In February, Linux and open source enthusiasts met in southern California for SCALE 6x. The conference kicked off with a day of “Friday Special Events,” including a Women in Open Source conference.
At the 2008 Southern California Linux Expo, female attendees received a ladies' t-shirt in their attendee bags – a small gesture, but also a first in my experience. On Friday, February 8th, I attended the Women in Open Source conference, a loosely organized event with eight speakers.
Allison Randall’s first talk, “The Art of Conference Presentations,” proved to be a hard act to follow because she suggested some best practices for speaking and slide show preparation.
