Promotion Ideas

• Initiate GNOME Foundation/GNOME companies women initiative where GNOME companies commit to include successful participants in the interview process for full-time jobs or internships.
• Offer to sponsor one or several women who did the best job to attend GUADEC where they will have opportunities to meet employers and network.
• Make arrangements with a professional technology magazine (or magazines) to write up a story about the outreach program and highlight the work the women did.

• Write recommendations on program completion on professional social networking sites such as LinkedIn or offer future references.

• Create a Women in GNOME Facebook group.

• Write blog entries or communications about what women should expect when working in free software.
