Dear Archana & Fred,

While looking at your comments and fred's post about asiasource i'm
remembering a wonderfull discussion on FLOSS n Gender on asiasiasourse
& gender evaluation of the event.

I'm also remembering another network named grep|grrl (
http://grepgrrl.org ) , a initiative on Genter & Free software
initially started by the women working on tech/geek side of indymedia
network ( http://www.indymedia.org )

grepgrrl is an international (F, NL/RO, D, CA) group of girls who try
to promote, via documents, workshops and documentaries, the use of
free software and the appropriation of technical skills among girls.
now they are in  the steps to create video interviews with women
hackers/geeks, to produce a dvd.

survey on women in the freeSoftwareCommunity :
