[ubuntu-women] Happy Women's Day :)

Hello All,

More to the point, I'll take the opportunity to introduce myself. I 
manage TheOpenCD project [1], which is a sister project of Ubuntu and is 
primarily focused on increasing awareness of open source (via the 
Windows platform in that particular case). I'm also president of 
Software Freedom International, organisers of Software Freedom Day [2].  
We have seen a strong involvement of women FOSS activists in organising 
events around the world, esp. successful were the Danish and Australian 
teams headed up by Sidsel Jensen and Pia Waugh, respectively.

For the Ubuntu project I design and maintain various websites and 
assemble the Windows apps on the Live CD. I'm preparing a collection of 
example content for the next release [3] (suggestions are still welcome) 
and also lead the Accessibility Team.

It seems I've also ended up being a co-moderator of this list, though I 
think I will mostly be lurking. But feel free to contact me with 
questions about any of the above.

- Henrik
