[chox] gender und f/oss



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.
