[Minutes] [2016-07-18] Fedora Women Day - Diversity and Inclusion in
Tech - Thessaloniki, Greece
by Justin W. Flory
Hi all!
Fair warning that there isn't much to read in these minutes as I joined
late and had some connection issues at first hearing what was being
said. I tried to get what I could, but there will be more info (reports,
etc.) coming soon about the event. :)
Thanks again to all of the organizers involved for this event and all
the others happening in the past weekend!
There will be another opportunity to participate tomorrow in
#fedora-diversity for the FWD in Albania. This will be taking place
around 17:00 UTC! More details will be known closer to the event, but
there are plans to hopefully have a Google Hangout for the event.

Women in Fedora List?
by Joe Brockmeier
Hey all,
This came to my attention today:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Women#Know_Our_Existing_Women_Contributors
It looks like it was compiled by one or two folks. I'm curious if
we've thought about whether the women listed here _want_ to be
identified specifically as a "woman in Fedora" or if having a
convenient list of women in the project is a Good Idea(TM) since
diversity efforts seem to be a magnet for trolls.
I would be a little chagrined if we had a list like this used against
us to harass people. Is this wise to have a pre-compiled list when the
individuals who are listed were not consulted first?
Thanks,
jzb

I am not sure whether we will be able to manage the video (we are
looking for a DSLR ) and then on the recording question we will need
to get approval from each speaker.
