I like the idea.

I wonder if we could think of something concrete to accompany the 
announcement? For example KDE recently held a party to celebrate it's 10th 
birthday... the photos and guest list added weight and interest to a story 
that could otherwise seem quite bland. Not that I think women in FLOSS is a 
bland story, but that it doesn't seem like an news story.

Some awards? Some examples of recent contributions? Along similar lines, some 
interviews with key people from a number of projects? Not great ideas, anyone 
got any?

Regards,
Tom
