>From a woman's point of view, this is a pretty terrible page. It really does that whole minority-group thing that makes me uncomfortable. I can't assume that I speak for other women though - I've always been a bit of a geek. But I think the reality is that most women who get interested in Linux will have a bit of a geeky streak anyway.
I'm really busy right now but I'll have a look at this page and see if I can make it sound a little more inviting and less like an equal-opportunity speech. The other thing is, how do women even find such a page? I didn't know there was a women's mailing list, because it didn't even occur to me to look for one! Equality and inclusiveness isn't about creating little subgroups. It's about making sure that everyone is treated with decency, and not indulging in rude toilet humour or sexist humour, treating newbie/silly questions kindly, not assuming ignorance nor knowledge. Has anyone noticed the rather rude comment that is usually on the opensuse-chat page when you log into Freenode? Where does that sort of thing come from? This is really pretty gross and unnacceptable. Fixing this would be a nice first step. " Topic for #opensuse-chat is: Welcome to openSUSE chat!
