[OSGeo-Discuss] new: OSGeo women mailing list

[Landon Blake]

Anne,

I hope things work out with the new mailing list. I know at least one of
the open source software projects I am involved with has discussed the
problem of encouraging the participation of more women.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] new: OSGeo women mailing list

Hello all, and sorry for cross-posting,

Wolf Bergenheim and I are happy to announce the creation of OSGeo-women,
a new mailing list dedicated to discussion around women in OSGeo
projects. The idea is born as a collaboration with Systers, the world's
largest email community of technical women in computing [0].

Discussions will focus on OSGeo members who wish to involve more women
in OSGeo projects. Any input for discussion and sharing of ideas as well
as project collaboration is welcome, as well as successful case
studies. 
The list is opened to OSGeo members of either gender.

best regards,

Anne Ghisla and Wolf Bergenheim
