To us we would like to provide something because we are a diverse
community and debianera , but many women are not programmers and we
thought about how to encourage . Think about our next steps in the
programming and the ability to witness and participate in a dialogue
MiniDebConf is very exciting.

How has it been for you to organize a MiniDebConf ?

We were aware of your comments.

Gracias Gunnar, hola chicxs,
sí estamos interesadxs en saber cuáles son sus expectativas y cómo
generar los nodos necesarios para realizar una actividad de este tipo.

A nosotras nos gustaría poder facilitar algo así porque somos una
comunidad diversa y debianera, hay muchas mujeres pero no somos
programadoras y  hemos pensado en cómo animarnos. Pensar en nuestros
próximos pasos en la programación y la posibilidad de presenciar y
participar en los diálogos de una minidebconf es muy emocionante.

¿cómo ha sido para ustedes la organización de una minidebconf?

Quedamos pendiente de sus comentarios.

*disculpe que no sea mejor en español :D
