<b>Subject:</b> <b>[Women-of-openstack] Women of OpenStack working session summary and next steps</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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:
</span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=5574129&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=5PuI&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Amynetwork%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1432849164634%2Ctas%3Avalerie%20aur"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Valerie
Aurora</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">, Nina Goradia, and
</span><a href="https://twitter.com/madhuramaskasky"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Madhura Maskasky</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> 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: </span><a href="http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/how-to-get-more-women-involved-in-tech-communication-leadership-and-mentors"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">http://superuser.openstack.org/articles/how-to-get-more-women-involved-in-tech-communication-leadership-and-mentors</span></a><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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:
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">1. Developing women leaders</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">2. Increasing the visibility of women in the OpenStack community</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">3. Mentorship</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">4. Building a strong communications channel for the Women of OpenStack</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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:
</span><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nu_0EperGdXIQifmjHiNVuB2RJb-5bVJkB9oRT-ExVw/edit#gid=0"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nu_0EperGdXIQifmjHiNVuB2RJb-5bVJkB9oRT-ExVw/edit#gid=0</span></a><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Let me know if you have any questions, I am definitely looking forward to continuing the conversation ...
