sorry, maybe I needed a bit more of context; LATAM situation with
female participation is kind of new in what the rest of the world is.
This topic is very complex in nature. First most of us are related to
technology which means that we have some level of income. The difference
from urban to rural are really abismal in much countries. Some time just
across neighborhoods. Some clueless NGO are talking about female
empowerment when people are struggling for food, so what we will address
in such context with free software.
I have high hopes for OLPC project, but again what children are
obtaining from having a XO is very different from urban to rural.
There are some things that we also forget, line of time. When I went to
college, was long time ago. When I go to colleges now to speak about
Fedora, ratio female-male it is different from old days. Free software
are usually start ups that are built on spare time that most likely
women does not have because they are supporting their family in house
work.
Most important we are speaking about average, that does not meant that
are that were fostered in a way that they did not grow with this
female-male dichotomy. So you can find very sensitive concerned males
about this issue. And also you can find overconfident females that
dismiss this issue.
I will like to have issues like this on ambassador list. What we will
accomplished as ambassadors if we don't learn how better engage with our
audience. How to be sensitive to some topics and never give them for
granted.
