A quick list: ubuntu-women linuxchix debian-women gnome-women apache-women bsdchix drupalchix fedora women systers (part of the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology) I've missed loads, I didn't realise there were so many. > I don't particularly agree with the concept of having women-only teams > as i think it creates a visible boundary. http://ubuntu-women.org/faq.html covers this (it's a very common argument). >While the general open > communities are often "boys-clubs", they are not limited to boys only. Unfortunately, the statistics disagree with you. For what ever reason the FOSS community is almost completely male and left to itself I don't think it will change. Women only groups are a reaction to the situation and part of the solution, but they are not the final solution. Also, there is nothing stopping a man from becoming part of a women's group (ubuntu-women have a number of useful male contributers for example). -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
