Re: [Debconf-team] Motivate woman contributors



Hello Gunnar Wolf,

Thanks for replay

Maybe you would prefer having a local Israeli to make it a closer
experience? - Might be good idea to add them.

We have several Debian-related people (some developers,
some contributors) in Israel, so this might be quite achievable! Do
you want me to put them (in private mail) in contact with you? It will be grate !

Many Thanks.

Great initiative, I hope for your success here! :)
