Status of women in Debian
Hi there, in preparing my state of the project address at LCA on Monday, I'd like to note quickly the effects of debian-women. Can anyone hook me up with the number of women involved in the project, as DDs, DMs, or regular contributors? Or an estimate? Is it fair to claim that women's presence in Debian is ever increasing, and not only in debian-women, but all over the place? I think so, but that's just my perception... I'd like the claim to be a little more objective... I will also claim that the cowboy days are gone. I've said it before and I'll say it again: that's d-w's achievement. PS: I had written "can anyone hook me up with a number of women involved…" and then decided that this could be misunderstood. :) -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems #define emacs eighty megabytes and constantly swapping. digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/)

DDs (from newest to oldest): christine, ana, helix, mlt, marga, helen, petra, amaya, cmc, sgk. DMs: Miriam (hopefully DD soon). NMs: Meike (just started), Hanna (on hold). There are other female maintainers, but that's more difficult to keep track of. > Is it fair to claim that women's presence in Debian is ever > increasing, and not only in debian-women, but all over the place? I wouldn't say so. Our project was very successful when it was born, but the lack of more female NM applicants shows that it's not "ever increasing". As ana said on IRC, there was a peak, but we are sort of stalling now. > I will also claim that the cowboy days are gone. I've said it before > and I'll say it again: that's d-w's achievement. Yes, I do agree with this. Even if we are not so many, there are MANY men that agree with D-W ideas, and thus helped us in changing the "cowboy" style. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There was also Demonishi aka Genise Pearce, who is currently "emeritus DD". Some maintainers I found looking around (many might be missing): Ana Isabel Delgado Dominguez, Sandra Jean Chua (Sacha), Elizabeth Krumbach, Vanessa Gutierrez, Sonia Hamilton. And there are also many female Debian participants that I'd like to list, even if they don't maintain anything: Biella, Dana, Runa, Hanna Olilla, Tassia Camoes. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
