I will see what can be done. 0. I am seeing a lack of direction (apart from inactivity) at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Women 1. The goal of improving collaboration within Fedora is definitely sensible, but we need to look beyond. 2. Initiatives within Fedora : A FAS group will be useful. 3. If we need to reach out/ expand free s/w network then apart from s/w related aspects we need to look at other avenues. 4. Different regions and cultures of oppression exist. We need to address them differently. 5. A Fedora distribution (or any spin) is not customized for any group of people: by way of themes, information (that go beyond documentation). Can we have spins that address a. rights including things like the s/w in http://www.huridocs.org/research-development/ and related customization. b. lack of basic knowledge among people that lead to social evils. c. Other kinds of basic knowledge that can empower people. This is going beyond the education spins. and free software that provide the same (instead of dumping entire Wikipedia / links on people). (that is some work) 6. There are innumerable rights to be fought for and rights are a way of reaching out to people. Events will keep happening ... but there should be different kinds of events.

Hosting of WFS-India, etc
by A. Mani 17 May '13

A new free software group : Women in Free Software and Culture has recently been formed. Our current page is at wfs-india.dreamwidth.org We have a new domain: wfs-india.in Will it be possible for Fedora to host the new site of wfs-india? I also notice that Fedora-women is pretty inactive. Some arrangement may be helpful for both. We have a big on-line event set for 15th June.
