OSCON Keynote on Women in Open Source
I want to make sure I link to Skud's OSCON keynote speech about women in open source culture. It's eye-opening, and is one of the reasons I'm working on changing my perspective on whether or not *I* can learn basic programming and other tech skills.
She also highlights why the OTW and Dreamwidth are great projects and are important as being the only major open source projects with a majority female developer demographic--not just the content, but the development is very much grounded in the community, and women are connecting and skillsharing in really important ways.
