At heart, I must be a comic. Why else have an AOL account on a debian mailing list? Hi! My name is Josh.
So, to the topic... Perhaps the next release can be called something other than "woody", a word which has some masculine overtones. I won't mention the obvious association between XR11 and whatever other X might exist that is related to graphics and the net, since this isn't an X list. Some of the programmers working on debian are undoubtedly great. Some of their work might someday be regarded as the most inspired efforts of this generation. When Sandra Day O'Connor graduated near the top of her Stanford Law class in 1952 the only job she could get was legal secretary. "Too much testosterone," to paraphrase the general consensus, why women wouldn't succeed in the courtroom, at the time. I wonder if any young women hear similar things from the relatively modern community here. In fact, as this thread has shown, they do. Doesn't that suck a**? Do you believe there is any guarantee that the world's smartest person is a male? -JoshNarins
