Hi: As you may know, in countries such as Saudi Arabia, many women feel constrained about revealing their gender and names on-line. I am preparing a story for Newsforge about this phenomenon, especially as it applies to the FOSS community. One aspect that would be especially interesting is the question of whether the same constraints apply in the FOSS community as in the general world of computing.
If you have any knowledge of this situation, or know somebody who does, I would appreciate it if you contacted me privately. Since anonymity is important to many of the women involved, I undertake not to use anybody's name in the finished article, nor to give any details that might allow them to be identified. My thanks in advance to anyone who has the time to respond. -- Bruce Byfield 604-421.7177 http://members.axion.net/~bbyfield -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
