I can't say I haven't played with that idea myself, but ... 

During those 12 years I've been involved with FLOSS (yes, I'm old :)), I've 
seen various *-women groups rise and fall -- mostly into memory hole. Few of 
them survived more than couple of years.

Such a group might be a good platform for women that already are part of the 
project to bond over ... uhm, all things only women in tech, even more so 
FLOSS can bond over :) but it hardly ever helps to get more women (from 
outside) involved.

For that, it is absolutely essential to have a very good mentoring scheme in 
place ... and we're getting there, but not quite yet. 

For example in Debian project, Debian Women group are (some kinda) patrons of 
their mentoring program. [1] I'd like to get some more feedback, though, 
before pushing that idea through ...

Hi Katarine,
First of all I hope you enjoyed the conference.

I apologize that we have disappointed you. I agree with you that we 
should have provided also a lady model. More and more women are joining 
the community and the conference management should have adjusted to this.


When that is said I will also remind that the more options (size, shape, 
colour, ...) we offer, the more waste we will see. But that is something 
that can be handled. My proposal for next year will be to add two extra 
questions to the registration form: T-shirt size and preferred shape.



Cheers,
Leif Lodahl

Hello world,

I miss ladies model of this year's conference T-shirt.

It's leaps and bounds better for marketing and promoting the project when its
members and users wear merchandise they actually look good in. And I can
hardly go around and promote LibreOffice project in a T-shirt that doesn't fit
(men's cut, too loose around waist).

LibreOffice shop [1] got it right, it actually has greater choice of ladies T-
shirts (in comparison to guys' ) :)

Something to keep in mind for next year's con ... and something that was done
very profesionally on last year's con, one of the best tech conference T-shirt
I ever had.

On that note, something to add that will hopefully help set the right tone:

Hi Katarina,

I completely agree with you.

Also, I was thinking to create the librewoman community to encourage
women to get involved in the project. :)

This year I saw some women, I was so happy with that.

See you next year.

I know a couple of leaders active in the PyLadies community here in
the States who could be good resources, if you'd like an introduction.
A stronger relationship w/the Python community is always a solid bet
for us, so this could be a great situation to kill two birds with one
stone. Oh -- and if you like alliteration, you might consider the name

Hi Eliane/Katarina,

I'd be delighted to help out with the creation of a librewoman community 
- good female/male numerical balance is one of the best signs an 
inclusive environment. I also have a recruitment and social policy 
background, so maybe those might be useful too :)
