Is kinda funny that you ask what I'm doing, Peter. Sounds like unless I'm being paid for WMF to deal with Gender Gap I shouldn't have a voice, and shut the f*** up. But anyway....
You wanna know what I'm doing? I tell you: I'm organizing not one, but 2 conferences with focus in the women in this movement. The first one is the - already announced here - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp and the second (1 day after this one) is a Gender Gap specify conference who will happens in the same place and city (more about this one soon). I also already made a presentation about Gender Gap to an event in India: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gender_Gap_in_Wikimedia_projects.pdf Now I'm qualified to talk? _____ *Béria Lima* Wikimedia Portugal <http://wikimedia.pt> (351) 963 953 042 *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.
