Subject:	Command and Presence Workshop (2.5 hrs.) for Women at Tokyo,
            first come first served



Hello Ladies!
A while back Jessica (IBM) had written to brainstorm on what we could offer
the Women-of-OpenStack at Tokyo.
Intel has been running for some years a  “Command and Presence” Workshop
internally and graduates leave with some winning learnings.

      ·         Designed to improve confidence while presenting at
      technical review meetings (think:  design summits, technical
      committees, internal justifying work and resources meetings)
      It simulates challenging dynamics (think: cross-industry,
      cross-project priorities, and responses that seem dismissive/my-way
      or no way.
      Helps them gain visibility and respect
      ·         Developed by some brilliant women,  tested and tuned over 4
      years, with help from male allies in role playing and post-analysis

With great pleasure Intel would like to bring this to the Women of
OpenStack.
First come first served basis, Maximum: 24 people. 2.5 hours long. Monday
before the summit kicks off.  Free.
Please respond if interested with:
Name: First Last
Email:
Company:
Openstack Projects of interest:                (helps to gauge who to
invite for challenge environment)
Current Role:
Goal:   (what you would like to take away)
Preference: Monday morning or afternoon

Please reply to Ruchi Bhargava (ruchi.bhargava at intel.com) and
                            Malini Bhandaru (malini.k.bhandaru at intel.com)

Before I graduated from Command-and-Presence, still relatively new at
Intel, I would try to go to a meeting SUPER PREPARED, to anticipate every
question and be able to answer it.
There is no such thing when you are working at the edge and innovating.
Walked away with a tool –“Action Required(s) items”, tasks, ones that you
will follow up post meeting and update/circle back.
Regards
Ruchi and Malini

Subject: [Women-of-openstack] Women of OpenStack working session summary
and next steps


Thanks for everyone who was able to join us at the Women of OpenStack
working session on May 19. A special thanks to our lightening talk
speakers: Valerie Aurora, Nina Goradia, and Madhura Maskasky for sharing
their experiences and inspiring our group discussions. If you have not
already seen the article, Allison Price from the OpenStack Foundation has
written a great summary of working session on Superuser:
http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/how-to-get-more-women-involved-in-tech-communication-leadership-and-mentors


After summarizing the group break out sessions there are very similar
themes to what we discussed during our Paris Summit working session. Key
areas of focus include:
1. Developing women leaders
2. Increasing the visibility of women in the OpenStack community
3. Mentorship
4. Building a strong communications channel for the Women of OpenStack

Several of you have asked, "What's next?" That is really up to us. We've
heard from many of you that you want the Women of OpenStack to continue to
work together between summits to address these key issues. To help
facilitate follow-on discussions I've included several volunteer sign up
sheets in addition to a full group summary in this google drive doc:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nu_0EperGdXIQifmjHiNVuB2RJb-5bVJkB9oRT-ExVw/edit#gid=0


The goal is for each volunteer group to come together as a team to develop
1-2 key actions they want to accomplish leading up to the Tokyo Summit.
There has already been some great progress and discussion on creating an
IRC channel which was one of our communication follow-up actions. I'm
looking forward to what this group can accomplish in the other areas as
well.

Let me know if you have any questions, I am definitely looking forward to
continuing the conversation ...
