Hi, I had to suggested that we try to announce a common "Women in FLOSS"-day on freedesktop promotion list, lately: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/promotion/2006-November/000125.html
(so this is more of a copy of my original posting) I think this could be make more vital by the groups: Ubuntu Women, Debian Women, KDE Women, GNOME Women, Fedora Women , [EMAIL PROTECTED] This could be a day of action and may rise much more public awareness for both: Free/Libre Open Source as well as for Womens issues. The problem is that women are a minority, but many women are less minority. If they are few and if the argument like the ones on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWomen are the right one, that it would be good if many women in FLOSS projects would meet to discuss and act. And I think that this will also be to the benefit of the awareness for a free desktop. I think free software is also emancipation! :-) Thilo PS: Question would be where a contact point could be: I found out today that there are no GNU Women, nor does GNU.org has a wiki, yet!? hm... -- Blog: http://vinci.wordpress.com Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/tpfennig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
