Re: [gnome-women] gnome women webpage

[Máirín Duffy <mairin gmail com>]

Hi Diana & All,

I think we all need to have a discussion about the specific goals we'd
like to achieve and tailor the website towards supporting that.

My thoughts were that the website, at the least, should serve as sort
of a professional-looking "business card" that we could advertise to
say university comp sci depts to try to recruit more women.

Bios I agree are also important; we should make it really easy for
people to contact us, making our irc names and email addys visible, as
well as our time zones and areas of specialty. :).

I think in the meantime though, while we are sorting out and defining
our goals, we could work on a logo. I think the most popular idea is
to emulate the debian-women venus logo, incorporating the gnome "G"
foot rather than the debian swirl. There have been ideas involving
"making up" the foot, e.g. nail polish, toe rings, lipstick, etc., and
I think a lot of them could be cute, but I'm worried about such logos
conveying the wrong idea about the project. We want to be taken
seriously, bottom-line.
