[Wiltshire] [Fwd: [ubuntu-uk] New network for women advocating, using or developing FLOSS]

[Dianne Reuby]

In case there are any other interested women.

We're in the throes of setting up 'Flossie' as a space for women who're 
involved in FLOSS in any way - especially advocacy. We're hoping this 
will help us to co-ordinate our advocacy activities a bit better and 
share what works.

We'll be kicking off with an event in November in London so we can have 
a chance to meet and get to know each other a bit and anyone who wants 
to help out with that is very welcome.

The (half-done) blog is here: http://www.flossie.org/

I'm afraid it's women-only - not from any will to exclude just under 
half the human race but just cos we can't include one guy and not 
another - so, given that we're less than 3% of the FLOSS population, 
we'd most likely end up with another space where we're a tiny minority. 
It's just a confidence-building thing and not intended to be divisive :)

All women welcome, technical genius not required.

Have a great weekend,
Paula
