I'm sorry, but I don't get the point of this listing of women.  

I think that the evidence is that very few women are engaged in Linux
as either leaders of a commercial Linux entrepise or as developers in the 
open source community.

What we need is not a list of some of the very few examples we can fish
out of the occasional development groups, but rather an effort to bring
female leadership into Open Source development, and into commercial enterprises.

If we want to be included in the press hype, then it is important to be 
ubiquitously involved in the open source movement.  I really don't think that
the occasional contribution is enough.  We need to be represented in the
highly visible business and hacker communities. 

I can think of only one woman who meets that criteria right now, and that is
Esther Dyson.

Just my $.02,

Maureen Lecuona
