I think this is going too far. All of us know Ernest was trying to crack
although it looks like he's not good at it. We shouldn't make a big fuss
about it. If you feel you want to compete with the ladies by starting
"linux dudes", go ahead but am sure there won't be enough quorum.

no need for flames. By default, some things are for dudes. Thats why
when chix take the plunge and join, they want publicity :)
My experience has been that women in IT are more hampered by lack of
hard work and self application (as well as general lack of interest
or low level of interest) than by anything else. But we can't come
right out and say this, to avoid ruffling feathers?
Why should we take a mediocre bunch and praise them, and not praise
the men who are pursuing deep knowledge and excellence? Am not
accusing anyone of being inadequate but am rather saying that they
should prove themselves on merit, not gender.
I can understand how publicity would help, but I think that to reward
gender on its own basis is itself a form of discrimination.
