[IndiChix] Tania's project etc.

[Tea Beedi]

Hi all,

Just my +1 to support Tania's project, agree with Gayathri's  
suggestions, and to move away from the chix semantics thread :

On these lines, and along with TAnia, I would be interested in  
starting/ continuing/ joining a small group of people interested in  
this topic, and as Vid suggested, taking it offline , + maybe  
starting a wiki for collaboration, etc., and meeting up in bangalore  
as/ when possible. I have a few other friends who are interested too  
but none of us has actually put the time into setting up a site for  
collaboration yet [much talk, no walk :)] There are lots of FOSS  
discussion lists etc out there but the women's / feminist focus is  
more rare. [That's why I think Indichix is so great.] Lots more to  
explore about chix semantix but will save it for this more particular  
offline discussion, as there are more immediate tasks at hand:

Yes - in fact many people at the foss.in discussion mentioned to me  
that there are more women (in the indian foss community) who do  
kernel contributions, than men. is that true, and where do they get  
that statistic from (anecdotal, factual, etc?)

Think all these are great ideas,Gayathri, my support to all.
BTW I would also add that there is occasionally a good relationship  
sometimes between talk and walk... that's why discussion lists have  
been so important, if we don't talk 2 each other, it's hard to share  
opinions and take action in all our disparate locations...

ciao, K
