that are happening for Open Access week [22-26 Oct] and/or Ada
Lovelace day [16th Oct]? There's a lot going on!
If there's not a list yet, maybe folks can just reply to the mailing
list letting others know about their

Hi Lennart!
Not addressing the question of whether we've made any difference... but if
you're quoting numbers AFAIK the best research on the gender gap numbers is

Dear friends,
We are all heartbroken here in Berlin where the Wikimedia Conference is
going on, and where Cynthia was participating.
It has been a very rough week for our community. Let's support and be kind
to each other, and continue the work that Adrianne and Cynthia believed in
and loved.

Taranet, that's fantastic :) Let us know if you need any help, and let us
know how the event goes!
Sarah, thanks so much for putting together the page. Adrianne would be
honored.
best,

Actually we encourage extra nights for jetlag; sometimes people don't
have the time in their schedules though. Also we are trying to reduce
the time commitment for board service and especially trips to SF --
down to maybe 2/year max. Still though it's a fair bit of work/travel.

You may know about WikiSym -- the international symposium on wikis and
open collaboration -- which is an annual research conference about
wikis. It is being held week after next in Mountain View, CA this
