Talked with @jbley about this during our 1x1, and she shared this list from Gemini 😆

Famous Scientists

• Karen Uhlenbeck – A pioneering American mathematician who became the first woman to win the prestigious Abel Prize for her fundamental work in geometric partial differential equations and gauge theory.
• George Uhlenbeck – A Dutch-American theoretical physicist who co-discovered the concept of electron spin, fundamentally reshaping the field of quantum mechanics.
• Stanislaw Ulam – A brilliant Polish-American mathematician who played a core role in the Manhattan Project, co-designed the hydrogen bomb, and invented the Monte Carlo method of computation.
• Harold Urey – An American physical chemist who won the 1934 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and later co-conducted the famous Miller-Urey experiment on the origins of life.
• William Unruh – A Canadian theoretical physicist celebrated for predicting the "Unruh effect," which describes how an accelerating observer will perceive blackbody radiation where a stationary observer sees none.
• Shintaro Uda – A Japanese electrical engineer who co-invented the Yagi-Uda antenna, a directional antenna design that became a worldwide standard for television and radar reception.
• Antonio de Ulloa – An 18th-century Spanish general, explorer, and scientist who co-discovered the chemical element platinum and authored the first comprehensive scientific descriptions of South America.
• Nikolay Umov – A prominent Russian physicist and mathematician who pioneered the foundational concepts of energy density and energy movement, introducing the idea of the energy-flux vector.
• ✨Fred Urquhart – A Canadian zoologist who spent decades tracking monarch butterflies, ultimately discovering their massive winter migration destination in the mountains of Mexico.
• Yakov Uspensky – A prominent Russian-American mathematician known for his deep contributions to number theory and his widely used textbooks on mathematical probability.

Famous Artists

• Paolo Uccello – An Italian Renaissance painter and mathematician renowned for his pioneering, obsessive work on mastering linear perspective in art.
• Kitagawa Utamaro – A master Japanese printmaker and painter widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of the ukiyo-e (floating world) genre, famous for his elegant portraits of women.
• Maurice Utrillo – A French painter of the School of Paris who achieved international acclaim for his atmospheric, distinctively textured landscapes and depictions of the Montmartre quarter.
• Jørn Utzon – A visionary Danish architect who achieved global fame for designing the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia, a masterpiece of 20th-century expressionism.
• Albert Uderzo – A legendary French comic book artist and writer who co-created the globally beloved comic strip series Asterix.
• Lesser Ury – A German Impressionist painter and printmaker celebrated for his moody, atmospheric depictions of urban Berlin streets and rainy nightscapes.
• Günther Uecker – A prominent German sculptor and installation artist associated with the ZERO movement, famously known for his avant-garde artwork using tactile arrangements of hammered nails.
• Euan Uglow – A celebrated British figurative painter known for his meticulous, analytical approach to painting the human form, still lifes, and landscapes.
• Jerry Uelsmann – An American photographer who pioneered complex, surreal photomontages using multiple enlargers in a traditional darkroom long before the advent of digital editing software.
• Doris Ulmann – An influential early 20th-century American photographer best remembered for her deeply expressive, haunting portraits of the people of Appalachia and rural America.

More People Upon Research

• Uta Frith (Born 1941) Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychology
  A world-renowned German developmental psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist working in the UK. She is widely recognized as a pioneer in the study of autism and dyslexia. Her book Autism: Explaining the Enigma completely shifted how the medical community understands the cognitive neuroscience of the condition, and she co-created the widely implemented "Sally–Anne test".

• David Unaipon (1872–1967) Engineering & Invention - An Indigenous Australian inventor, author, and philosopher whose face graces the Australian $50 note. Fascinated by aerodynamics, he studied the flight patterns of boomerangs and designed a highly efficient mechanical sheep-shearing device in 1909 that converted curvilinear motion into straight-line movement, transforming the shearing industry. He also spent decades trying to design a perpetual motion machine and anticipated the mechanics of the helicopter.

• Dr. Olabisi Ugbebor (Born 1951) Mathematics - A Nigerian mathematician who shattered systemic barriers in West African academia. Her complex research focuses on probability theory and stochastic analysis—specifically Brownian motion paths, which are used to mathematically model random fluctuations in physics, biology, and stock markets.

I'm leaning towards these as our final choices,

- Fred and Norah Urquhart - visuals inspired by the work w/ butterflies offer a lot of potential avenues
A Canadian zoologist married couple, whose decades of research led to the spectacular 1975 discovery of the monarchs' hidden wintering grounds in the mountains of Mexico. Fred had been researching them since 1937

• Karen Uhlenbeck – Born August 24, 1942
  An American mathematician, who is one of the founders of the field of geometric analysis, a discipline that uses differential geometry to study the solutions to differential equations and vice versa. She has also contributed to topological quantum field theory and integrable systems. Became the first woman to win the prestigious Abel Prize for her fundamental work in geometric partial differential equations and gauge theory.
  

• Albert Uderzo - (I grew up reading Astérix and Obelix, so I'm entertaining this for personal reasons 😆 But not quite sure what visuals could be generated from this direction) -

• Tatyana Ustinova (1913–2009) | Geology & Geomorphology
  A Soviet geologist and geomorphologist who made one of the most significant geographical discoveries of the 20th century. In April 1941, while exploring the remote Kamchatka Peninsula, she and her guide accidentally discovered the Valley of Geysers. This canyon holds the second-largest concentration of geysers in the world. Ustinova mapped and named many of its massive hot springs, publishing the definitive book on the region.

The winner is Karen Uhlenbeck!

I'll organize a mindmap meeting for generating some visuals associated with her career within the next two weeks! I'll also do some reviewing of her research.

Needs research

A ticket that someone new to the team could complete, but will require them to get some help/background.

  

Newbie

Well-documented

A ticket that someone new to the team could complete and is well-documented.

  

points

01

A task that is simple, small, and has very little uncertainty. It should be easy enough for any team member to pick up and complete quickly, without a lot of discussion or research.

  

points

02

This is a task that is slightly more complex or larger than a "1." It might involve two or three simple steps, but the outcome is still very clear and there's little uncertainty.

  

points

03

Medium-sized task with some noticeable complexity. It might require a bit more thought or collaboration. The steps are well-defined, but it's not a trivial change.

  

points

05

A significant piece of work. It has more complexity and a higher degree of uncertainty than smaller tasks. It might require some research, a design discussion, or collaboration across multiple teams.

  

points

08

Complex task with a lot of uncertainty. It's often the largest size that a team will consider for a single sprint. It likely requires a detailed breakdown and multiple team members to complete.

  

points

13

Any task that feels like it's a "13" or more is considered an Epic. These are too large and uncertain to be worked on in a single sprint and should be broken down.

  

Priority

High

This is for work that is critical and needs to be addressed next sprint. It's often for tickets that are time-sensitive, align to Fedora Strategic Initiatives, or is a leadership request.

  

Priority

Low

This is for work that is good to do but not urgent. It's a candidate for being worked on when there's extra time or when it rises in importance. It can stay in the backlog for a longer period.

  

Priority

Medium

This is for important work that should be done soon, but isn't as urgent as a high-priority item. It will likely be considered for the next 1-2 sprints.

  

Status

Backlog

Items that have been triaged and that we aren't actively working on.
