I'm overdue for getting some interview questions to Chris DiBona, as 
I've mentioned a couple of times in #engagement.

I thought it would be nice to do a little interview that features a 
sponsor of both OPW and GNOME, and Chris was very happy to accommodate.

Anyway, I'm not the best at coming up with these questions (and I always 
leave off the fun ones that Flavia is really good at!) but here's an 
attempt...

Any suggestions?

Google has been a longstanding supporter of OPW and one of the first 
funders that supported the program generally (as opposed to just interns 
for a particular participating organizations). Why is it important to 
you and to Google to support the program?

As you know, OPW was in large part inspired by GSoC. We know that Google 
is doing its own outreach to include women and other underrepresented 
groups in GSoC and Google Code-In - what have you found to be the most 
effective?

Marina and Karen have both appeared in a Google Women Techmaker series 
to talk about OPW, which was a great platform to spread the word about 
the program. What kinds of initiatives do you think we'll see in the 
future?

Google has been a member of GNOME's advisory board for quite a while 
(thank you!), what do you like best about GNOME (or GNOME technologies)?
