Thanks everyone for the feedback.
Is it possible for me to get some space (eg a page etc on the Comdev
wiki) to put together these initial ideas and the action points? I'm
also thinking of using it to help develop the ideas further and to track
the actions in progress.
Thanks

What I will say (with my Presidents hat firmly on), is that if folks come up
with a strategy that is in line with our charitable mission then please don't
hesitate to ask for any support you need.

Subject: Encouraging More Women to Participate on Apache Projects?
Hi All
I'm interested in finding out how we could encourage more women to
participate on Apache projects. It's a discussion topic that came up last week
while I was at Apachecon. My understanding is that we don't have any current
strategies in place so I think it could be good to look at gathering some ideas
about how to tackle the problem and also hear about any lessons learned from
any previous or similar strategies.
What do people think?
Thanks
Sharan
