Hi Everyone,<br><br>I've been in this group for quite a while. I am looking for F/OSS community for women in our country. Do you know of any group or is any Filipina here interested to start one? I saw the announcement from the Women in Java community and I just felt an urge to ask if there is also an existing group here.
<br><br>As of now, I only know of 5 women programmer and most of them are not aware of F/OSS at all. I wish to educate them because it is a beautiful world but I am also a newbie at it. I learned about linux and F/OSS in general when I attended a seminar last 2006 and our company installed linux as our OS. That's how I began. My other coworkers are still using windows so I do not know how to open this up but most of our tools are open source. In our team, I am the one of the most who have experience so I could not really come to them for help, it is them who come to me. We are working remotely so we really do not meet each other. We meet once a year when there is a big company event because most of us are working far from each other. It would also be welcoming if I know more women involve in IT in our place. I wish I am not alone who is looking for this group.
<br><br>Any ideas/help would be appreciated.<br><br>Thanks!<br>~ pink<br clear="all"><br>
