Description:

markdown

Last year at LCA 2011, Mary Gardiner asked for a show of hands in response to the question “who has heard that women are underrepresented in open source?” Unsurprisingly, almost everybody had. But many people’s knowledge stops there, particularly when it comes to attempts to change this. It can feel like nothing is changing, that there’s a lot of talk and no action. However, there are increasingly vibrant, active and successful initiatives to involve or further include women in open source and technology.

This talk will present a survey of groups of and for women in open technology and culture, and their success stories. What is the current state of women in open source, open data, Wikipedia, and similar areas worldwide?  How many women are involved and what are they doing?  Who's working to increase the participation of women and how?  How can you help? We’ll introduce you to women learning about, and leading, open technology and culture in groups and projects as far-flung as LinuxChix’s chapter in Brazil, Python workshops in Boston, and Wikichix meetups at Wikimania conferences around the world.

This talk will be jointly presented by Valerie Aurora and Mary Gardiner of the Ada Initiative.
