God willing that is my vision is to have a open source company that will bring in other people and educate a segment of the population on FOSS. As for now it is in the beginning but does not only have to be. It could be beneficial to other FOSS organization to reach out also, that would be good to have new generation of contributors that come from a different background. Correct??

Yes I have been in touch with some of the organizers of OPW about this and they did give me few options to look as for myself and possibly for children who have an an interest in CS.

I thinks its a fair question, but at same time you have to lead on this issue one of the ways you could lead is to start a blog or website that calls to young and old or no age limit to discuss opportunities, or lack of. Now in your area have you talked to anyone in the Indian reservations if they are interested in creating a forum for open source in their communtiy.

I don’t think there’s any particularly good reason why not, I just think no-one got around to it yet. The lack of women is probably the most ‘visible’ problem, so it got the attention first – and even there, OPW is a pretty new program. Have you suggested to the OPW organizers that they look at the possibility of having similar programs for ethnic minorities?

Comment on The Wiki of Fedora Project by tajidinabd

Well for example its better that Fedora Project organize the content into 3 categories How-To’s/Tutorials, Fedora Sub-Projects(content that is for internal use with the Infrastructure team) for example, and then Main Documentation things like the “How do I get involved” “Join the Fedora Project” “Interact with the Fedora Community”. If you look at this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki. So thats my 3 main areas where everything could be put under. As far as the users personal pages i guess we could put that in a fourth area. What do you think.

Do you have a suggestion for how the wiki could be better organized? It’s always a challenge to make a simple navigation pathway through a large amount of complicated material that changes very quickly. Actually, new contributors are usually better at doing this than experienced ones, because experienced contributors are used to getting around a messy wiki. So you’ll probably have some good ideas for this that we have not thought of!
