Re: More women in key positions ?

[Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>]

Thanks Mehdi and Gregely for your answers.

Indeed, given the low number of women involved in Debian it is unsurprising to
not see any of them in the list of past and present Project leaders and
Technical comittee members.

This said, I was thinking that being proactive may send a strong message on
Debian's openness to women.

Given the role of the Project leader in appointing members of the technical
committee, one possibillity would be to delay appointments of new members
until the technical committee recommends at least one woman.

For the Project leader position, there less possibility of direct action, but
one of them would be to not seek for re-appointment if there are women running
for the election with a good platform.

Have a nice week-end.
