BoF: Women (and other minorities) of MeeGo aka "Here Be Unicorns"

Session Summary: 
Women are the Invisible Pink Unicorns of Open source software, and to enable input from a wide area of contributors women are in a key position. BoF: Women of MeeGo collects women and other minority members contributing or even just interested in MeeGo and related open source projects to check what the status quo of MeeGo is and how we can draft more people of any gender, race, ability and social background to make MeeGo rock!
