Sounds brilliant. The session is on too late for me, but I look
forward to reading the transcript.

I really like the points you listed. If you get time, I think it might
be useful to mention how to get involved in Ubuntu-Women and maybe how
to treat/support women in the FOSS community (okay, maybe that's a bit
difficult to cover in a few lines on IRC)?
