The Open World Forum in Paris (September 30th - October 1st) will host in this year's 2010 edition a think tank called "Open Diversity Summit: Why women matter?":

Free Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) is fundamentally changing the IT industry. It is undoubtedly a tremendous success, both in economic and social terms. However FLOSS still faces gender inequality, to an even greater extent than the wider IT industry which itself is seen as an area where discrimination is widespread. This summit will showcase approaches to tackling gender diversity from across the Open Source world.

The Gender Equality and Diversity Team (OWF-GED), of which some WoMoz members have taken part in, are proud to present these panels this year.

The entrance is free, however registration is necessary: http://www.openworldforum.org/attend/agenda/diversity-summit-why-women-matter
