  1. Fedora Welcomes Women to FOSS

    · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the ladies-first dept. · 339 comments
    nman64 writes "The Fedora Project, the project behind the Fedora Core Linux distribution, has introduced Fedora Women, a program to reach out to women who are interested in using and contributing to Fedora Core. This follows in the footsteps of LinuxChix, Debian Women, and Ubuntu Women and is part of a larger trend to support women in the FOSS world. At present, women are believed to make up only about 1.5% of the FOSS community. Is that finally set to change?"

    dria writes "The Open Source Writers Group (OSWG) is a project started to help writers find OS projects for which they can volunteer, and to help OS projects find the writers they need. Writers and editors who are willing and able to volunteer their efforts similarly find it difficult to identify OS projects that need them. This indicates a communications gap that must be addressed. The OSWG project has been created to help fill that gap. " I think we all realize that the Open Source world needs more of this-we've got a some rough edges, and people like this are needed.
