Re: Debian's Freenode IRC channels

Apart from rejoining the OFTC Debian channels, I also joined the Freenode ones since they are still the more populous. The channels I joined included #debian-offtopic - a 'secret' channel which they freely redirect offtopic conversation to if they are asked for an offtopic channel. Its better to stick to the debian servers. Freenode is well freenode. Even Linuxchix had a similar problem years ago, its practically not possible to stop folks from creating channels. At best educate people where the correct resources lie, in this case : redirect folks to the debian servers. -- Vid || http://www.svaksha.com || -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Do DD's from DW want to speak in India?
Hello, Last month i had suggested to Christian : If any female DD's who are a large part of DW, would be interested to speak on any technical project they are involved with Debian, at any Indian FLOSS event. The intention is two-fold : ~ Gives good visibility to the Debian project ~ better visibility to women involved in Debian development. Ideally a technical talk, rather than the why DW exists kind of advocacy talk. If any women are interested, i can find out about sponsors locally. Thoughts? -- Vid || http://www.svaksha.com || -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I sound disappointed, well i am :( [0] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-women/2008-January/001242.html that since many UD are DDs, the influence of Debian-Women on the DDs/UDs has allowed Ubuntu-Women to focus on other areas, since the developing areas had already been fixed by Debian-Women. True, is not something one can specifically point at but DW influence is there. Also the Ubuntu CoC plays a huge role in Ubuntu, which Debian does not have, but each to its own. As was already stated, we don't oppose to making this effort broader, and reaching user communities as well, but for doing that, we would have to have a lot of time and put a lot of effort into it, which we currently don't have, and it was never one of our priority aims. If it's your priority, you have the time and the will to do it, then you are more than welcome to do it. But I don't think it's fair to come here demanding that we should do something that we never claimed we would do. right, I guess that is true for any situation, not just Debian. -- Vid || http://www.svaksha.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
