OK so I didn't explain well on IRC. There were multiple contests. One was an essay contest. The one you're talking about was a contest for photos of little girls using Ubuntu, released under a CC license, so that the usual repertoire of boysboysboys using computers has something to complement it. The goal was to have real images that can be used for posters and suchlike that aren't reinforcing the stereotype of computers = boys. -- Mackenzie Morgan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
