I found the language quite brusque which wont help if we want to bridge the gap. Since it is about women, I am taking the liberty of providing a bug-fix below :) First a short note on why I'm rooting for a change: Like most Indian woman I too have experienced all the issues first-hand, written (erm..ranted on my blog and in IRL discussions) a lot on sexism and other issues we women face BUT all that has been limited to my blog or IRL discussions. When we are creating a poster to get more women and students involved in FOSS, it is easier to use language that is more professional and inviting. People respond better to politeness (I know, I do) than sarcasm and rudeness. We can speak the truth about women and LGBT in a friendlier, polite manner - the impact will be greater. That said, here is the patch (its not perfect, so feel free to bug-fix it): Background India being a multi-ethnic, multi-racial country, while coping with challenges of corruption and a billion (and growing) population is slowly coping with the silent half - women and the LGBT populace. India has a 5000-year history that straddles the the modern - the spectrum of a cell-phone totting farmer, a tweeting teenager, a technophile home-maker, an artistic designer, and half a billion more who are embracing technology in Planck time. And yet, this majority are still finding their voices in their struggle to retain their space while retaining basic human values within our society. Your challenge is to bring out your virtual brushes and paint away your thoughts that will pictorally depict this struggle while celebrating their diversity. Can you retain the essence of India's 5000-year history that straddles the modern world? Exercise your creative freedom with Free/Libre open source software and other technologies. Your poster may just be the inspiration that gives them a voice to fight for their rights, a vision of a better tomorrow, a tomorrow that has the freedom and space for their dreams while allowing them to remain rooted in the Indian ethos. If you have hosted the poster text on github (or any other dvcs), please point me to it so that I can make a pull request for the above. I just spent over an hour being creative in my editing (instead of the Julia workshop announcement) and its 3 am, so please be kind in your criticism. I have also tried to retain some text that talks about the social problems in a discreet manner - it alludes to problems that need solutions but does not explicitly describe it. In a country that struggles to keep the "girl child" in schools, its easy to scare them off with words like "sex education" - At some schools, parents would be up in arms over it. I also wish the rule #2 would be relaxed a bit. When I started volunteering in 2005 as a list-admin for two mailing lists at linuxchix.org, I was still using Windows on a partitioned drive. It took me a few months to ditch the dual-boot and switch over completely to Ubuntu Linux. ...and I still have never used more than half the tools listed there. So yeah, I plead ignorance to the xcf and eps formats too. Hope you can consider some of my suggestions ! Thank you ! -- svaksha ? http://svaksha.com ?

We are having a discussion there on this and > it would be great if you join that mailing list and participate in it. I just read the archives (of wfs-india) and TBH, as a woman, I would never want to speak for ALL-the-women or claim to be a "feminist", so when men do that ... *sigh* ..I find it tiresome to deal with Mansplaining (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mansplaining&t=canonical). Instead, I'll share with you what I have learned from observing female peers : * If you are a women's group (running one or building one), you want men as allies, not as decision makers: Read, if men are going to be telling you "what to do/how to think/etc.." in a women's group, its just as bad as the patriarchy they claim to protect you from. * Supporting "women" means, not intruding in their space or telling them how to think/ opine, allowing them to fail and being there to break that fall are crucial. When you observe babies learning to walk, they'd fall on the first try, but they'd still learn to walk ON THEIR OWN, in time. * Stepping back is crucial: Men (as allies), need to be open to feedback from anyone really but especially from women. Stepping-back when women opine why something makes them uncomfortable, or while she requests a change is the hallmark of receptive listening. Fwiw, this gyan was, surprisingly, given to me by two male FOSS friends and I've heard and experienced its echo with multiple male supporters who are not afraid of giving women control to run their own groups. I am still learning to be discerning with the above. Hope that helps you grow your own wings :) Goodluck ! -- svaksha ? http://svaksha.com ?

GNU/Linux or are you a kernel devel :) Some points: 'to a first world country' : that is framing with a development model in mind. half a billion Indians on Internet ..... SOURCE?. souls ... nonsense :) planck time = 5.39106(32) ? 10?44 s So very few people actually go online .... :) Cell phone adoption figures are not clear due to people having too many subscriptions. "remain rooted in the Indian ethos" ... that is condemning them to a wretched life. _________________________________ *India is a multi-ethnic, multi-racial country one billion strong and growing. The road of a developing nation is a long and arduous one, and among India's most pressing problems are official corruption and the suppression of women and the LGBT community.* * * *Though India is an ancient nation with a 5000-year history, a substantial section of its well-off people have embraced modern technicality, from cell-phone toting farmers to tweeting teenagers, technophile home-makers to artistic designers, and more who are coming online, communicating, coding and interacting in real time. * * And yet, these people are still struggling to finding their voices while retaining basic human values within our society. Your challenge is to bring out your virtual brushes and pictorially depict this struggle while celebrating their diversity. Do you see any point in India's history while looking forward into its future? Exercise your creative freedom with Free/Libre open source software and other technologies. Your poster may be the inspiration that gives them a voice to fight for their rights, a vision of a better tomorrow, a tomorrow that gives them the freedom and space to dream while allowing them to explore the problems of their culture.* ________________________________________ The current plan is to restrict possible topics for posters I think we need a additional section for that because of the above.

Hi Mani, I'll take the fall for that since she edited my text and was only trying to help. Feel free to tell me where I'm wrong. For the rest of the folks reading this, the meeting is going on at #wfs-india on freenode now.

You may have to unplug the modem and router and then plug in the modem and make sure it's fully initialized before you plug in the router (or vice versa if, for some reason, doing it that way doesn't solve it).

One of the sites I herd, socialmediatoday.com, uses the Gigya social login and sharing widget. The problem is the Twitter sharing widget doesn't handle ampersands in article titles correctly, so this Social Advocacy & Politics: All Secrecy and No Privacy in the Surveillance Society becomes this: Social Advocacy & Politics: All Secrecy and No Privacy in the Surveillance Society You can try this for yourself at https://socialmediatoday.com/drdigipol/1526916/social-advocacy-politics-all-secrecy-and-no-privacy-surveillance-society The odd thing is the Facebook sharing widget doesn't do this, but passes on the article title correctly, with the ampersand instead of & I asked the nice Gigya people about it, and this what they said: "The title on the page doesn't matter because in their javascript you are passing Gigya a UserAction object:
