[Hamara-devel] women groups, FOSS, India.

[shirish]

Dear Aparna,
As had shared few days before here's a list of women groups in FOSS, India.

There was an interesting one by Adacamp in Bangalore last year

https://bangalore.adacamp.org/

Adacamp is an initiative of GNU Ada

http://www.adaic.org/
http://www.adacore.com/
http://libre.adacore.com/

Some binaries in Debian

p   ada-reference-manual-2005 - Ada 2005 language standard 

p   ada-reference-manual-2012 - Ada 2012 language standard 

p   adabrowse - HTML generator for Ada 95 library unit specifications 

p   adacgi2   - Ada CGI interface 

p   adacontrol - Ada rules controller 

p   dh-ada-library - Debian helper for Ada libraries
p   libadasockets5 - bindings for socket services in Ada 

p   libadasockets5-dev - bindings for socket services in Ada

and some more.

They are 'interesting' from a licensing perspective. Most of their 
customers are major third-party defence contractors employed by US and 
UK military. It's used heavily in embedded systems for rockets, 
satellites etc. where performance is critical in a hostile environment 
(Space).

There is going to be a hackfest in GNOME in the upcoming fudcon. If you 
want/like you could co-ordinate with the  woman listed who is coming 
from Delhi for the hackfest for this. That probably might prove to be 
invaluable to get inputs on localization, input methods all of which 
sooner or later we will have to get our hands dirty too.

I will send you her contact details in a private mail so you can connect 
with her.

Probably Raju will also be on this (as he is also interested in 
localization bits as well) if he has time so you could co-ordinate with 
him as well.
