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?
