Hi all, I think it's time to collect impressions and ideas from these days of "energy" in the list (83% eh?) and re-organize them in a IRC session. Maybe I become DW-IRC-Meeting addicted but I think it's important to discuss some points as:
1. wiki: - what to do with past courses' pages? They are supposed to be left unchangeble as historical document? (And if so, why don't put them into the website?) 2. website: how it runs? How is it organize? Can we "put some energy" it? (sorry Marga but that phrase will become our "motto" *g*) E.g: I'll be glad to translate the contents in italian: where I can find the sources to do the job? We can also put some feeds or a blogroll. Or update the content in some ways. But discuss on it, please: don't let die a useful resource of communication with the world as a website is ;) 3. Statistics: ok, we have done the first step. We have some numbers on which discuss. But I think we can analyze much deeper this number, or if we need, add more. I can try to compile a stastics for male DD/DM to compare the female contributors statistics to something. Or we can compare it with data of non-Debian female contributor to see if it is a problem in Debian or a a general women problem (probably this, but we need to verify our past job, doesn't we?) Hint: what about other distros? Do they have similar statistics about female contributors? I've searched a little and I've found an Ubuntu Census Survey[1] that's not gender-related and not very interesting cause the sample is build not only from developers but also from users (based on devel-ML but also users' forums). The women percentage, indeed, is 2,4%. More interesting, I think, the FLOSS-POLS' studies: not really updated but things aren't change so much. I'm trying to understand something from this [2]. 4. About bonds with other groups: why don't we try to have a meeting - IRC meeting - with UW, SuSe women, Fedora Women or... Gentoo (?) Slackware (?) ... $distro Women and we all try to share ideas? I'm curious to know how other groups manage problems like this (the lack of statistics), etc. [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCensusSurvey [2] http://www.flosspols.org/index.php These are the point I think we can discuss. So, if you're ok with the meeting we can decide the date ;) Cheers, Francesca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
