Andreas, are you seriously about this? I hope not! One of the reasons
why there are almost no mothers involved in Open Source projects, is, to a big
deal, that they spend more time caring about their family, and hence don't
find time for such activities.
Let me put it this way: I'm always wondering how these young fathers (I
know several of them) find time to engage in Open Source related
projects to the extend they do, committing _a lot_ of their time,
besides their normal daytime jobs.
Time their partners don't find -- obviously because they seem to spend
it on childcare, family and household matters, thus giving him the
opportunity to engage in "his" project.
I don't know any young mother who has a partner who does this for her. So
please: Instead of having a bad conscience, spend more time with your
children and housecare, giving your mate the opportunity to engage in
Open Source projects to the same extend you do!
SCNR :)
