Thanks all for your comments on this; since this subject line has
morphed to art/ coooking, I won't press it further.

I agree.
Protocol query: Hope you won't mind if I quote some of this to other
friends having this discussion. I'm part of a larger group discussion
on FOSS and want especially to make the point that both men and women
have this issue about family/work pressures in the context of OS/
creative work. Often 'family" stuff is considered a "women's career
issue" but you make the important larger/ general point about
creativity and social structures.
And Suresh, would love to hear more about your foss.in comment of
course :) i know the debate you're referring to but you can't deny
the force of that position at bangalore last time. So, it is here to
stay, whether we agree or not.
