Debian Women Training Sessions

This page of the wiki discusses both future and past training sessions organised by the Debian Women project.

The aim of this initiative is to encourage more people, particularly women, to contribute to Debian while introducing them to different aspects of the Debian Project.

The training is led by experienced community members and provides useful information for people new to Debian, as well as helping more experienced Debian members brush up on their skills or improve their skill set. Particular emphasis is however given to the trainee.

The sessions are open to all who wish to attend, of whatever age, gender or experience level. The Debian Women project expects attendees behave in a respectful manner to each other and to please bear in mind minors might be present.

The training sessions are always held on our IRC channel, #debian-women on irc.debian.org, where female attendees, both trainee and experienced, can be assured the same respect as their male counterparts within the Debian community.

Questions can be asked and are encouraged, but, please, do not ask them in the main #debian-women channel. Please do ask them in the separate question channel, #dw-question. Your question will then join a queue with others and be presented to both the trainer and the main channel one by one. The use of #dw-question in this manner reduces disruption to the main channel and allows the trainer to be organised when answering questions.

Sessions are open to everybody, regardless of gender or previous involvments in the community.

Training session dates and times will be announced here and in the #debian-women channel. Any times stated will be UTC unless stated otherwise.

The language of the training sessions is English. Please note the sessions are logged: you can find the logs in a subdirectory of here.

Please add your requests for training sessions, or indicate your willingness to conduct a training session here
