Panel Discussion I – Women & WordPress – Together how can we can make a difference?

Let’s have a look at few of the phenomenal women who, against all odds, became pioneers of the technology world. These women are heroes:

Ada Lovelace – the first computer programmer.
The ENIAC Programmers – a team of 6 women who, during Word War II, helped the US government secretly program the first all-electronic programmable computer.
Radia Perlman– the Mother of the Internet

Grace Hopper –developed COBOL and other computer languages, which are still in use today.

These women helped to pave the way for future female generations, who desire nothing more than to succeed in the tech world.

There are so many inspiring women in the WordPress ecosystem across the globe, who have stepped into the modern day shoes of predecessors.

Ipstenu (Mika) – WordPress support forum contributor
Helen Hou-Sandi – WordPress lead developer
Sara Cannon – Make/UI blog
Rachel Baker – creator of a Bootstrap theme

If we compare Active participation of Women in Global WordPress ecosystem with Indian WordPress ecosystem, Few questions that come to mind:

Where are the women in Indian WordPress ecosystem?
Why aren’t they participating?
And when are they participating? Why don’t we see them?
Do we still have problems getting women involved with WordPress?

There are lots of women in Indian WordPress ecosystem, they can still do more, and we think speaking is one of those things.

This Panel discussion will be a frank and honest discussion with women who have been involved for different amounts of time in WordPress – ranging from development to designer to marketer.

Panelists include:

Meher Bala (Moderator) – Freelancer and Social Media Marketer
