About OWF-GED

OWF-GED (Open World Forum - Gender Equality and Diversity) is a workgroup aiming to set up a track (conference and workshops) within the Open World Forum on the issue of diversity in Free/Libre/Open Source Software communities.

The workgroup is open to anyone willing to participate in elaborating this track.

For the 2010 edition, the workgroup will focus on women in FLOSS communities, as we consider women to be the cornerstone of diversity. For further editions the workgroup shall more broadly consider the diversity issue (younger/older contributors, non-technical profiles...).

2010 Objectives

The conference “Gender Equality and Diversity” will be held during Open World Forum 2010, which is an international event focused on the open source area.

This conference will showcase gender approach from across the Open Source area. Focusing on the need to work across Open Source gender diversity.

Potential topics discussed at the conference might include, but are not limited to, issues like the following :

  • Discrimination against women in IT or educational issue ?
  • Less women in Open Source than in IT ?

Gender Equality and Diversity

Social Summit
Open Women conference at the OWF

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


Debate on the topics

Questions:

  • is there a discrimination against women in IT or a problem with 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 (code) contributions are more valued than non technical - but still essential - contributions 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 means of emancipation

Why?
education
stereotypes lead to the creation of a men's world where the lack of diversity tends to encourage the development of a mono-culture. Few women -> less women (problem of critical mass)
