Did you know the Women of OpenStack isn't just for people who identify as
female, but allies as well? Well now you do and we're looking for new
members!

Our mission statement is:

The Women of OpenStack strive to lower the barrier of entry to OpenStack
learning and use, intending to thereby increasing the overall diversity of
the OpenStack community, recognizing that individuals in minority groups
are more likely to have challenges accessing resources to learn complex
technologies. Secondly, the Women of OpenStack provides a professional and
social networking group for women, and their allies, with common interests
in OpenStack, OpenSource, and associated technologies. These goals are
achieved through leading and sponsorship of educational sessions and social
events that promote inclusion in the OpenStack Community.

We follow this mission by sponsoring ongoing Mentoring throughout the year
and through the Speed Mentoring and Lunch and Learns which are held during
summit as well as other activities through the year.
