I find I'm more into the social aspect of open source than the guys I
know are. I can go on and on about how wonderful the community is and
how I'm so glad to have met so many interesting people through open
source development.
I'm also more into advocacy for the newbie / hobbyist / student
crowds, taking advantage of the fact that I'm a young girl crazy about
computers. =) I'm still a little too intimidated to do expert talks on
highly technical topics.
