One of my fondest Debconf conferences was Debconf4 held in Porto Alegre. While the temperature was cool, the atmosphere was vibrant.
One of my favorite parts was meeting the various women involved in Debian and free software more generally (aparently known there as TINC) and one in general was especially vivacious, Pia Waugh. She was recently featured in an interview in computerworld magazine. Either Australians inherently have a lot of energy or they put something in the water “down” yonder, because she sure has her hands in a lot of interesting projects.
So check out the interview to get a sense of one of the leading ladies of open source.
Hey Biella, thanks for the post
It was great to meet some of the cool Debian women at DebConf in Brazil, and I hope to be able to catch everyone again sometime soon!
