That's a great idea. These retrospectives are always a lot of fun. There used to be a TV series that reviewed the news of the week--
That Was The Week That Was--a comedy though, not serious. They also serve as a catchup for any events that you missed while traveling or whatever, I had thought it was Smallbones who suggested it, but didn't check. So thank you to Smallbones.
These would be a lot easier to write if people would keep track of possible events to include throughout the year. Then at the end of the year, you would have all the sources and would just have to choose the most significant events, or whatever criteria you were using. Some of the links I gave above are not so much events as trends. I have also just thought of Justin Trudeau's "Because it's 2015" statement. Also some private companies that stepped into the act and banned online harassment--Reddit and Facebook took steps against online harassment after the iCloud hack, Google and Bing took action over the summer, and Twitter, which had defined itself as as a platform for speech, banned harassment against all expectation. Then there are annual things like
pay equity day, that could become an annual feature. Sue Gardner's Twitter has some info about women leaving tech in the side bar, that might be a good starting point for career trends. There might also be developments in women's health that people really should know about--treatments that become outmoded, discoveries, etc. I would prefer to call it just "Women in 2015", or something along those lines--sort of a State of the Union report.
This doesn't really fit under the GGTF rubric, does it. Would it be worthwhile to start a separate project?
