Emma Jane Hogbin (born May 2, 1977) is a Canadian technical writer and free software advocate who lives in Dartmoor,[1] United Kingdom.[2] As of 2009, she was active in Drupal [3] and the Bazaar version control system [3] in different capacities and has contributed documentation to the Linux Documentation Project.[4] In 2010 She also spoke at various events on a range of technical and social topics.[5] [6] She is a member of Ubuntu Women,[7] a group devoted in part to "Encouraging women to participate, for example, to learn to create new FLOSS software (or revamp existing software), not only to use Linux software, but to integrate backwards and learn more about it."[8] Hogbin unsuccessfully ran for the Green Party of Canada in the Ontario riding of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound during the 2011 federal election.[9]

Unicorn Law

[edit ]

Hogbin formulated the "Unicorn Law", named by herself and Gabrielle Roth in 2009. The law states:

If you are a woman in open source, you will eventually give a talk about being a woman in open source.[This quote needs a citation ]

In late 2010, the Unicorn Law was controversially referenced on T-shirts for the Haecksen conference, a mini-conf preceding Australia's linux.conf.au 2011.[10] [11]

In 1991, she served as a Legislative Page to the 35th Legislative Assembly of Ontario.[12] In 1998 she served as a Legislative Usher to the 36th Legislative Assembly of Ontario.[13] She continues to be politically active through her Web development consultancy and has built the campaign Web sites for Shane Jolley [14] and Dick Hibma. On March 25, 2010, she announced that she had filed to run for the Green Party nomination to be a candidate for the riding of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound in the 2011 federal election.[9] On May 2, she was defeated, having received 5,092 votes.
