Hello world,
I have been talking with several people in Mexico, as I have long
wanted to bring to our country a MiniDebConf in the spirit of the ones
held at Barcelona or Bucharest.
I am including in full at the end of my mail the last mail I received
from Estrella, a member of Rancho Electrónico¹, a hackerspace that
hosts many different activities of all kinds focused on social change
through user consciouness and action. Of course, her mail is in
Spanish, but it basically asks what is this MiniDebConf about, how was
my experience in it, what would be expected from them as the local
organizing team, as a basis for them to discuss whether to adopt the
project. And believe me, once the Rancherxs adopt a project... We have
a high expectation of huge success :)
Answering to Estrella's questions: My experience so far has been with
the general DebConf organization; a MiniDebConf is focused by topic,
geographic region, or similar criteria. In this case, the main focus
of the MiniDebConf is (quoting):
• Encourage women who haven't yet given their first DebConf talk
• Provide role models for women who are interested in
contributing
• Debunk the myth that there are not enough women who can
give talks in DebConf
The idea behind the conference is not to talk about women in free
software, or women in debian, but rather to make discussion about
Debian subjects more inclusive for women.
For this specific topic, I cannot say I have any experience,
but I can suggest you visit the Barcelona 2014² or Bucharest 2015³
MiniDebConf sites.
So, if this sticks, we are in for a *lot* of work. And I will be more
than happy to work with you.
