Hi people, I'm planning to give classes of introduction to systems administration gratis for girls at a conference in Brazil (FISL), and I would like to know whether you would like me to translate information about this activity and also brand it as a Debian Women initiative.
I know some people do not like the idea of exclusive activities and groups to girls, but I think this is very important to not only get the girls to the classroom, but also to get attention from the media do this issue: we do need more women active in IT, and systems administration is the far worse women representation in the IT community and companies. There's a big training company in Brazil, called 4Linux, which will provide written material, and I am donating my time to deliver those classes. We will accept 70 people into the training, which will be a total of 10 to 15 hours. So if you would like to do this, I would then focus on Debian stuff, talk about the existence of this group, and add more info about how to get involved to the materials.
