Resources for women using Ubuntu

[K.Mandla]

If you are a woman using Ubuntu, and you'd like more information on how you can get involved, contact women who work on the project, or just get in touch with other female Ubuntu users, there are quite a few sites available as resources to you.

Ubuntu-Women

"Ubuntu-Women is a team functioning under Ubuntu to provide a platform and encouragement for women to contribute to Ubuntu-Linux, a Debian based free and open-source GNU/Linux software. Our main role will be along the lines of supplementing and being the stepping stone toward the larger Ubuntu-Linux world. Membership is open to all."
