On the contrary, they will also mentor men - we are not sexist! I don't know
how many men, but they won't eat you!! Neither you nor Lena has to blog.
Just get a mentor!
Here is the address again:
debian-women@lists.debian.org
Just join the list and ask for a mentor. There is also a wiki page about it,
but I'm not sure where that has got to. It was being revamped and I don't
know whether it has been finished.
The mentors are there to help with precisely the type of problem Lena has -
and apparently you have also.
