Hi all,

Anyone from India who's joining? I guess it is the perfect time.

Dear interns,

Hope you are enjoying your internships and thank you all for blogging about your work!

Let's hold an IRC meeting at 2pm UTC on Tuesday, June 26 on the #gnome-women IRC channel so that you can all meet each other, discuss your work, and ask any questions you might have. We have interns from Osaka, Japan to Stanford, California, USA, which means there is no time that would work well for everyone. 2pm UTC is the time that avoids the middle of the night. Here is what it will be in your location:

11pm Osaka - 1 intern
7:30pm am New Delhi - 1 intern
5pm Helsinki - 1 mentor
4pm Brussels, Freiburg, Gothenburg, Hanover, Liberec, Mantova, Maribor, Skopje, Toulouse - 5 interns, 6 mentors
3pm London - 1 intern, 1 mentor
11am Rio de Janeiro - 1 intern
10am North Carolina, Toronto, Carrollton, Boston - 3 interns, 3 mentors
9am Chicago, Detroit - 2 interns
8am Paonia - 1 mentor
7am Stanford - 1 intern

Mentors, people helping with organizing the program, and interns from previous rounds are welcome and encouraged to attend too!

Proposed Agenda:
- Introductions from everyone
 interns: your name, where you are from, your education and recent projects you worked on, your internship project, whether you are attending GUADEC
 interns from previous rounds: your name, where you are from, your education, your internship project, what you are currently working on in GNOME and/or outside, whether you are attending GUADEC
 mentors: your name, where you are from, what project you are mentoring, what you are currently working on in GNOME and/or outside, whether you are attending GUADEC
 everyone else: your name, where you are from, your involvement with the program, what you are currently working on in GNOME and/or outside,  whether you are attending GUADEC
- Interns discussing what they learned and accomplished in the first month of the internship, and what they are working on now
- Advice people would like to share
- General discussion

Please feel free to propose other topics of discussion for the meeting. I will forward the log of the meeting to these lists afterwards, so that people who missed it will see it and so that everyone can refer to it later.

Of course you are all welcome to use #gnome-women for discussion any time!

Cheers,
Marina
