Hello Daniel ! Thanks for replay.
It is good idea to engage them with free software. but, i think it's too early for them. I believe that first stage is to meet them with Debian Linux show them that there is other OS except Windows, Than explain them about open-source community and introduce them to the Debian community via video conference. By doing this i hope it will encourage women to get more involved. Next week i'll try to schedule time for video conference. if you know people that might be interested to * Explain about Debian Linux * Encourage women to be involved in community * Introduce the community * Display small presentation about open-source * Explain why open-source is important * Why use Linux instead windows * Community that can adapt our girls and motivate them to contribute etc... You might want to join them to this conversation :-) On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 7:49 PM, Daniel Pocock <dan...@pocock.com.au> wrote: > > > Hi Yehuda, > > Thanks for your email to Debian > > I'm mentoring a female student in Google Summer of Code this year.
