If there is any chance of someone paying (all or at least some of) an airfare from Australia (yep, it's a long way - you're looking at around 1200 euros), I would be interested in this. I think that the thing that Debian Women collectively has the most expertise in, is community building, in the FOSS world, with a group that is under-represented, or that generally needs encouragement to try joining that world. Women, ethnic minorities, the elderly, people with disabilities, people who didn't get good educational opportunities and non-English speakers (especially if they speak languages that FOSS software isn't often translated into) are some examples of groups that a DW-like effort could be pitched towards. I think that we could have something good to say about something along those lines. Anyone else have thoughts about this?
