Ok ladies, let's get this show on the road! Erinn has done a heroic job of getting this list created, and hosting set up on http://alioth.debian.org. These are Very Large Achievements. Let's keep things moving forward!
Here are things that need to be done: Sign up on http://alioth.debian.org for an account. That's the first step. Then you'll be ready to sign on to the project(s) of your choice. After that, tell Erinn so that she can add you to the project. For non-developers, your login name will be yourname-guest, so make sure when you tell her what it is. You can invent a project, or join an existing one. See the list below for ideas. Get creative! This is your chance to do Cool Things! We need content for http://women.alioth.debian.org/! And folks to run the backend- posting pages, site design and layout, and such. Here's some ideas for content: Links: - linuxchix.org genderchangers.org kde.women.org gnurias.org.br linuxchix.org.br ...etc... Include brief descriptions of what each link is about, and any country-specific information. - Linking to other Debian resources will also be good, but I suspect we don't need to have someone gather those since they're all on one site. :) Profiles: - Showcase women in tech. We can start with Debian-women. Lots of women think they are too insignificant. Well, that's just not true. Profiles will introduce us to each other. Profiles will increase the visibility of women in Debian, and in tech. Visibility is the #1 key to encouraging and supporting women in tech. Technical stuff: - Scripts, howtos, cool commands- anytime you learn something new and cool, no matter how small you think it is, write it up! The Linux world is composed of zillions of tiny little things working together to make big things. It all matters. Translations: -This is an international group! Translators needed for like everywhere! Unless you want this to be yet another US-centric project... :) Other docs: - This might be a more organic thing that grows over time. Erinn volunteers to write the mission statement, since this project is partially her fault. If anyone has ideas for other docs pertaining to this project, feel free to submit them to Erinn or the list. TODO list: - Staying organized gets things done without driving everyone crazy. Someone please volunteer to take charge of the TODO list. That's what we have so far. Ideas welcome, and people to do the actual work are highly prized and valued and adored! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carla Schroder this message brought to you by Libranet 2.8 and Kmail ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
