Sounds good, I'll pass this on to my local LUG list, there are a
couple of girls on the list, as you say it's pretty male dominated and
some guys can be a bit funny about it, personally I see the girls in
my local LUG as fellow Linux geeks :-)
Good luck with it. I guess it's okay for us guys to blog about it etc?

God yes - do publicise, many thanks :) The women-only thing is just
about the actual discussion spaces/meetups etc. The research on women in
IT shows that women benefit from having spaces where they can
collaborate in ways that are tailored to how women tend to communicate -
it shouldn't separate out women but actually to support us to contribute
more confidently in the whole community and promote a more inclusive
culture overall - thus making it easier for more women to become users
and/or get involved in the wider FS movement.
So support from the wider community is very welcome - thanks :)
