  I'm sitting here at the CATS (Cascadia Anarchist Technical Skillshare)
conference in Vancouver.  In attendance are people from Seattle,
Portland, and San Francisco.  There are one or two Debian developers 
here; most of the demonstrations so far have been on Debian boxes.

  There are seventeen people here, four of whom are women.  (In case 
it's not clear to some or all I am a man.)

  I've mentioned the D-W scene to a couple people who I thought would 
find it valuable.  Actually I think I will take a minute to announce it
to the whole group.

  Today I learned of a couple scenes that may be of interest to D-W:

  http://http://eclectictechcarnival.org and
  http://etc.genderchangers.org/

  I wish I could go.
