Re: [gnome-women] Call for presentations: Women's mini-conference at linux.conf.au 2007

Hi all,

I am working on Govt. funded project and being a woman with small kid have been playing very crucial role in ICT development in India, so have lots of things to share and discuss with all of you.

Unfortunately it won't be possible for me to attend the event without full financial support :-(

Probably I would be missing an opportunity.....
