Anne, I hope things work out with the new mailing list. I know at least one of the open source software projects I am involved with has discussed the problem of encouraging the participation of more women.

The idea is born as a collaboration with Systers, the world's largest email community of technical women in computing [0]. Discussions will focus on OSGeo members who wish to involve more women in OSGeo projects. Any input for discussion and sharing of ideas as well as project collaboration is welcome, as well as successful case studies. The list is opened to OSGeo members of either gender. best regards, Anne Ghisla and Wolf Bergenheim [0] http://www.anitaborg.org/initiatives/systers Warning: Information provided via electronic media is not guaranteed against defects including translation and transmission errors.
