@caitling I think there are lots of reasons why women don't participate in FOSS projects (and each reason will be unique to that individual). I think we need to start looking forward to find new ways to encourage women into being comfortable using software instead of focusing on where the problems have been in the past. For example: there are lots of jobs available now to work on open source projects. It's no longer just a hobby!! 3 years ago Reply
Seems like another reason women may not participate in open source projects as much is simply the time -- after work, there's child care and everything else -- so pro bono work is less possible. Are there ways to participate in smaller chunks that don't require hours at a stretch? 3 years ago Reply
any chance this could be converted into a slidecast by adding audio and synching it... that would add the context.. would make it far more compelling as well 3 years ago Reply
