justine, i'm not sure if you're planning an e-mail type of mentoring program or a get together type of one, but i would be interested in helping out, and i could probably interest some other women here (who are far more knowledgable about Linux than i). i'm part of a startup (WorkSpot, Inc. http://www.workspot.com) that uses all open source software and Linux O/S servers on the back-end. our three system administrators/operations folks are women :) we have other women developers and better than the average number of women executives. we sponsored a young woman right out of highschool to write software for us this past summer before she headed off to MIT -- she was great. i volunteer at a local girls middle school (http://www.girlsms.org) in their entrepreneurial education class and it's a blast. i do have an engineering background though, so i would also like to volunteer in some mode that helps them get excited about math, science, and computer technology. ideas? i'm listening... kathy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > ----- Original Message -----=20 > From: Justine Cubbage tenZeldam=20 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]=20 > Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 2:57 PM > Subject: [issues] Heroins? > > Who, if any woman, has inspired you to be a Linux Chik?
