Neat! Looks like an article about the session made it into
Newsforge[1],
with both you and DW mentioned. Do we have a press/articles
section on
the site/wiki? Should we?

I've seen some news in Brasil, too, and one of them had 'only 2% of

and witnessed some negative reaction to this study on the local
linuxchix group.
Danese, do you have pointers for the research which comes to that
conclusion?
Congrats on what seems was a very positive panel!
See ya,
