We will be meeting at channel #wfs-india at irc.freenode.net This is a first meeting among people who feel the need to have a community for women in FOSS in India to help each other, connect with each other and address common issues faced by us. Although, no strict agenda has been fixed, a few topics which might be raised at the meeting are - - why and if at all do we need a group to promote FOSS among women in India - how we can improve networking among women in software in India - how we can unite to address common issues faced by women in technology in India - how we can help each other to build skills, expertise and grow professionally and personally - if we can organize an event (something on the line of adacamp - (I really love the idea)) in India. - anything that you wish to bring up to help the cause. Please join in if you are interested. Regards, Satabdi -- Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.
