I agree, the person already wrote (twice) to the list explaining and apologizing ... I think it is more productive to keep the focus on the topic of this thread.. which is the conference. About that, I like the idea of having women speakers only, I would suggest the following (about men participating -not as speakers - on the event or not). That we host sessions for women only inside of it, and others that are open. I like a lot the work the genderchangers does, I would suggest to have workshops like those they do in the event. These workshops would be great for girls who are just starting with free technologies. And maybe those should the 'women only' ones. I would also suggest to add to the event page or propaganda the explanation from genderchangers 'why women only is important' to reply right at the beginning why we would have those spaces in the conference. bye, toya -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
