Advocacy
I distributed the first batch of surplus Hoary CD's to many people locally and am happy to note that mostly students used it more than engineers. With Breezy one RH user has become a Ubuntuer. Next, I plan to distribute the Breezy CD's to local school students.
Ubuntu's future and me
I would love to see more women volunteering with Ubuntu for packaging, bug patching, as software programmers or other technical roles.
