I never had a single hero or role model to whom I looked up; many
people have influenced my way of thinking in ways that make me
greatly indebted. Their gender has rarely been a factor in this.
It's probably true that in the tech domain, more of them have been
male then female. Debian-women has noticeably shaken up those
figures.
While previously there were probably more women who taught me in
social matters, debian-women has again shaken up those stats.
I have high values of respect for those who made and make this
project happen, and especially for the way in which it is happening.
Not all of those were/are female.
If you want a single name, then I have to say that I wish I had
organisational and leadership skills that came close to those of
Marga.
But I truly dislike separating according to genders.
PS: someone once said just about anything you'd want to hear.
