Thanks, I have reached out to the global fedora women contributors
for the
participation. As time zone is the issue to be live, so I have requested
them for the recorded videos.
If remote sessions are OK then the entire country is your proverbial
oyster. That is, reach out to past and existing women FOSS
contributors across the country (Runa, Sinny, Suparna to name a few
that I personally admire) and ask if they could do a remote session
even if it were 10-minutes long. The big reason to prefer local
speakers is to provide a role model closer home because that makes the
story easier to relate to.
The sequence I would go for in in terms of preference would be:
1. Women Fedora Contributors
2. Women FOSS Contributors
3. Any other fallback you prefer (videos of global Fedora/FOSS
contributors, RH employees, etc.)
We have already reached out to django and/or python communities.
I request you to please share the contacts for colleges, I tried getting the
contacts multiple times but somehow could not get it.
I personally don't have contacts in Cummins College, but I know a
couple of professors from MITCOE. I'll try to find their contact
information (I know I've noted it somewhere, just can't remember
where) and introduce them to you. For Cummins I suggest you talk to
Rupali or Soni from the RH Pune office.
