FOSSASIA 2011 Tracks

b) Women in IT

While most Open Source and Free Software projects are based in Western countries there is an increasing number of projects from Asia. Women are also becoming a stronger force in the IT community. The FOSSASIA team strongly encourages the participation of young women and achieved this goal with an astounding participation of women in 2009 and 2010 – more than half of all attendees were women. How can we make this trend sustainable and support the flow of women into the technology companies?
