Ubuntu Women Project Competition Volunteers to help build questions and write up rules for competition Questions should be women in computing and Ubuntu related Sample Questions: Find someone on the Ubuntu Forums that has 3 Zs in their name What is Grace Hopper known for? What was the 3rd Ubuntu release code-named? Survey what do women expect from ubuntu-women project? Are you a member? If so, why did you join? Have you taken advantage of any mentoring programs for women in FOSS? What medium do you prefer? (IRC, in person, mailing lists, forums) Do you think more pro-active mentoring is needed? Do you prefer groups with more narrow or broad focus? (Specific open source project, or all of open source) and from open source communities in general? Experience from Italian team: Tool that helps users find where to contribute Idea is to spread it out as much as possible, also outside ubuntu community itself Collaboration with Gnome/KDE project + other Ubuntu flavours, Debian Women, LinuxChix (and Systers, DevChix, CodeChix, OpenHatch, PyLadies) Had a recent IRC meeting with Karen Sandler with Gnome Outreach Program for Women, she also spoke with Jono, Flavia found a lot of value in the program (she has blogged about it : http://deindre.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/185/ ) Valorie, Miriam and Nightrose are heavily involved with KDE and can put us in touch with KDE Women (and Kubuntu?) yes Common goals?
