A proposal: the oS community should aim to have a minimum of 1/4 of each
committee male and 1/4 female in 1 year's time, rising to 1/3 in 2 year's
time. In 5 years remove the "quotas" as it will have either worked or we
will have failed collectively, if, as I assume, we all agree that women are
capable of and interested in participating in this and we would all benefit
by creating an environment which is attractive to all comers (not just women
/ men).


Reverse discrimination (usually labeled "quotas") accompolishes nothing
but hard feelings.
