Minute OWF-GED – Jan, 13th With: Alix Cazenave, Marie Buhot-Launay, Marine Soroko, Véronique Torner


Name to be defined: (brainstorming) Gender Equality and Diversity Gender Summit Social Summit Open Women conference at the OWF

Date OWF : Sept 29 to Oct 2 Day dedicated to “Open Society”


1-Debate on the topics:

Questions: is there a discrimination against the women in IT or a problem of less women studying IT? Difference between IT and floss: why? Problem of time invested in work? Because it is more technical? Pb of meritocracy? Technical contributions are more considered than non technical contribution where we will find more women (design, documentation, …) And yet, women are more attracted by team work than men Question: who is more contributing to Wikipedia? more women in IT in developing countries: Maghreb, India – maybe because IT is considered as a mean of emancipation


Why? education stereotypes lead to the creation of a man world with its own code  less women (problem of critical mass)



2- Discussion about the conference format

Organisation of the conference: 1 day : Morning: conference, roundtable Lunch: networking with other conference (human factors, CIO summit) Afternoon: workshops

Content:

1- diagnosis of the situation: OWF Polls results testimony from a CIO (man or woman) synthesis of different studies

2- best practices Women association among communities (ex Ubutuntu women, Debian Women) Women association in IT: Girls in Tech, Webgirls, Cyberelles Policies made by trade association (Syntec, Intellect, Bitkom…), Government? (European Commission? Others?) In communities: Mozilla: more consideration to non technical contribution Ubuntu: openness to feed-back from the contributors (even non technical), users  openness to non technical profiles In companies: testimony from companies with mixed teams (added value: more team work on projects, with clients) Women Equity


3- proposed solutions more consideration for non technical contributions to give IT lessons to everyone at schools more openness from communities debate: quotas or not quotas?

4-Workshops to be defined later More open to other discrimination
