The following items will be on the daily agendas during FOSDEM and open for discussion. The agendas should help us in defining the WoMoz 2010 Roadmap, our main goal being to increase the number and visibility of women contributors in Mozilla.

As we have 2 hours to complete each daily agenda, this gives us about half an hour to discuss each of the 3 topics:

On Sunday, from 13:00 to 13:15, Alix and Delphine will present Women & Mozilla project during a lightning talk. Slides are available on Slideshare.

Amongst regular contributors, how many are women? Who are they and in what different areas do they contribute? There are many ways to analyze communities' contributors:

• Contacting community leaders: how many persons are there in our community ? On this total, how many are women?
• Contacting localization communities: generally, they are the corner stone of local communities
• Making a short questionnaire to those women to find out what they do in Mozilla, why they do that,…
• Showing what we do, who we are and that we are an open community, making communities more welcoming to new contributors.
• Identifying if Mozilla communities can be more effective in their work, improving collaborative work.
• Getting in touch with other women's groups in FLOSS projects.

• Identifying issues: if a person quit the community, ask why he / she has left (feedback system centered on the community). This can help to measure what can affect contributions and why women don't want to participate, and if there is any discriminative behavior.
• Sometimes, newcomers can feel intimidated when there are too many men and not enough women (although some feel that way when there are too many women – so a good mix could be good for everyone)
• It's easy to get lost after joining the community: people want to help out but are not sure what they want to do or what they can do (especially when they don't have computer skills). They can also easily get lost and not understand how to contribute

• After identifying these women contributors, we will ask them to show their motivations in contribution (interviews).
• Use word of mouth.
• Being present and visible: events but also on Internet (blog posting, planet,…).
• Creating a page starting with simple bugs to resolve, quick contributions. To each task on the list, add a person who could / is willing to help (but not one-on-one mentoring, more general help) ⇒ providing a support network.
• Create a “newbie” team that can help person to find what team they have to join, what person contact, depending on what they want to do.
• Organizing WoMoz workshops (oriented towards a specific area: addons, web design, …). We could also join other women events or FLOSS events
• Subscribing to the GeekSpeakr database, in order to be available for lectures/talks.
• Contacting general education (kids starting in primary) , universities, groups from universities and higher education institutions. Different age groups require different approaches (the older women are, the less time they have, but that changes at some point).

We have to use various tools to increase the visibility of women contributors in Mozilla:

• Creating a video project: women interviews, documentary, short videos, tutorials,…
• Participating to none-FLOSS Events (Women in IT), writing in magazines geared towards a more general public (women's magazines, …).
• Having more women speakers during events to change the image of free software, training people to give talks and make speeches (that should be in the newcomers team), coaching by organizing small talks within the communities (Whistler for example) and hold a coaching/“evaluating” process at the end: we can give them feedback on their talks at the end to help participants improve their speaking skills.

• Changing the mentality within communities.
• Creating a Mozilla Foundation mandate, a charter against all discriminative behaviors. The goal is to get it approved by Mozilla Foundation Board.
• Advocating to community leaders: they have to balance between coding and none-coding contributions and promote all kinds of contributions within their own communities. We must highlight the fact that all contributions are valuable and that there are many existing fields of contribution.

The Manifesto can be quite difficult to understand, especially for someone outside of the Mozilla community. All the projects in Mozilla are linked to the manifesto, directly or not. Why are we doing Drumbeat? Educating people, explaining Mozilla goals more simply:

• Speaking more about history because it's not common (even inside the Mozilla community)
• Making simple slides for communities, videos about the manifesto (a documentary maybe),…
• Creating student channel for IRC (#new-contrib)

WoMoz and Drumbeat have some common goals that we should try thinking about and working on together.

For each item discussed in the Agenda, we will make sure to fill up the information in this Action Chart. This will hopefully help us in conretising our 2010 Roadmap efficiently and as much as possible afterwards.
It is likely that we will not have enough time during FOSDEM to complete certain sections of the chart (such as Who's in Charge). The discussion will therefore be continued amongst all WoMoz community members after FOSDEM and the chart completed accordingly. This will also give WoMoz members that can't attend the WoMoz-FOSDEM sessions the opportunity to take part in the Roadmap discussion.
