Benvingudes i benvinguts

Benvingudes i benvinguts al Wiki de Ubuntu-Women! Smile :-)

[wiki:UbuntuWomen UbuntuWomen] és un grup que funciona sota Ubuntu i vol encoratjar més dones a contribuïr a Ubuntu-Linux, un programari GNU/Linux lliure i gratuït. Tothom hi és benvingut!

Els nostres objectius

Crear un espai per les dones que es vulguin implicar amb el [http://www.ubuntu.com/ Projecte Ubuntu]. Les vostres idees, habilitats i experiències seran molt benvingudes. Us animem a contribuir:

  • Habilitats tècniques, per exemple

    • creant un grup de dones desenvolupadores que puguin programar i ajudar en el desenvolupament de programari per a Ubuntu,
    • empaquetant/mantenint programari que s'incourà en la següent versió,

    • fent proves de bugs a [https://launchpad.net/malone Malone/Launchpad] i usant [https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/ Bugzilla],

    • fent proves amb l'actual versió beta d'Ubuntu i informant dels bugs,

  • Habilitats de documentació, per exemple unint-se a [http://help.ubuntu.com/ Equip de Documentació d'Ubuntu] i

    • informant d'errors tipogràfics en la documentació actual (manuals, howtos, ajuda, informació de la versió.)
    • corregint documentació actual i nova
    • llegint la documentació i enviant comentaris
    • aconsellant en el format i la publicació
    • contribuïnt en seccions específiques d'alguns documents
    • treballant en equip en uns documents específics
    • supervisant la feina que es fa en un document específic

  • Habilitats d'Internacionalització, per exemple unint-se al [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RosettaReleaseAnnouncement Projecte de Traducció d'Ubuntu] i

    • unint-se a l'[https://launchpad.net/rosetta/groups/ubuntu-translators/ equip] de la teva llengua, o començant-ne un si encara no existeix

    • fent proves amb aplicacions traduïdes i documentació per trobar errors tipogràfics i assegurar la qualitat
    • aconsellant en l'escenari de la teva llengua: llengua, codificacions, tipus de lletra, formats, llenguatge apropiat i gràfics

    • traduïnt interfícies d'aplicacions (usant [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RosettaReleaseAnnouncement Rosetta])

    • traduïnt documentació

    • La pàgina [wiki:UbuntuWomen/Translators Ubuntu-Women Translators] té una informació introductòria, enllaços a recursos clau, howtos (també un sobre com traduïr aquest wiki), informació sobre el grup i18n-mentor i una llista de l'equip de traducció de Ubuntu-Women. Vols unir-te a nosaltres? Cada frase traduïda ajuda

  • Communication skills, for example by

    • joining [http://ubuntuforums.org/ Ubuntu forums], [http://www.ubuntu.com/community/lists Ubuntu mailing lists] and [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InternetRelayChat Ubuntu IRC channels], to share ideas and experience, help users with questions, plan and implement improvements to Ubuntu, create a welcoming and effective environment

    • maintaining a presence on mailing lists in key projects outside Ubuntu, gaining and sharing information to keep Ubuntu current and relevant

    • writing a page like this Smile :-) for the website or wiki

    • running or helping to run specific tutorials or courses, to meet user needs (e.g. Basic Linux Commands), general courses, or for specific groups
    • lobbying decision-making groups to achieve the best changes for Ubuntu
    • liaising between different groups within Ubuntu, or between Ubuntu and outside groups

    • generally building community: this is what Ubuntu is about. Smile :-)

These are only examples. Whatever ideas, skills or experience you have, it can benefit Ubuntu, and reward you with achievement and interest. Take the first step, and you will be glad you did. Smile :-)

Many of the above-mentioned tasks would be under the ægis of specialist groups in Ubuntu (Ubuntu-devel, Documentation or Translation teams) and your work will finally converge with the main Ubuntu-Linux team. We all work together, and that way we are more than the sum of our parts.

What will a separate Women's group accomplish?

  • Most importantly, it encourages women to participate more in an area which is currently only 1.5% female (recent FLOSS survey). Compared with other activities, Open-Source Software is missing out! We need more women in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOSS FLOSS], but it's not easy to be so incredibly and continually in the minority. Ubuntu-Women wants to work specifically at encouraging more female participation in Ubuntu. People are much more likely to try something new, or to do more of it, if they are welcomed, valued and supported in gaining essential information and skills.

  • For example, in the technical area:

    • Programming is highly development-oriented and the vagaries of each distro in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOSS FLOSS] makes it even more difficult in terms of identifying a problem in "X" application, and knowing how to 'fix' it. We hope to increase the diversity ratio by creating an atmosphere for women to communicate openly and ask technical questions without any fear of being flamed or ridiculed for asking so-called silly questions.

    • Sometimes you may know or have a vague idea of the packages (the dependency hell, ...) but are still unsure which source files can be modified or how it may affect other applications. The ubuntu-developer lists are limited to highly technical data exchange by developers, or package owners may not have time or inclination to mentor newbies. U-W members can provide information pertaining to application development, testing, and bug triaging and redirect people to the correct mailing lists, and/or to Mentors willing to share their knowledge.
  • So, in general:
    • Our main rôle will be along the lines of supplementing and being the stepping stone toward the larger Ubuntu-Linux world.
    • We will encourage women to participate, for example, to learn to create new FLOSS software (or revamp existing software), not only to use GNU/Linux software, but to branch out and learn more about it.
    • We will encourage and increase the number of women using Ubuntu-Linux in a country-specific manner, by sponsoring their talks at local universities, LUGs and schools, which will encourage others to join.
    • We will mentor women in specific areas (such as technical, documentation, translation and communication) so they have the information and support necessary to take these new steps, to get through barriers or difficulties, and to keep learning and growing in the Ubuntu-Linux world.

What Ubuntu-Women is not !

UbuntuWomen is not about segregation of women, rather its goal is to integrate women as equals within the mainstream development of Ubuntu-Linux. Remember, membership is open to all. If Ubuntu-Women is limiting your participation in the wider Ubuntu-Linux community, we're not doing our job. If we can help you to try new things in that community, expand your activities, do things you mightn't have done before, we'll be doing our job. Smile :-)

Mentors Project

Each-One-Teach-One

Potential mentors are the rôle-models who will share their professional knowledge and technical expertise while directly interacting with the new entrant/s. Your skills and experience can lie in any of the areas mentioned above. In fact, if you think there are areas we haven't covered, where you could encourage others positively in Ubuntu-Linux, tell us about them! As a mentor, you can have the lasting satisfaction of encouraging others to learn and grow in this wider community. Don't feel you have to be an expert: anything you can pass on, which will help others, is valuable.

To be a part of the Mentor team please list yourself at the [wiki:UbuntuWomen/Mentors Mentors' Wiki-page].
