WoMoz Working Sessions at FOSDEM (update)

Women & Mozilla will be holding two brainstorming workshops in Brussels (Belgium) on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of February, on the side of the FOSDEM event.

The main goal of these workshops will be to establish a 2010 Roadmap for the WoMoz project.

A daily agenda has been established for both workshops. The various items contained in the two daily agendas will be subject to discussion during the sessions. By the end of the week-end, we should have defined our roadmap for the year and determined how to achieve these 2010 goals – our main and number 1 goal being to increase the number of women contributors in Mozilla, and by extension in FLOSS.

Discussions will be held in a more informal way and we encourage attendees to participate actively during the brainstorming.  The workshops will be open to all (men are welcome to participate, as in all WoMoz activities).

On Sunday at 1:00pm Alix Cazenave and Delphine Lebédel will be holding a 10min talk in the Mozilla DevRoom in order to present WoMoz to the communities and sum up our week-end workshops.

During the Fosdem event, WoMoz will also have a section at the main Mozilla booth (with brand new badges, flyers and stickers), so don’t hesitate to drop by!  ;)

WoMoz at FOSDEM

Quick announcement:

WoMoz will be present at the FOSDEM event this year (6-7th of February 2010, in Brussels, Belgium) and holding some side sessions during the week-end. These sessions will mainly consist in brainstorming and establishing a 2010 Roadmap for the Women & Mozilla project. Both women and men are welcome to participate in these sessions if they are interested.

  • Goals of the WoMoz Gathering at FOSDEM
    • interact with women developers present at FOSDEM and encourage them to participate in the FOSDEM WoMoz sessions
    • try to draw more European developer profiles into participating and contributing in WoMoz and Mozilla
    • establish some kind of 2010 Roadmap for the WoMoz project: open a dedicated wiki page for this and start it during fosdem, in order to leave fosdem with something concrete to continue after the event
  • Proposed Topics
    • schedule still TBD exactly, so feel free to suggest any ideas for talks / discussions by sending me an email here: delphine at mozilla  dot com. We'll have a dedicated room for the sessions at least 2 hours on both Saturday and Sunday mornings to discuss these topics
    • establish a WoMoz Roadmap for 2010 and finish tying up “loose ends”
    • finish the discussion on how to get organized: who wants to do what?
    • the importance of being visible
    • ongoing projects
    • how to collaborate efficiently with other existing women's groups?
  • Propose a Topic to Discuss during the WoMoz Sessions

As the exact WoMoz schedule has not been determined yet, feel free to suggest topics you'd like to discuss then!

You can do so by either:

-  leaving a comment under this post

-  sending me an email: delphine at mozilla dot com

Thank you.

New WoMoz IRC Channel

WoMoz has moved on IRC:

we're now on #womoz on the Mozilla IRC network: irc://irc.mozilla.org/womoz

We've made this change because the channel was created before the community had actually decided of an official project name. Now it just seems absurd and confusing to stay on a #mozillawomen channel when the project is called Women & Mozilla (or WoMoz).

So this is why we've moved!
