I am very glad that the questions from the community has led to this open dialogue.  I would like to submit an abstract for Austin OpenStack on "The Many Ways We Contribute to OpenStack".  I was compelled to do a talk like this at the Linux Conference earlier this year as well because so much of the dominant conversation is around one form of contribution only and it does not recognize all the work that happens in community, marketing, legal, documentation, social media to make a project successful.  My slides and blog on this are here. http://itblog.sandisk.com/values-impact-inclusive-open-source-communities/ and it includes Anne Gentle as one woman of impact.  I did another similar blog on women at SanDisk who contribute to innovation throughout the company. That innovation does not just happen in engineering.  http://itblog.sandisk.com/innovation-at-sandisk-women-you-need-to-know/

I would love to interview women of OpenStack for this presentation and also feature you in the panel.    Ideas welcome.  Look for my request in the coming weeks.   Thank you for inspiring inclusion and speaking up.

Thank You,

Niki,

I couldn’t agree more. I get that a lot. “Wait - you’re in marketing???” And yet, most of my upstream-only colleagues at HP will agree that I do as much if not more “contributing” to OpenStack as any of them, (including my dear friend Monty). The OpenStack community has consumed my life (and much of my marketing budget) for the past 3 years. I devote countless hours to community building, as well as customer adoption of OpenStack, and unlike many other HP employees in Allison’s team (formerly Monty’s team) it’s not my actual job. So I’m more of an “OpenStack volunteer” like many of our contributors who are not currently employed by a corporation. A large number of us community members do it in our “spare time” because we’re passionate about OpenStack and community and it takes all of us to make this succeed. I personally devote 2 nights a month to run the OpenStack user group meetings for the SF Bay area (yes, our meetup runs every other Thursday!), I’ve written 2 books on OpenStack, made countless videos, flown to various regions of the globe to set up local user groups, regularly speak to customers about OpenStack adoption, and have spoken at numerous conferences all in the interest of promoting OpenStack technology. So yes, even “Marketing” people add value to OpenStack. And yes, it’s VERY annoying every time I hear those comments, which unfortunately happen all too often!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Niki. You are an extremely passionate and valuable member of our community and I thank you for all that you do! :)

Cheers,
Lisa

Maybe my view is skewed, as the majority of the men I met were technical, and it seemed that the majority of the women I met were not technical. I got the feeling that technical women were highly underrepresented at the summit. I don't know what the over-all statistics were for technical/non-technical male/female overall, but I just saw the women as a majority non-technical group, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it would leave me feeling that being a technical women puts me in much more of a minority than I thought. i.e. I was expecting to find women in a similar role to myself.
