Opening doors to open source for women (IT Manager's Journal)
IT Manager's Journal has some tips for
women who want to get involved in open source software. "Pia
Waugh, president of Software Freedom International, says finding a way to
get involved in the community is the first step, and there are several
avenues available. "I think some of the women initiatives, such as Debian
Women, GNOME Women, Fedora Women, and Ubuntu Women, are great ways to start
getting involved. [Women] can find great mentors there, information, and it
gives them a launch pad into the wide world of FOSS. These organisations
don't segment our community, they give yet another road in, and the more
roads we give people to getting involved, the more people will follow
them."
