What will happen in your session?

In this session, we will reflect on the different roles of women in the open web, and the power of public interviews to generate awareness about diversity on the Internet. Participants will work in pairs, one will be the interviewer, and the other the interviewee, and will go over a set of questions prepared in advance. At the end, we'll come back together as a group, and discuss the questions, how to improve them, and the reflections they brought up for participants.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

To establish a conversation series with women working in the open (code, science, data, knowledge, government...) At the moment, it has only been done among Wikimedia communities (open knowledge), I would like to open this series to other contexts as well.
To improve the existing organizer kit for this conversation (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement/Women_in_the_Wikimedia_movement:_Conversations_with_communities/Organizer%27s_guide)
To gather more experiences for an ongoing research about women participation in public spaces, and how the open web principles / philosophy is changing this.

Still not sure about the title. It could also be: "Women in the open web: Roles, culture and opportunities".

@macruzbar let us know if/when you want to change and we can make that amendment for you

Wanted to tag myself to keep across for the decentralisation zone. @macruzbar something you can do, but completely optional, is have a glance over the decentralisation zone theme and see if there is any way you would like to engage with it https://github.com/KadeMorton/Xenshana

@Saallen I made up my mind about the title: "Women in the open web: roles, culture and opportunities"

Really appreciate your help in changing the title of the session. Thanks!
