Lenovo T450s; Fedora 24 and keyboard backlight
by sankarshan 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

The keyboard backlight on my T450s seems to light up on interrupts. Fn+Spacebar turns it off again. However, that is a somewhat irksome thing. What should I be doing to ensure that the backlight is turned on when I choose to? On Fedora 23 this was never an issue. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://twitter.com/#!/sankarshan>

My suggestions: - Have people come up and speak on opportunities for women in the Fedora Project (and open source in general) - Showcase contributions by women in Fedora - Talk about this new Diversity group and how it'll help - Try to get college people (women profs, women students) attend the event - Collectively, I think we have contacts at MIT Pune, SICSR, COEP, Indira Instt of Tech -- there should be more that I forget / don't know of. - Similarly, talk to other women in our circles working close by in Magarpatta to check if they can come attend / talk if they have open source experience. It'll be great if proceedings are recorded in some way - video or text transcriptions, so that the message reaches a much wider audience than the one that's participating physically. Also, I expect most presenters to be male; will this send out a confusing message? Or, are there women members who can step up to the challenge and prepare material before the sessions? It's always better to have people who have done stuff talk about it rather than just highlighting someone else's achievements -- so hopefully this serves as a good launchpad for local women to actually start doing something so the next year's event is much better. > Waiting for more feedback from others on the thread :) BTW the Ambassadors won't be able to come up with budget, so if you need any, it'll be better to get the site team involved.
