So, baring the social atmosphere, what is left besides a lack of interest or attraction of/to female users?
Let me give you few examples: * lack of female role models within the community (female contributors are invisible) * lack of mentoring program (it's not easy to start contributing if you don't have long history of working with computers, which is many women's case , AND finding a mentor to help you get started is not incredibly easy) * hostile environment (sexist comments, jokes & blogposts, and nobody protesting them) Please find some more in this wonderful paper: http://www.flosspols.org/deliverables/FLOSSPOLS-D16- Gender_Integrated_Report_of_Findings.pdf fB. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o OOo developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter
