GNOME Outreach Program for Women Internships

Why is GOPW so awesome

✔Inspired by Google Summer of Code✔Motive - balancing the gender ratio of the community✔Removes the fear of competing in a field “not meant for women” and with men who are stereotyped as “technical”.✔Cleaning up the community- http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Women_in_Open_Source http://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct

✔Opening opportunities to work from home for women.

How can we create maximum awareness about it

➔Email invitations to the past year participants➔Create Google groups➔Get advertisements posted on feeds and blogs outside the GNOME world but with a large technical audience➔Getting more supporters of GNOME and be open to receive support in non-monitory ways focusing on outreach and increasing mutual recognition

Time for some action?

●Leave/Join Chat, /part command●/nick command works only for accounts supporting it●Save all button in Debug Window●Contact blocking and report abuse(which I re-based for Danielle)●Account Manager could not be contacted- runtime error display dialog

Let's see live demonstrations of some of my branches (some are not

yet merged upstream)-
