abstract
| - On 24 Aug 2009, the Free Software Foundation announced that it planned to hold a mini-summit on Women in Free Software. From the announcement: BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Monday, August 24th, 2009 -- On September 19, 2009, Deborah Nicholson of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), Stormy Peters of the GNOME Foundation and Hillary Rettig, free software activist and author of The Lifelong Activist, will gather a small group of women activists, thinkers, and scholars to identify strategies and initiatives that will foster sustained participation by women in the movement. The event announcement was very widely distributed, but the event itself only had nine invitees. It was not open to the wider community to attend. The event was seen by some as a response to the bad publicity of the EMACS virgins joke made by Richard Stallman (founder of the FSF).
