Re: [Gendergap] Video Q&A discussing Arbcom and gender/orientation harassment cases
yes, nice for arbcom to see how they are perceived and Andrew Lih mentioned the "cultural buzzsaw" tweet for importance of fixing culture as one of the things wikipedia must do. this was for an audience of the US powers that be; it will be interesting to see the impact on future conduct.

Re: [Gendergap] Video Q&A discussing Arbcom and gender/orientation harassment cases
Yes, that was an interesting Q&A - I was familiar with most of the material discussed in the talk (and a lot of it has been discussed here before), but I was surprised by the emotional response afterwards and the number of comments/questions.

[Gendergap] Video Q&A discussing Arbcom and gender/orientation harassment cases
Links: 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS-Y-FuzAH4&t=85m30s 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee#Comments_on_ArbCom_and_gender Folks may be interested in watching the Q&A session at the recent WikiConference USA where gender and harassment was discussed for about 45 minutes.[1] It makes for an interesting summary of how Arbcom is perceived with regard to handling harassment cases, and the types of harassment of significant concern for our community. This has been raised on the Arbcom noticeboard[2], it will be interesting to see how many current Arbcom members make a public comment, or indeed if they are perfectly happy with the way Arbcom currently works, or not.

I was fascinated, but not surprised, to learn that many young women today avoid studying computer science because they, too, fear they won’t fit in." rupert ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org To manage your subscription preferences, including unsubscribing, please visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
Re: [Gendergap] Nice presentation by FloNight on the Cochrane initiative
Rosie also mentioned having a #100wikidays push on women's biographies, it'd be fun to do it as a group!
