Support Open Source: Seduce A Woman Today
,----[ Quote ]
| Robin's blog pointed to a study that tested luxury consumption and helping
| (two costly signals) to see how they varied between the sexes. The result was
| that the possibility of romance increased female public helping and male
| costly displays. Presumably this defied the hypothesis that women buy
| jewellery and men open car doors when in romantic situations.

SCALE 5x: Women in Open Source

| "It was excellent, but I came with, I suppose... a little bit of
| fear that nobody was going to show up. I've dabbled with the
| idea of having similar thing at a conference that I run called
| the Ohio Linux Fest," she told me. "I absolutely feel inspired by
| this. I wondered for quite some time as to how I made the shift --
| of being able to walk into this community and feel that I would
| be accepted rather than just sit down very shyly and figure that
| I wasn't going to be accepted. I do now feel like a welcomed
| member of this community."

| A lot of people have bemoaned the lack of women participating
| in open source communities, but Sulamita Garcia is one of the
| few who have stepped up to do something about it. A Slackware
| user from Florianopolis, Brazil, Garcia has been heading up
| LinuxChix Brazil for four years.
|
| Garcia has been involved with Linux and open source software
| since 1999, when she was at university finishing a computer
| science degree and was tasked with testing asynchronous transfer
| mode (ATM) cards in a Linux system.
