I would like to raise a bit the debate.
Now if many people would do more for this community I would have the time to write mails but I dont. Sorry about.
I���m feminist and probably more than you expect.
So let us transform such energy into something positive:
Propose some concrete actions to get more women in Pharo/Smalltalk so that we see what we can do.
Because you see I���m more used to do things than to talk.
And since I���m talking too much it implies that yes I���m doing a lot more than you think
Thank you St��phane for raising this important issue.
With Jigyasa Grover, we would like to push a concrete action to have
more woman in Smalltalk. We are looking for companies (or individuals)
that are interested to help us pushing Pharo to the Outreachy program:
https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/Outreachy helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open
source software get involved. This program funds internships. These
internships are open internationally to women (cis and trans), trans
men, and genderqueer people. Additionally, they are open to residents
and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African
American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native
Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.
The program is similar to Google Summer of Code, but only for certain
set of people & the internship stipend has to be provided by the
organisation themselves hence we need at least 6500USD for
participating in the program i.e. sponsoring at least one participant.
Pls read more about it here :

Are there any companies willing to sponsor so we can have Pharo as an
Outreachy organisation ?
If anyone is interested, please send a private email to Jigyasa (in CC) and me.
The list of companies who already sponsor the program is here:

Thank you for your help.
