| UbuntuWomen is a group functioning under Ubuntu to provide a platform and encouragement for women to contribute to Ubuntu-Linux, a free and open-source GNU/Linux software. Primarily, it aims to create a space for Women who want to be involved in different areas like technical translation, coding, bug triaging, testing, etc.. under the aegis of Ubuntu-devel to finally blend with the main Ubuntu-Linux team. Membership is open to ALL. | * Project Website: [[http://women.ubuntu.com]] * [[http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=76|Forum]] * [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-women|Launchpad]] * [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-women|Mailing List]] * [[http://planet.ubuntu-women.org/|Planet]] |

| * Create a pool of women developers who can write code and help develop software for Ubuntu. * Busy upstream developers or package owners may not have time or inclination to mentor women newbies. UbuntuWomen members can liason/redirect them to the appropriate person to be contacted. * It will help women newcomers discuss application development, testing, and bug triaging via mailing lists and redirect them, answer questions, provide information when required. * Programming is highly development-oriented and the vagaries of each distro in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOSS FLOSS] makes it even more difficult in terms of identifying a problem in "X" application, and knowing how to 'fix' it. * Sometimes you may know or have a vague idea of the packages (the dependency hell, ...) but are still unsure which source files can be modified or how it may affect other applications. * The code of conduct already being followed at Ubuntu will make it easier for interested women to join and not fear of being flamed or ridiculed for asking so-called silly questions. |

| * Increase the diversity ratio by creating an atmosphere for women to communicate openly and share their Ubuntu experiences, problems and how they overcame those to achieve their goals. * Its main role will be along the lines of supplementing and being the stepping stone toward the larger Ubuntu-Linux world. * Encourage women to participate and learn to create new FLOSS software (or revamp existing ones) and not just restrict their skills to using GNU/Linux software. * Transcend the technical barrier which will empower women to create new software and think out-of-the-box. * Provide a platform for a mentee to learn new technical skills resulting in more effective contribution to Ubuntu. * Encourage and increase the participation of women using Ubuntu-Linux in a country specific manner by sponsoring their talks at local universities, LUG's and schools which will encourage others to join. * Discuss, collaborate and find solutions to any issues regarding all of the above. |
