Sure, but  I think there are a few women who want to participate at both 
events and want to do workshops from the conference
and workshops from the kde-women meeting.

That's true , they don't bite. I never would say that. Because I am 
engaged with one,so I think I know that quite
good. But I don't  know why to make a kde-women meeting at the same time 
and location as the conference, because a kde-women
meeting isn't the same as the conference. But I think we could also do a 
workshop or talks at the conference too, if there is interest (also
from the site of male developers. I can say that the women I talked to 
about the merging, told me that they would prefer to have a
seperated meeting. I don't know if all think like this, I just can say I 
do. And that doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to participate at the 
conference.

Ok, I will mail to the kde-ev mailinglist when the concept is up.
