| === What will a separate Women's group accomplish ? === * 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. We hope to increase the diversity ratio by creating an atmosphere for women to communicate openly and ask technical questions without any fear of being flamed or ridiculed for asking so-called silly questions. * 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 ubuntu-developer lists are limited to highly technical data exchange by developers or package owners may not have time or inclination to mentor newbies. UW members can provide information pertaining to application development, testing, and bug triaging and redirect them to the correct mailing lists or Mentors willing to share their knowledge. * 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. * 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. |
