w00t! Game developers!

So I'm really curious about this bit -- I suppose two parts or maybe they're really one and of course, no obligation to answer if you don't feel like it. :) - What about female-dominated environments has made you feel like you don't fit in, specifically? I think I've felt this way in the past, but for me it had more to do with not feeling "polite" enough and being accused of being too hostile/aggressive. Your comment about social wiring piques my interest, I think, because (due to your mention of autism at the end of your bio) I'm wondering if there are some things a lot of us don't notice because they're really subtle behaviors we've picked up along the way and they are either natural to us or we've learned to mimic them effectively. - What about DW differs, in your opinion? I have my own theories about what the differences may be, but I'm really interested in hearing yours. > I'm making my way through all the documentation required in order to > make good packages and nice bug reports, but at the moment I'm mostly > expanding my knowledge of autotools. I think Erinn knows why. Indeed I do, and I can barely contain my excitement. :) > I'm mostly here to give back to the wonderful system running on my > workstations, although I may apply for NM in the future.
