Finish porting

This somewhat orphaned page definitely belongs on the P2PF wiki. Today I will finish copying over any talks on the Disintermedia version that aren't yet on the P2PF version, copy the development notes to this page, and retire the Dis version of the page. --Strypey (talk) 08:05, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Format

The Dis page was formatted for MarkDown, because it was originally developed for Loomio, which supports MarkDown. It might make sense to reformat the list to use MediaWiki syntax, so all the links are hidden, and the entries are tidier. There might also be arguments for keeping the MarkDown format. What do people think? --Strypey (talk) 08:05, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Categories

The original list was assembled for the kiwi Pirate Party, which is why talks from women involved with other Pirate Parties were separated out, as were talks from women who come from (or live in) Aotearoa. For the P2PF wiki, I don't think it makes sense to keep either of these separate categories. Unless anyone objects, I'm happy to go through and incorporate the PP list into the main list. --Strypey (talk) 08:05, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Possible Sources for More Talks

The original text for this section was ported from the original page on Disintermedia. In the wiki system Disintermedia uses, progress notes like these can only be added to the bottom of a page (or its own separate notes page). Since MediaWiki has these Talk pages, it makes sense to me to put them here.

One source for more talks is the link associated with the event for each talk. I've done my best to choose links to either speaker lists or video lists for that event. The P2P Foundation are interviewing women active in the leadership of commons projects, see 100 Women Who Are Co-Creating the P2P Society, and the interviews on CommonsTransition.

Although it's a long shot to expect to find any video of the women who worked as [WW2 codebreakers at Bletchley Park](http://www.bletchleyparkresearch.co.uk/research-notes/women-codebreakers/) it was a long shot that there would be web video of talks by Anita Borg et al from 1997, so...

Also, activism and policy articles, and transcripts of speeches, with photo bylines:

[TED Talks](https://www.ted.com/) and [TEDx Talks](https://www.youtube.com/user/TEDxTalks), [BigThink](http://www.bigthink.com/), the Chaos Computer Club has a [large library of video-recorded conference talks](https://media.ccc.de/), [BlackGirlsCode](http://www.blackgirlscode.com/), [RailsGirls](http://railsgirls.com/), [LinuxChix](http://www.linuxchix.org/), [Women Learning to Code](https://twitter.com/weLearnWeCode), [LibrePlanet 2016](https://libreplanet.org/2016/program/speakers.html), LibrePlanet 2017](https://libreplanet.org/2017/program/speakers.html), [BSides Las Vegas 2017](http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/bsideslasvegas2014/mainlist). Also Girls Who Code and Girl Develop It.

At the [Procomuns conference](http://procomuns.net/en/) almost half of the featured speakers were women. Last year's [Platform Cooperativism conference](https://archive.org/details/@platform_coop) in New York also had a high number of female speakers. 6 out of the 9 featured on the front page are women. [The Conference 2015](http://videos.theconference.se/tag/2015) in Malmö, Sweden, also features a large number of women speakers. [WebVisions](http://www.webvisionsevent.com/) is a web conference that happens in a number of cities around the US and Europe and there are a [number of women speaking](https://www.loomio.org/d/o1s9eQZH/comment/973432) this year. The [Challenge Power conference](http://www.webvisionsevent.com/) in Berlin, 11-12 March 2016, had a number of women speakers. The [Platform Cooperative 2016](https://livestream.com/internetsociety/platformcoop2016/) conference had a large number of women speaking. Just need to figure out how to get individual URLs for the videos.

The [Social Working Group](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg) at the WC3 has a number of women members, including Ann Bassetti, Wendy Seltzer, Jessica Tallon, and Amy Guy. I've already found a number of videos of Wendy Seltzer, but with a bit more searching the Ann, Jessica, and Amy may have talks online somewhere too.

Sunita Narain is an Indian environmentalist and political activist, director of the India-based Centre for Science and Environment, director of the Society for Environmental Communications and publisher of the fortnightly magazine, Down To Earth.

Jennifer Dumas is the VC Legal at free code development company Chef.io, can't find a video of her speaking yet.

Zoe Quinn and Brianna Wu were among the women targeted by GamerGaters. Any talks about?

Anna Debenham is mentioned in this article by Mozillan Matt Thompson. Can't find video of the talk he mentions, but there are others to look through. --Strypey (talk) 08:05, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Susan L. Graham is a Professor of Computer Science at Berkely. --Strypey (talk) 12:15, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
