I love and appreciate community events such as #Fosdem, but it makes me sad to see the gender imbalance in #foss tech. I'm aware of the issue, but being at such a large-scale event makes it very tangible and visible.

@RosannaSibora except at the Junior track workshops where we gloriously reflected the actual human race ratio ;) - if you attend again next year Rosanna, please please visit us it will do your heart good #fosdem

@magsamond This is such a goooood news! Glad to hear it! Looking forward to joining the junior track in a few years with my daughter.

We need a toddler track, too. ;)

@RosannaSibora Yup. A lot could be done on that. I'm doing something myself, but it's a long term effort...

@RosannaSibora The legal & policy track also does a bit better than the other tracks.

I did think that the gender imbalance at this year's FOSDEM seemed worse than previous years.
