[UbuntuWomen] International Womens Day - 8 March

[NurseGirl]

I'm wondering about focusing on women who are Ubuntu Members and staff at
Canonical? That won't include most of us, unfortunately, but it makes it
more of a contained project to try to get done in a month.

We could send them each a set of questions, and ask for a picture, and then
make apresentation that we can upload either to YouTube or (even better) to
the Ubuntu Women website.

I feel like that project could be good for several reasons:
1) Bringing attention to the contributions that women make to Ubuntu
2) Bringing attention to the Ubuntu Women website
3) Showing something simple and fun that can be made with using only open
source software.
4) Perhaps getting some of the women who are already Ubuntu Members in
contact with us, so they can be future mentors and help more of us become
regular contributers to Ubuntu.

What do people think of this idea? Are we biting off more than we can chew?
