From 2011–2014, Oceania Women of Open Tech (OWOOT) was a group for women in open technology in Oceania: Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
OWOOT's major event each year was the [[Haecksen miniconf at linux.conf.au.
History
OWOOT was launched in October 2011, but grew out of groups in the area for more than a decade.
OWOOT grew out of the former groups AussieChix and New Zealand LinuxChix, both regional chapters of [[LinuxChix. There had been city-wide chapters of LinuxChix in Sydney and Melbourne since 1999 or 2000, key volunteers in these chapters included at times [[Skud, [[Claudine Chionh, [[Julie Gibson, [[Pia Waugh and [[Sara Falamaki. AussieChix was founded by [[Mary Gardiner in February 2007 shortly after the first miniconf and the existing Australian chapters were merged into it. New Zealand LinuxChix was founded by [[Brenda Wallace, [[Joh Pirie-Clarke and [[Penny Leach.
In April 2011 Brenda closed New Zealand LinuxChix due to lack of activity, which was the catalyst for the AussieChix email list and the joint AU/NZ IRC channel to expand their scope and rename themselves OWOOT.
After a few years of quiescence, OWOOT membership agreed that there was not sufficient interest to continue the organisation. It closed in May 2014. [[Category:Australia [[Category:Closed organizations [[Category:FLOSS [[Category:New Zealand
