#use wml::debian::template title="About Debian Women"
<p>
The Debian Women project was founded in May 2004. We seek to balance
and diversify the Debian Project by actively engaging with interested
women and encouraging them to become more involved with Debian. We will
promote women's involvement in Debian by increasing the visibility of
active women, providing mentoring and role models, and creating
opportunities for collaboration with new and current members of the
Debian Project. We welcome the involvement of all people who are
interested in increasing the participation of women in Debian.
</p>
<p>
Our activities include the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Running a <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-women">mailing
list</a> for discussion of related issues.</li>
<li>
Running an IRC channel for discussion of related issues, technical
questions and to allow women who are interested in contributing to
Debian to meet each other and some of Debian's current contributors.
See the <a href="$(WOMEN)/contact">contact</a> page for
more information on our IRC channel.
</li>
<li>
Organising BOF discussions at Linux conferences, to promote
discussion of issues facing women and their involvement in Debian
and Linux.
</li>
<li>
Giving talks at conferences, universities, LUGs and schools.
</li>
<li>
Actively encouraging and educating the Debian community to increase
understanding of the specific issues facing women who wish to
contribute more to Debian.
</li>
</ul>
