 The project we would like to develop with Interface3, takes these experiences a step further, making use of typical successful Free Software development tools and methods to explicitly include women instead of excluding them.
-In a series of extracurricular sessions (once a week, for the period of half a year) a group of participants will concretely develop a functional plug-in to an open source project, using concurrent versioning systems and free software tools. The aim is to teach participants how to contribute to an existing project, how to collaborate on problem solving and to function in a decentralized, distributed project. Besides teaching the technical side of things, this means learning how to function in the particular social environment that is Free Software community. Concurrent versioning systems help organise larger software projects  that are undertaken by people that are physically dispersed. Because as a result contributors do not need to be at the same place at the same time, it could help women to fit their professional work in off-hours, without being cut-off from the benefits of exchange and belonging to a community.

 The first pilot that will be developed in 2010, will involve tutors that are active in the SPIP community, a multilingual content management system that has a strong user and developer base in Brussels. Later versions of this project could contribute to other Free Software projects too.
 Employability: need for this type of developer. In EU rise of demand for Free and Open Source Software applications. Versatility of skills.
+Mailinglist, cvs (commit etc.), IRC
+Women only or priority for women?
 Life long learning
+Presence and distant learning; 'teachers' and guests.
+Team of teachers; experienced in different free software projects
 EU funding?
+Workshop and than every two weeks a meeting
 Role of Constant vs. Interface3
+- development, financing, follow-up, evaluation
+- network: find teachers
