Right, and IMO we cannot limit our views to what we observe in Debian. I don't know how this figures go in the rest of the world, but I was amazed (given the maturity of the profession, I'd have expected a better balance) that in the faculty I teach (Facultad de Ingeniería, UNAM, probably the biggest school on the different engineerings in Latin America) we still have a 80%/20% gender imbalance. So, according to the graphic (and read optimistically, of course), Debian is faring still quite below that imbalance (~1.5%), but it is by a factor of ~10, not a factor of ~100 (as to the general population). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
