====== Outreach Program for Women talk ======

Last Saturday (2013-05-11), I gave a talk about [[https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen|Outreach Program for Women]] (OPW) at the Ubuntu Party [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CatalanTeam/Activitats/RaringRingtail|Festa Raring Ringtail]]. I was invited to give this talk because I'm one of the coordinators of this program in [[http://wiki.debian.org/OutreachProgramForWomen|Debian side]]. 

This was a small talk and was split in three parts. During the first part I talked about the problem in general: lack of women in technology world. In the second part I talked about the paradox that there are even less women in FLOSS, giving Debian as an example: a very wonderful project, where techie (or non-techie) women should be in love with (at least I am!), has only [[http://blog.zouish.org/posts/dw/|about 1.6% of women DD]]. The last part was focused in OPW itself, the successful experience of GNOME with an increasing number of women in their organization and how the program works.

I hope that women attendees will think about applying to OPW or collaborating actively in FLOSS :-)
