I've nothing against the idea, but I do not understand how to make
openSUSE "attractive to women"? What is preventing them now to take
part to the community life and contribute? Are we so women-unfriendly,
or they're simply not interested? I don't see a difference in
treatment for men and women when they get in touch with the openSUSE
community, at least not the online one.

I don't think making openSUSE attractive for women is "a strategy",
which should focus on broad goals.

Best,
