Re: Debian, lists and discrimination
* Matthew Palmer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [040808 11:10]: From the 2004.04.05 version of the keyring, I count 927 unique people or unknowns (there are several might be people, might be 'bots'). Wandering through the name list, I count 122 might not be male and 4 almost certainly female. That equates to an actual female contingent of somewhere between 0.4% and 13.2%. Note that the might not be male is very, very broad -- basically if I don't know of a male with the same name, or I know of a female with the same or a similar name, it's on the might not list. Please be aware that it's more or less not possible to go from names to reliable stats about gender distribution. For example, Andrea is male in Italy but female in Germany.

Which is why I had the might not be category. And yes, all the Andreas (plural Andrea, not singular Andreas) in the project are in that category. Like I said, I suddenly wish for a gender field in db.debian.org... - Matt
New Maintainers
This is a summary of the AM report for Week Ending 08 Aug 2004. 1 applicant became a maintainer. Jaime Robles jaime Firstly to say i am a ham radio operator and i am using linux... i think since 96 more or less. Well, since then i have tried to find free software for hams and some times it was not easy to find it. I subscribed to debian-ham email list to help in the ham related projects and i have been testing and suggesting. I am also developing a logging software for hams (http://jaime.robles.nu/klog) and i started to package it for Debian as Debian my only distro (i have 2 servers and my laptop running different Debian's flavours) and when i asked some developers to sponsor it they tell me to apply and here I am. I want to help mainly in the ham software Debian work, mainly in ham/KDE software as i think there are some really good applications that are stillnot in Debian and Debian-hams are missing great applications. Now i am packaging two applications. One is Klog and the other is KTrack, a Satellite tracking software for KDE. How i came to Linux? uff! i can't remember... maybe a CD in a computer's magazine in 95-96..., and since then i enjoy Linux as my OS. I started helping KDE-ES some years ago and when the previous kde-es coordinator left, i started to coordinate the team trying to motivate and get a 100% spanish KDE system :-) (we got it in 2.2) ;-) -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
