[Kde-women] bei wem kommen die Fragen an?

[Koltzenburg]

Hi Bernard, hey all, 

Bernard, 

thanks for your mail which prompts me to observe: what a very 
familiar way of male contemporaries to react: 

> I take your email as a chance to present myself. 

:-)

> We try to figure
> out why there are so few women in the free software world (all
> major surveys on free software developers show that there are
> less than 2% women involved) and what one could do to change
> the situation. 

hm, for me the gesture includes the message: watch out, women, 
you're being watched :-)
and: you are so few...

well, while it may just be a nice transparent gesture of yours, i 
do not know the solution to the situation you've just placed 
yourself (and other list members) in - and i realise this is one 
reason why i definitely prefer patronising-free women-only 
lists :-)

you posing as an anthroplogist, can you help solve this situation 
- or may i suggest you rather let female colleagues of yours 
speak on this issue here?

what do others think about this?

and: can someone please try to explain to me why this list is so 
quiet?

best, Claudia
