopin
14:15:04 <riecatnor> If you see the wording needs tweaks or anything, go ahead
14:15:34 <nasirhm> hey
14:15:39 <riecatnor> also, we can do more than what we wrote up so far.. so keep thinking :)
14:15:41 <nasirhm> .hello2
14:15:42 <zodbot> nasirhm: nasirhm 'Nasir Hussain' <nasirhussainm14@gmail.com>
14:15:50 <riecatnor> hi nasirhm
14:16:06 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, do you want all the polls entered at once?
14:16:14 <nasirhm> siddharthvipul: Hey o/
14:16:33 <siddharthvipul> I can do it.. but wondering if doing it one by one say every 30 minutes or an hour will get more answers
14:16:35 <nasirhm> riecatnor: hey o/
14:16:37 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, I can do it
14:16:39 <siddharthvipul> nasirhm, hey
14:16:45 <riecatnor> hmmm
14:16:50 <riecatnor> anyone else have thoughts on this?
14:16:58 <nasirhm> 30 mins one sounds good.
14:17:02 <riecatnor> I think we could have the base set of polls, and then make more as the event happens
14:17:08 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, +1
14:17:11 <rparimi72> yep 30 min is a good idea
14:17:13 <lilyx> that makes sense to do
14:17:15 <riecatnor> I dont want someone to have to maintain that during the event
14:17:35 <riecatnor> If we could schedule them, that would be rad
14:17:40 <riecatnor> feature request!
14:17:42 <nasirhm> +1
14:18:24 <riecatnor> #action siddharthvipul to add polls to hopin
14:18:29 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, thank you
14:18:50 <nasirhm> siddharthvipul: Thank you for working on it :)
14:19:12 <riecatnor> we need to upload the files from this page to hopin as well
14:19:14 <riecatnor> #link https://pagure.io/design/issue/693
14:19:33 <riecatnor> I am finishing up the last of the pics for the sessions now, and the 3 for the hallway tracks
14:19:40 <riecatnor> nb_, around?
14:19:58 <rparimi72> riecatnor meaning more sessions?
14:20:33 <riecatnor> nope, we need to add the pictures to the sessions in hopin. I realize this might not make sense if you haven't been on hopin yet >.<
14:22:03 <nasirhm> riecatnor: Thanks for the Hopin invite, the UI looks pretty interactive
14:22:48 <riecatnor> oh great you are in already, rparimi72 you should have the invite as well
14:23:00 <rparimi72> yep checking :)
14:23:25 <riecatnor> rparimi72, can I navigate you to the place where the PNGs need to be uploaded?
14:24:11 <rparimi72> riecatnor yes please :)
14:24:44 <riecatnor> Starting at the event dashboard, click Sessions on the left hand side. You will see a page titled Session Management.
14:25:06 <rparimi72> Yes I am in that already
14:25:12 <rparimi72> should I click on edit?
14:25:14 <riecatnor> Click "Edit" on one of the sessions. You will see "Choose File"
14:25:16 <riecatnor> yep!
14:25:24 <rparimi72> yep session picture
14:25:31 <riecatnor> There are corresponding PNGs that go with each session
14:25:35 <rparimi72> alright will upload the respective png to the speaker
14:25:54 <riecatnor> So far, all of the Fedora women & nb series ones are made. I am working on finishing up the rest
14:26:05 <riecatnor> #action rparimi72 to upload pics to sessions in hopin
14:26:12 <rparimi72> great :)
14:26:29 <riecatnor> thanks!
14:27:28 <rparimi72> anytime
14:27:44 <riecatnor> So those are all the necessities.
14:27:47 <riecatnor> Can you believe it??
14:27:58 <riecatnor> And we have a totally packed schedule :)
14:28:05 <riecatnor> I had an idea tho
14:28:17 <riecatnor> I feel like we could offer a bit more in the networking category
14:28:20 <riecatnor> Thoughts?
14:29:02 <nasirhm> riecatnor: Hmm, having something like the light (5 mins) sessions where you talk to someone would be cool, thoughts ?
14:29:11 <riecatnor> I did leave plenty of time between sessions for conversation to happen naturally. Maybe we should open the networking area for the second half of each hour?
14:29:26 <riecatnor> nasirhm, yes, hopin has that function
14:29:45 <nasirhm> riecatnor, It's a +1 from my side for the Networking area :)
14:29:48 <riecatnor> as of right now we do not have that function explicitly set up for any time
14:30:06 <rparimi72> riecatnor +1
14:30:08 <riecatnor> nasirhm, do you have capacity to help out today?
14:30:58 <nasirhm> riecatnor: Sure :)
14:31:21 <nasirhm> How can I help ?
14:31:33 <riecatnor> ok, so I will have you make schedule listings for networking
14:31:41 <riecatnor> go to schedules on the left hand side
14:32:19 <nasirhm> I'm there
14:32:26 <riecatnor> Click "Add to Schedule"
14:32:45 <riecatnor> Name of segment will be "Networking Session"
14:33:17 <nasirhm> Starts At ?
14:33:59 <riecatnor> Description will be "Come join the Networking area to meet and greet with fellow attendees at Fedora Women's Day. You will be paired with someone for 3 minutes, with the choice to extend the call."
14:34:28 <riecatnor> well, I need you to figure the timing out
14:34:36 <riecatnor> And we will need to make multiple sessions
14:34:45 <riecatnor> I am going to share a google doc with you, hold on
14:35:25 <nasirhm> Ah, So, I'll go through the schedule and find the time in between and add the sessions there :)
14:36:35 <nasirhm> Ah, I'm waiting for the GDoc
14:37:19 <riecatnor> ok, so did you get the doc?
