Open Stack

I agree, while there was a record number of women attendees , I was disappointed by the low number of women technical contributors! At least 50% of the women I met were in non-technical roles. 

I did meet some great people there, but I was expecting many more female ATCs, when there was a big fuss about the large number of women attending.

Regards,
Emma

I would like to suggest an agenda item for next week's meeting .  When I retweeted the Women of OpenStack picture, I got a number of questions on how many of the women in OpenStack are developers contributing code.  They want role models in the community.
 Bitergia is a company that OpenStack foundation uses to create the stats behind "the state of OpenStack".  Why not work with them on getting more information on women contributing patches to the various projects.     I would like to suggest we discuss this next time.

Beth, Carol and Jessica - thanks again for your leadership and all the work that the foundation does - Claire and others to make this a thriving community.
