Thanks Christian! I am hoping for a mix of men and women to be there, as is normal for #debian-women. > Something's not clear: is this welcome channel intended to be > temporary during the event, or more permanent. It's intended to be temporary. If it works, I guess we could consider making it more permanent. But that might be harder, because something like this really needs people to be paying it close attention all the time, so I'm not sure how long we could keep that up for. What do people think about the idea of a more permanent channel for newcomers to Debian Women or IRC? Helen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
