Resources for Women in Open Source
« on: January 14, 2010, 05:46 PM »
Here's a few:
http://www.itworld.c...es-women-open-source

When I first started programming in high school at age 15 (on a mainframe), I was one of only two or three girls in the class of perhaps 20 students. At the time, I thought that was a pretty good ratio. God knows that I never lacked for a date. Ever since then, however, I've been doing my best to encourage more women to get into the field. Not because I believe that the computer industry arbitrarily needs to have a one-to-one ratio, but because I love computing so very much and I want to share that excitement. My enthusiasm extends to the open source community as well.

When I saw the thread title I thought you wanted instructions to build open source women :P

Interesting article - thanks.
