It's a coincidence, but not merely that. AdaCamp in Melbourne <URL:http://adainitiative.org/what-we-do/events/adacamp-mel-2012/> and Haecksen <URL:http://haecksen.net/> and other events have free software communities worldwide discussing this topic lately, for which I'm very glad. Also relevant: Karen Sandler speaks in the latest Free As In Freedom oggcast <URL:http://faif.us/cast/2012/jan/17/0x20/> about the sexism and discrimination women face in technical fields, and mentions that she is speaking at LinuxConf.AU tomorrow 2012-01-19 as the keynote speaker <URL:http://linux.conf.au/media/news/51>. -- \ “True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to | `\ others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you | _o__) want.” —Larry Wall | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb
