True enough, but who's to say whether a relationship is important?
Especially one that is professionally oriented. I would think that
Telsa, or whomever, could simply be given the opportunity to write
her own blurb.
There are already professional women's organizations in the States
that support Linux. SWEA, the Society of Women Engineers (or
something like that, what is the correct name?) being one of them.
Admittedly, an international organization could better suit Linux's
needs, especially if it's on the Web, where national boundaries
don't mean as much.
Apologies for my not-very-good phrasing.... I'm not completely
awake and there's little chance of my becoming so for the rest
of the morning. :)
