However, we are all over the world, flying to an in-person meeting takes time and (a lot of) money. And also, doing a women-only meeting sounds weird to me. We don't want to isolate that much from the whole Debian community. I've been thinking that something else that could be done along this line would be to encourage (and sponsor) more local/pseudo-local women to go to mini-debconfs. I've heard that there are a few mini-debconfs coming up in Europe (.fr, .it) and it might be a good idea to choose one of them and encourage the women in Europe to go there. It won't be all of us, but it could be a nice group to start building up, without spending that much time and money. If there is another mini-DebConf in some other places, Debian Women that are near can try to gather there as well. Yet another possibility would be to do a bigger event, with all the rest of women in Free Software groups (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mozilla, GNOME, KDE, linuxchix?, etc). This would mean a lot of work in organization and the like, but it might be worth it, I'm not sure. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
