the usual question
Hello, my name is EK.
In Mexico we are preparing the third edition of the Hackmitin (a free,
participatory event in which the dichotomy organizer / assistant is
diluted by the desire to organize the event collectively. In HM, hackers
and hacktivists work together to create a self-managed, egalitarian,
horizontal and above all free comunity.

In the two previous meetings the majority of participants were men. This
edition we hope more women participate actively in the hackmitin
community.
Some of us to have read and shared views on the "Encourage Women in Linux"

We have found that many of the obstacles to more participation of women in
technology related events are cultural. We would like to know what kind of
activities you have organized to increase the interest of women. What has
been your experience?
