Panel Discussion - Women In FOSS
summary
Panel reports concrete tactics and failures: contributors use Apache Airflow and cite a five‑day refactor that a one‑line fix would have solved, engineers work on conversational Commerce and LLMs, academics rely on open‑source imaging tools, and heavy meeting loads during WFH cause burnout. Recommendations are specific: make conscious career choices, build everyday mentors through community contribution, practice short direct questions, insist on written meeting notes, set clear time boundaries, delegate household tasks, take small leadership roles and keep hobbies for quick wins.
