This essay is not just about women in Linux. Many of the points
are relevant to newbies in general, and to women in a mainly-male
environment in general.
I think reading this and implementing at least some of the Dos
and Don'ts may make the upcoming events (Welcome to Linux, Renanim insta
party) more sucessful ones. Mainly about the importance of tolerance
towards newbies and otherwise not confident people. After all, the success
of the Newbies events are not really how-many-have-we-installed, but
how-many-more-are-really-using-linux-now.
Tal, thanks for the link. I have not yet had time to read all of it,
including the essays it links to, but in many aspects it describes exactly
the way I feel.
