Debian Women is the project to bring more women to contribute to Debian. It

now we need new ideas for things to try that may help bring more w
Hi,
Thanks Russ for raising this issue, I think it's worthy of discussion.
My feeling is that completely forbidding profanity (or whatever the right word
for it is, profanity also seems wrong) doesn't benefit DebConf.

My flight leaves on Tuesday 6 am. Which means I'll need to leave to the airport

Are there other people in similar situations? If so, we can maybe coordinate

As I already wrote in the debian-women mailing list, I'm thinking of organizing
