Retaining women in open source: Organising open source day monthly

[tapaswenipathak]

Hi folks: Finding an active open source contributor or maintainer woman is hard. Internships give a break in open source, if observed there is no retention of women in open source and research[1] suggests. Implementing open source day per month letting woman work with mentor and contribute in an open source project they would like would be practical implementation than just publishing research and articles. Lemme know if you would interested in supporting and I will share further things.

@tapaswenipathak that would be cool! I’d say a better place to discuss an event would be the forum at https://discourse.opensourcediversity.org/ since we also have the "Events" subcategory there which we use for organizing, and other events get posted too. :)
