Group:Women's Caucus

What is the Women's Caucus? The Women's Caucus is an initiative started by the Free Software Foundation to increase women's participation in the free software movement. Current caucus projects include: providing resources for projects and organizations wishing to improve their recruitment and retention of women, raising the profile of women who are currently participating in the promotion, improvement or development of free software, and bringing free software to girls and young women. Join! The Caucus is interested in developing and adapting tactics for use in all different kinds of free software projects all over the world. Please join us at our monthly meetings (in #glofs on freenode.net on the 4th Tuesday of each month, at 2:30 EST) or start your own more local group and keep in touch. You can also help us by providing feedback on how our recommendations have worked at your project, sharing our resources with friends and colleagues or translating materials so we can share them more widely.
