-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear all I received this message some time ago and I redirected to some personal contacts, but I've been requested to spread (more) the word about it, so resending to debian-women, debian-l10n-italian, and debian-user-italian.
I hope it's not too late if somebody wants to attend the Linux Day and maybe give some talk/workshop.

Fecha: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 16:40:32 +0100 De: Riccardo Lancellotti <riccardo.lancello...@unimore.it> Para: Laura Arjona <larj...@larjona.net> CC: Claudia Canali <claudia.can...@unimore.it> Dear dr. Arjona, I am a researcher at university of Modena and Reggio Emilia. I have also been involved in the organization of the Linux Day event in Moden a for the past 11 years. The Linux Day is a nation-wide Italian event typically held in the las t Saturday of October dedicated to promoting Free software, Open Source and Open Content (the initial focus was much more technical but over the years the attention shifted from highly technical topics to the cultural impact of these technological solutions). We are starting a brainstorming activity about the upcoming 2016 Linux Day and a topic of interest that we would like to address this year is the contribution of womens to the FOSS community. Addressing this topic at the Linux day is a step within a path our research group and our university started a few years ago. As engineering classes are typically a gender unbalanced environment, we started to look for ways to promote a higher presence of womens in our courses. Multiple initiatives have been proposed to this aim. For example, 2016 will be the year of the third edition of the "ragazz e digitali" summer camp (http://www.ragazzedigitali.it/), organized by members of our research group. Furthermore, my colleague Claudia Canali (in CC) is the coordinator of the University of Modena research unit of a Horizon 2020 European project titled Project EQUALIST "Gender Equality Plans for Information Sciences and Technology Research Institutions" (currently in phase of grant agreement with the EU) and will be contributing to the organization of the Linux Day. As long-term debian users, we really would like to ask you if someone in the Debian Women group is interested in participating to the event providing a presentation of her experience as a woman in the world of FOSS in general and in the Debian community in particular. Given the nature of the audience (mostly high school and university students), and for budget reasons, we would be prefer to have an Italian-speaking speaker possibly from Italy (it would be hard for us to afford the expenses reimbursement of a long-range international travel). Please let me know if you are interested. In the negative case, I ask you kindly if you can suggest me someone else to contact. - -- Best regards, Riccardo - -- Laura Arjona Reina https://wiki.debian.org/LauraArjona -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQGcBAEBCAAGBQJXMMF4AAoJEEw4Yb3McGt0NUsMAOeJtTUIQwvUG0tf2YBm6POf HU1bVlAIKE7PRQsUUy66aTxB4EDOfbh+XOSA+Z9C7dNJ5ulGHVI1jYUEVJi7zwB/ ySg0Z/GK4hgU9jx4MLPuLsTSOwqLHRXA7TNXHIsZ3GL7M9a3/U4HTBVrLcgo7Yxg vkKy59C9s7Vu+CeJAFR2m01bpOcJDmmLr/R5ydcJotv2zzWrFXFzmfqkKXn4jM3d cSLL2xnWhO8HI8ZZCWCJ7Uys6OtTWsJ7Hu+2uDwPscbbI0A/0yz//GUpsAM2rn5H Yx00VEZocoW7pkJZHVcEv2Mm0zfXqThvPfkGqv0arXBxyUrrs6vo0Uf7Bf1aACVI zw5dFcYQECoMP3ivfDTudjgIP2+dvEs8Loo//E02mxkjkjQNDoUzXXCPv6FBR+Sr 5JhPNz18z2rGRnWTZykWj9vCAP0ogmKgzKmu5d5EkGCcEgpRYpu2ZQCKlEPVW4q7 YQLwSpzPW26k1+XnKSJ8lXzAK7rDUrHte9SGPS29yw== =q1YV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
