<h1>Support women participation in GNOME!</h1>

-The GNOME community strives to provide a free desktop for everyone, which certainly includes women users and contributors. Yet, GNOME has relatively few women contributors. Out of hundreds of the Google Summer of Code proposals GNOME receives each year, few, if any, proposals are from women candidates. <a href="./2006" target="_blank">The Women's Summer Outreach Program</a> that GNOME ran in 2006 showed that there are many qualified women candidates out there, but that the program needs to be targeted directly at them to make them realize that they are welcome in the Free Software community and to let them know they can make a difference.
