Apache Flex.  IMO, we want to be the choice for new programmers as well as
experienced programmers.  Full disclosure: Justin and Harbs and I are all
on the PMC.  Not sure what kind of impression we left on the Sharan
thread, but I honestly don't think I've seen any improper behavior toward
someone based on some demographic attribute.

I also need a general introduction to ASF, and why a young

ComDev has a speaker resources page.  I urge everyone who has a
relevant slide deck or the like to add it there:

http://community.apache.org/speakers/slides.html

Separately, if folks are also interested in how the internals of
the Foundation are governed, we've got that too:

http://www.apache.org/foundation/governance/


These are good slides. Thanks for the reminder, Shane.

I'd also suggest that, as I've learned ("from personal experience":
anecdotal and specific but maybe useful), I was able to engage and
involve more people (regardless of subject position [translated:
however they define themselves or are defined as selves by others])
by being concrete and specific regarding projects. ASF as a general
idea is great, but it's about doing, and that means, at least for me
and for many others, doing in particular projects. In practice, this
means it might help (read: probably will, but not necessarily)
focusing on those projects you think cool and (or) know. Also helps
to bring out the stalwarts of those who can speak to the virtues and
excitements of their projects. And Apache has a lot of those and
that's to its credit.


Good points. Unfortunately, the projects in which I'm currently active 
are not very beginner-friendly.


Could people suggest a few projects that would benefit from, and be able 
to use, relatively inexperienced programmers right now?

Start on our newcomers page. It should answer most of your general questions. 
See http://community.apache.org/newcomers/

If you have specific questions about the foundation this is the place to ask. 
If you find a project your are interested in after reading the above pages then 
you can ask your questions within that community (guidance in the above pages)

Hi Patricia,

I've given some talks on this that are not specific to woman but might 
be useful [1][2].  I'd be happy to discuss any of the details of the 
presentation directly.
