I am just compiling the section 'women in the Free/Libre/Open Source 
Software Community'.

I would like to hear -women opinion about this question; my answers are

  mainly false
  
- Women think of contributing to FLOSS as a competition
  less often than men
  
  mainly true
  
- Women ask more questions than men

  I do not know
  
- Men work on their own, women prefer to work in teams

  mainly true
  
- Women work more effectively than men

  I do not know :P

  than a FLOSS participant
  
  mainly false
  
- In offline contexts women often get more attention as a women rather
  than a FLOSS participant
