Piers Cawley blog

[Danese Cooper <da...@gmail.com>]

I just blogged a piece by Piers Cawley, who attended the Euro OSCON  
panel on Women in Open Source (and wrote http://www.bofh.org.uk/ 
articles/2005/11/02/women-in-open-source about it English, which   
makes my life easier at least :-) ).  Piers pointed me to his blog,  
because the discussion at the conference got him to thinking.  In my  
experience, that happens to at least one person every time we have a  
piece of the discussion.  Its inefficient (gathering like minds one  
or two at a time) but I would argue also necessary...

I used to have business cards @ Sun that where under my job title it  
said "...Teaching Open Source to Sun, one employee at a time..."  It  
caught a lot of chuckles, and comments about how long it was going to  
take to approach it that way.  But of course every person who you  
reach turns around and spreads your message to a few others.  Meme  
planting just works that way.
