Thanks, I have reached out to the global fedora women contributors for the participation. As time zone is the issue to be live, so I have requested them for the recorded videos.
If remote sessions are OK then the entire country is your proverbial oyster. That is, reach out to past and existing women FOSS contributors across the country (Runa, Sinny, Suparna to name a few that I personally admire) and ask if they could do a remote session even if it were 10-minutes long. The big reason to prefer local speakers is to provide a role model closer home because that makes the story easier to relate to.
The sequence I would go for in in terms of preference would be:
- Women Fedora Contributors
- Women FOSS Contributors
- Any other fallback you prefer (videos of global Fedora/FOSS
contributors, RH employees, etc.)
Okay, will work on this.
We have already reached out to django and/or python communities. I request you to please share the contacts for colleges, I tried getting the contacts multiple times but somehow could not get it.
I personally don't have contacts in Cummins College, but I know a couple of professors from MITCOE. I'll try to find their contact information (I know I've noted it somewhere, just can't remember where) and introduce them to you. For Cummins I suggest you talk to Rupali or Soni from the RH Pune office.
Sure, thanks Siddhesh.
