Fedora Women is central to this effort for increasing diversity.
However, to get an understanding of our current strengths and weaknesses - we’re going to
need hard data about our community, its composition, and their priorities and interests,
so that we can test hypotheses, and then create and execute a strategy. A good start in
this direction seems like adding your FAS details to the list of existing women
contributors in Fedora on the Fedora Women Wiki page - which has just eight women
contributors listed currently !

I have added my name, though I am not that involved with Fedora these days.
There are issues with Ubuntu women too (am a leader and in the know).
I made a google+ women only GNU/Linux community. That is fairly active
with 180+ members.
It is very important to blend it activities. ... with credits/mini-conferences.
Many women don't understand how foss work can be used to boost their own career.
It is important to allocate resources and advertise it ... otherwise
nobody is going to know.
