Better suggestion - why don't one of you give a talk?  I for one would
like to hear about initiatives in-place (not just in Gnome-Women but all
other Open Source and technology groups) and the reasons for needing
such initiatives.  A brief overview of the history of woman in
technology and their contributions to Gnome (direct or indirect) and why
it is so important that we keep encouraging these contributions would be
very informative.

If anything I encourage you do the 5 minute speed talk but a full length
talk would be even better.
