UW web page

Things to add to the website can be :

• Links to documentation written by women.
• Share country-specific conferences information to help us arrange to meet with other women in real life.

International Women's Day Activities

this event has passed for 2007 but we'd like to keep notes in mind for the next one

International Women's Day in March 8, and we have two major projects for that week

• Web presentation on "Women in Ubuntu"
  • Focus on women who work for Canonical or who are Ubuntu Members

  • Spearheaded by Yolynne and NurseGirl

• Ubuntero drive for Women
  • Help women sign up for GPG keys and sign the COC

Ideas for the Encouragement Toolkit

• What sort of advocacy do you practice?

Cultural Exchange Series

I would like to propose a series of IRC session led by different folks from the various countries where Ubuntu members live. The idea came from a discussion in LinuxChix where someone wanted to know how easy/difficult it would be for a US citizen to live/work in either New Zealand or Australia for a season. I am hoping that volunteers who are citizens or recent immigrants would lead a question and answer session about their country. I will provide a list of suggested questions but would like to leave plenty of time for questions from those in attendance. These session will take place in the #ubuntu-women channel on freenode, the first Thursday of the month. Please add your name to the list if you would like to lead a session. If you are the leader you get to set the time most convenient for you.

Suggested Questions

• What is it like for women in Tech in your country?
• What is the job market like for IT/FOSS?
• Is Ubuntu well known?
• Are foreigners allowed to work short-term? what kind of visas/permits might be needed?
• What's a reasonable budget for living?
• What do I need to know if I am traveling there but a business meeting?
