<p>I took part in the Outreach Program for Women as an intern in 2013, and became a mentor for the same program in 2014. This talk intends to voice my experience with the GNOME initiative, as well as my thoughts and concerns around the program as a student, a mentor, and a professional in the free software domain, and as an earnest observer of the chaos that is formally called "The Internet." With a focus on the Why, the What and the How of the Gender Gap in free software, the talk ventures answers to those, as conveyed by the OPW initiative.</p>

<p>New research techniques like data mining have highlighted the shortcomings in "free" (as in beer) licensing of academic research, and the benefits of "libre" licensing that permits true scholarly engagement with data and scholarship. These challenges apply equally in the education sphere, where teachers often need to manipulate resources and not simply distribute them. We will survey what is sometimes called the "open movement" in academia, which incorporates open access, open education, and open data. How are researchers and educators grappling with these challenges, and what can they learn from the free software movement?</p>
