I don't think this is particularly true. I've met many male developers who can't handle open source at all. We use primarily open source - mainly python - at $JOB. In our UK dev department we have ~ 25 developers, and ~ 20% of them are women. In our US department it is more like 10%. This compares to when I was at university (~10 years ago), when ~10% of my peers were female. I don't think compsci admissions will reach gender equality any time soon, so you can expect to see this trend continue. All of my colleagues are excellent (which is why we hired them!), regardless of gender :) Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
