FSF and GNOME Calling Women of Community
Aug 27, 2009, 20:02 (0 Talkback[s])
"The event was planned by Stormy Peters, executive director of
the GNOME Foundation, author Hillary Rettig of the "The Lifelong
Activist" and Deborah Nicholson, membership coordinator at the Free
Software Foundation. The three organizers want to gather women
technologists, activists and scholars together at their Boston
location to develop strategies and initiatives to foster sustained
participation by women in the free software community. Nicholson
plans to present success stories from other sources: "Individual
projects have found ways to make women welcome and we will look at
some of these examples and discuss how to build on those
successes."
