- Open discussion (many-to-many)
- Summary
- The gender gap is a hard problem, and progress is slow. But there are some practices we already know to work well to encourage women to edit and to retain women editors. I would like to briefly present some of them for discussion and learn about what others have observed to work well.
- Preliminary preparation (if necessary)
- interested participants should review their own community's experience and practices (perhaps have a fresh discussion with their community focused on distilling their experience into brief, shareable principles and concise examples), and come prepared to share them in the discussion segment.
- Expected outcomes
- a record of discussed practices and perceived successes and challenges
- Duration (without Q&A)
- 30 to 45 minutes
- Specific requirements
- a projector and a flipchart might be useful, but neither is essential.
- Slides or further information
- Interested attendees (Please add yourself, and you may indicate your questions to the presenter).
