Not a candidate but... I don't see Debian as primarily, significantly, or anything like "exclusive" with respect to gender. Quite the opposite. Perhaps there is room for advocacy in that regard though, but I tend to think it's the old adage "show us the code" - doesn't matter whether you're male, female, whatever, if you're interested, and can hack good code, Debian wants you! (There's probably some punch line about "show us the women", but I can't think of it...) So, welcome, take heart, and viva la female hackers! cheers zenaan