14:37:23 <riecatnor> also, I have too many windows open haha
14:37:47 <nasirhm> No worries, let me see
14:37:59 <nasirhm> not yet.
14:38:19 <riecatnor> I sent you the link in PM
14:38:53 <nasirhm> Hmm, I see it now
14:39:07 <riecatnor> ok, see the tabs for the dates
14:39:20 <nasirhm> Hmm, I see them
14:39:22 <riecatnor> I added in where the networking session timing will be
14:39:37 <nasirhm> Awesome, I'll get them on Hopin
14:39:38 <riecatnor> does it make sense?
14:39:47 <riecatnor> thank you!
14:39:52 <riecatnor> And I need to make a pic for that as well
14:40:13 <nasirhm> Pic ?
14:40:19 <riecatnor> #action nasirhm to add in networking sessions to hopin
14:40:30 <riecatnor> nasirhm, picture or PNG for the session
14:40:35 <riecatnor> don't worry about that
14:40:39 <riecatnor> not yet :P lol
14:40:48 <riecatnor> just reminding myself.
14:40:57 <lilyx> Do you need help with any image editing/making?
14:41:04 <nasirhm> Cool. :)
14:41:28 <riecatnor> lilyx, I am actually so close to being done with the images I think :(
14:41:33 <riecatnor> well, I am also happy about that lol
14:41:40 <riecatnor> thank you tho!!
14:41:54 <lilyx> anytime :)
14:41:59 <riecatnor> lilyx, would you like to help with content after the event?
14:42:04 <lilyx> totally
14:42:08 <riecatnor> cool!
14:42:09 <nasirhm> riecatnor: I've got something for the open floor .
14:42:13 <riecatnor> I have a lot of good ideas
14:42:23 <riecatnor> ok nasirhm one sec, just trying to think if there is anything else
14:43:02 <nasirhm> Great :)
14:43:17 <riecatnor> We need a write up for the reception page
14:43:27 <lilyx> I can help with that
14:43:38 <nasirhm> lilyx++ :)
14:43:57 <riecatnor> lilyx, awesome!
14:44:12 <riecatnor> can you write up the draft here: https://hackmd.io/I-GhZX1TQF6tJ_8w1IwbhQ?view
14:44:36 <lilyx> totally, what should it entail and when do you need it uploaded by?
14:45:30 <riecatnor> need it by the end of the day today, I can make any last minute edits
14:46:01 <nasirhm> riecatnor: for the networking sessions, do we need to add some tags ?
14:46:07 <riecatnor> It should be a brief description of FWD, mention D&I team and what they do, talk a little bit about the stories of Fedora women & nb,like these are inspiring etc
14:46:22 <riecatnor> It should also include something about coc. hold on
14:47:48 <riecatnor> Ok, I just added in an example from Nest
14:47:51 <riecatnor> see it there?
14:48:04 <riecatnor> nasirhm, nah, I haven't been messing with tags. Maybe for release party we could play with that feature
14:48:40 <lilyx> yup yup, ok that makes sense
14:48:52 <nasirhm> Hmm, That'll be cool. I'm adding one on 16th :)
14:48:54 <riecatnor> A lot of that you can just copy and paste
14:49:07 <nasirhm> riecatnor: It's there
14:49:32 <nasirhm> riecatnor: Oops, The Description is too long.
14:50:32 <riecatnor> hmmm hold on
14:50:37 <riecatnor> oh, I didn't see it lol
14:50:52 <riecatnor> #action lilyx to draft up reception page text
14:50:57 <lilyx> totally. Regarding the stories for inspirational points, is there a place where some of that content is written? like bios or synopses on the presenters?
14:52:19 <riecatnor> Nah, try to make it general. "This year we have crafted a series of sessions highlighting the tech journies of various women & non-binary contributors. We hope their stories educate and inspire you."
14:52:49 <lilyx> ah ok I see what you mean
14:52:58 <riecatnor> So I have another meeting to run in 8 mins, and I do need to grab a quick break so
14:53:03 <riecatnor> #topic open floor
14:53:06 <riecatnor> nasirhm, what's up?
14:53:32 <riecatnor> journeys*
14:53:37 <riecatnor> that was driving me crazy lol
14:54:41 <nasirhm> Hmm, I haven't send the email to past attendees yet, I've got their emails and the email text, I was wondering if we have some fedora address to do that, rather than my personal email.
14:55:07 <riecatnor> nasirhm, ashlyn already sent that??
14:55:11 <riecatnor> I keep saying that lol
14:55:18 <riecatnor> I swear she did?
14:55:22 <riecatnor> hold on let me look at my email
14:55:33 <riecatnor> I think we were trying to reach outside of the community
14:56:18 <riecatnor> hmmm
14:56:20 <riecatnor> I see this:
14:56:27 <riecatnor> Fedora Women's Day 2020 - Survey and Final Call for Participation
14:56:31 <riecatnor> maybe that is what I was thinking of
14:56:39 <riecatnor> Do you want me to send it?
14:56:54 <siddharthvipul> riecatnor, would be nice to come from you
14:57:16 <nasirhm> riecatnor: I'm referring to the this email: https://hackmd.io/I-GhZX1TQF6tJ_8w1IwbhQ#Emailing-Past-Organizers--Attendees
14:58:08 <nasirhm> riecatnor: currently the list is in a python list's format, I'm gonna parse into a simple one which you can copy paste on GMail and send the email :)
14:59:08 <riecatnor> perfect
14:59:12 <riecatnor> I will send it
14:59:16 <riecatnor> gotta run for now tho
14:59:23 <riecatnor> THANKS EVERYONE!!
