Re: I agree with the first poster...

If you wanted to impress Celeste or anyone for that matter, do you think publishing it on the dot would get you extra points?
Why can't you people treat women contributors to open source in a non-sexist manner? Have you thought about how you would feel if you were a woman and people talked about whether you are "cute" instead of the quality of your work?
The fact that this issue comes up every once in a while on the dot is really pathetic. What's worse is that people like you make the rest of the KDE community appear to be equally lacking in social grace, which is why I am posting this and publicly apologizing on your behalf.
You know what would be really cool? If you reflected on your actions, and you yourself apologized. |

Now you've got all those "extra points". That's not fair!

To make everything fair and non-sexist, we should comment on the appearances of the male KDE devs, too.
I'll help by starting us off... That Aaron Seigo is quite a cutie. ;-)

Um... I didn't make my comments because she's a programmer. I made my comments based on the fact I think she's a very cute, /and/ very intelligent person. I do hope you read my entire comment...
I'm not entirely sure why you feel the need to apologize for me, do you find complementing a woman to be in distaste? If so, I pity you.
Celeste, if you're reading this, I do hope you didn't take what I said in offense... it certainly was not intended as such. If my comment disturbed you in any way, shape, or form please let me know so I may apologize in a proper manner. I shall not apologize simply because others were offended by my opinion, as they were not the intended target.

Personally what really bothers is not the "sexism" in the sense of lack of gender-neutrality when some males address (the few existing) females in fields like informatics and computer science, but their complete lack of social skills and common sense. For me what is really strinking is that some people can only either be assexual or creepy, which usually means that they should definitly go out more, make some female friends and learn how to communicate.
Anyway cool interview, great to see people with actual knowledge on usability contributing, instead of just users and coders as it used to be the case. Hope Plasma does turn out to be amazing :) I cannot wait to be able to show of a revolutionary KDE4 desktop with XGL enabled to some friends.
