Re: GNOME Summer Planet?




I just knew today about http://planet.gnome.org/wsop2006/ - wonderful!

Is it too late for a GNOME Summer Planet joining the feeds from
http://planet.gnome.org/wsop2006/ and http://planet.gnome.org/soc2006/ ?

WSOP is not the same than SoC, so I guess the feeds can't be mixed under
any SoC label. Adding the boys to WSOP would be strange as well. But
having boys and girls students separate has a reminiscence...

Instead, having a planet for all of the students together with no gender
distinction would fit better in the aim of the WSOP project and our
willingness to integrate minorities etc.

The women should be in the regular SOC planet, and eventually all the
SOP/WSOPs should find their way onto the regular planet.

But for a while we also need a WSOP planet with just the women. This
creates a women-only community which is necessary in the short term so
that women can build a critical mass on their own terms, and to advertise
the presence of women to other women.

Hopefully the WSOP bloggers will consolidate their contributions to the
GNOME project and will keep blogging about it, so they can reach Planet
GNOME and start balancing the gender statistics: just 1 (?) woman in 166
feeds.
