Re: Interested in participating in Women in FLOSS @ EuroOSCON

It went pretty well, I think.  We ran out of time again (I always try  
to turn these into roundtables instead of panels, and the audience  
gets excited to participate and then we run out of time...but there's  
a method to my madness.  I'm trying to get O'Reilly to start  
scheduling 1/2 day "mini-summit" bookings for this topic at future  
conferences).

Here are a couple of blogs about how it went (some can be  
babblefished)...

I've also done two interviews as a result of the session, so keep an  
eye out (one in Germany and one in the UK).
