+I've signed myself up for a talk and conducting two discussions
+at the [MiniDebconf-Women](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWomen/Projects/MiniDebconf-Women/2014)
+coming up in March. They will be my first small contributions
+to the Debian community. And my first public talk at all.

+I've signed myself up for a talk and conducting two discussions
+at the [MiniDebconf-Women](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWomen/Projects/MiniDebconf-Women/2014)
+coming up in March. They will be my first small contributions
+to the Debian community. And my first public talk at all.
+
+The talk is called "Graphic Design with Debian". I've made an
+initial presentation of what it's about [right here|talks/graphicswithdebian].
+
+The discussions I'd like to invite to are called "Participation"
+and "Visual design in Debian". Both calls for a further description,
+which I hope to come around to make soon.
+
+With all three initiatives I aim to help bridge the gap between
+coders and designers way of thinking and working. I hope for
+dialogue. I want cooperation. I want further understanding -
+both ways. I want us to level with each other.
+
+This is not easy. I live and work with a geek, and God knows
+we don't always speak the same language. I've also seen a
+snub-nosed designer being boo'ed out of a presentation. I
+won't let that happen to me. I have no design presentation. I
+have no ideas up front. I'd like to invite coders into my
+world. I want to introduce coders to design thinking. I know
+it is possible, and if anyone can do it, I can. At least I
+hope.
+
+I have some cleaning up to do in my world to make my points
+understandable. I'm glad there is a whole winter to do that.
+I'll keep you posted.
