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 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.
The training is led by experienced community members.
Sessions are open to everybody, regardless of gender or previous involvments in the community.
