I am currently (as we speak, actually) writing a term paper about the importance of female participation in open source development. I will write another mail about this (both to d-w and to LinuxChix) when I have some more time (I found out today that the first draft was due tomorrow morning and not on Friday - ups!). For tonight I am just wondering who those three people are? Thanks! Magni :) -- sash is very good for you.
