Maybe we need to recreate the circumstances from the early days of debian-women? - get someone to post unbelievably sexist remarks on debian-devel - summon our righteous indignation about this behavior, drawing attention with blogs, etc. - make it clear that this sexism is an intolerable minority view and that the majority welcomes involvement in Debian by people of all genders, making women aware that debian-women exists as a resource to help them get involved in Debian ;) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
