Re: Announcing KDE-Women!

Great!
Computing in general is way too male dominated! Congrats to all @ women.kde.org. (is this the first OSS project that specifically acknowledges women?).
After all.. women are slightly more than half the population - unless KDE is made to be attractive to them too, we can never have world domination :)
You rock!

women projects

No, this is not the first project run by women. There is linuxchix.org, some mailing lists (like the german lynn-list) and running titles in linux magazines (as in Revista do Linux, a brazilian magazin).

i knew about those.. i was thinking more about women doing what you're doing - getting involved in a major project and organizing themselves. I have a feeling women have a much harder time than men to be taken "seriously" (if a girl is involved in the OSS scene it is often assumed her S.O. is a "real" coder and she's just there for his sake and/or that she only does artwork or html.) so womens advocacy groups are very important.
If women and men truly treated each other equally there wouldnt be a need for genderspecific groups, but we rarely do. Men are probably much worse (we're just now (last 50 years or so) getting into our think heads that women arnt just pretty things that cook)
Btw, thanks for the tips page - i had no idea what that little X next to the location: field was =)
