[Scale-planning] SCALE CFP Closing on 11/15

[Kenneth Wyrick]

Hi Lori,

Sounds like you are looking for opportunities to explore and expand FLOSS
with Black Women in Technology. I am a Black Person in FLOSS and I would
love to have a conversation with you about your organization participants
and potential opportunities to engage in FLOSS activities.

I encourage you to browser through 2 particular resources that may provide
a FLOSS distro context and have your participants identify any that they
are interested in testing or getting more familiar with:

http://turnkeylinux.org
http://distrowatch.org

Ok as i go through your website I see;
Keila Banks Presents at SCALE 14x. I know her dad, mom, grandfather and
siblings. She would be a good one to involve in expanding FLOSS for your
organization.

I also wound up on the:
http://www.steamcoders.org/programs/

where i see a class that we would like to have at our OSSIE day (sat,
march4) @ SCALE:

Introduction to "Scratch" ~ Students in Grades 4-7 (First-time Coders)    
                              Oct. 22nd - Dec. 10th ~ Saturdays - 8:30 am
– 12:00 pm                                                     University
of La Verne - Founder's Hall - Rm. FH - 207                               
                              1950 3rd St, La Verne, CA 91750

Hello all:

I would like to know how Black Women in Technology can become involved? I
know the opportunities in open source abound 😊

My goal is to make sure our group can encourage more black women to
migrate
towards open source. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Warmly,
Lori Mitchell
