GNOME Women

GNOME

Hanna Wallach recently announced the formation of the GNOME Women project: "Concerned about the lack of female GNOME developers and inspired by the success of the Debian Women Project, Máirín Duffy and I have founded GNOME Women, a project to encourage more women to participate in GNOME development. At present, we’re starting small—just an IRC channel and a forthcoming mailing list—but I’m hopeful that the project will be as enourmously needed and successful as Debian Women. If you’re interested in getting involved, do drop by the IRC channel (#gnome-women on irc.gnome.org) or send me an email.
"

A mailing list and archives are now available, with a website also in the works.

No point

There is no point in this at all... GNOME could be putting it's resources to much better things, but instead we decide to make a site targeting the percert-of-a-percent of GNOME users? As far as I know it, whether your a guy or a girl, using a computer is the same thing.

Honestly, it's a cute idea, but let's actually work on making GNOME kick ass, as opposed to giving GNOME developers and users a girl site to sidetrack themselves on. (not to flame, but alot of the girls who are apart of these sites are really attention-seekers, which just annoys me to no end).
