Aus einer Nachricht von Edward Cherlin; er schreibt, daß die Grameen Foundation die sich durch die "Microcredits" an Frauen in Indien einen Namen gemacht hat, derzeit an einem Programm für breitbandigen Wireless-Zugang in Indischen Dörfern speziell für Frauen arbeitet. In diesem Zusammenhang entsteht auch eine Untersuchung die die Gender-spezifischen Faktoren für die Akzeptanz von Freier Software genauer untersucht. "We examine existing programs and describe the potential impacts of computers owned and used by women on health, family planning, education, economic opportunity, social cohesion, and more, under proposed proprietary and Open Source models."

In recent years, academia, non-governmental organizations, governments, and industry have become increasingly involved in the development of F/OSS technologies, and in analyzing the social impact of that technology in diverse settings, such as in developing countries, in education and in the workplace.
WOWEM, a Gender Equity and F/OSS research and education project started by the Foundation for Sustainable Development, is sponsoring a book to be co-edited by Stacy Gildenston, current Director of Certification for Linux Professional Institute, and Lady Murrugarra, Coordinator Group Work Gender and ICTs - Peru , at www.concytec.gob.pe/generotics/ and Head Computer Center Instituto de Medicina Tropical Alexander von Humboldt - UPCH www.upch.edu.pe/tropicales . This book aims to incorporate both empirical studies and qualit ative evaluations of F/OSS technologies in which Gender Equity concerns have been involved. For example: gender and F/OSS instructional technology (computer-based teaching); gender-based cultural factors in the use of F/OSS; human-F/OSS interaction and trends; the barriers of F/OSS adoption based on gender concerns; and gender-based organizational and work issues; as well as reviews of the broader social implications of F/OSS technologies in Gender Equitable development.
