Hi everyone,

I just submitted my presentation proposal for Wikimania 2011 ("Wikimedia and Indigenous Peoples: Pros, Cons and Community" - http://tinyurl.com/4locvze), and was curious about any other proposals - either submitted by women, or about gender related topics and Wikimedia.

I encourage you to take a look, and if you hope to attend the conference (even if you've applied for funding) sign your username to the bottom of the talks you have interest in attending to show your support.  This list could be limited, as some names aren't always easy to decipher gender from, so please bear with me and contribute if anything is missing!

You can view all of the submissions here: http://tinyurl.com/694hzu8

There are no presentations that directly reflect women and their roles in Wikipedia, to my surprise! Again, if I missed someone, I apologize!
