Hey all,
A few of the local Fedora ambassadors and event organizers for FWD Pune event met this morning for a quick discussion on the proposed event and here we have the meeting notes for everyone:
[1] Apologies that this part wasn't well explained previously but the list of talks that you see on the pirate pad, mainly under the
'Getting Started with your Fedora contribution' section are going to be flash talks for 5 mins each. Since we couldn't find existing female contributors in all of these different contribution pathways, to share their experience with us; a group of volunteers decided to try finding out details about these different contribution pathways, how to get started, the related IRC channels and mailing lists for each and finally give a 5 min presentation about their findings. This can save the rest of the audience's effort to do a complete research on the different contribution pathways (which is often the first barrier in contribution) and they should have most of the data at hand to now go back and start contributing. The FWD event was also thought of as a first step to initiating a consistent women contributor community, where each month we could take up one of these contribution pathways and make it as the flavor of the month...doing some actual hands-on contribution together for that chosen project or pathway. This can probably even be clubbed with the monthly Fedora meetups that we have in Pune. That ofcourse can be discussed in more details with the local ambassadors.
