I can't help thinking that this is just a blurp (waffle; saying something only for the sake of saying it). Maybe it belongs in some other context, but it's difficult to imagine what kind of _activities_ we would untertake in this respect.
During our strategy meeting, the initial item that cause that line to be there was from me. And what the initial item was about was "making openSUSE friendlier to women" (or rather "female contributors", even though that sounds a bit odd and, don't burn me, I'm not a native English speaker ;)).
I find it weird that "difficulty to contribute as a women" became "difficulty to contribute because of the culture" ;-) More seriously, with this specific example, I change my mind: we can definitely make efforts to make our project more welcoming to women (btw, we'll have an opensuse-women mailing list soon -- we found a volunteer to start this at LinuxTag). But I think the sentence that came as a generalization of this is actually less helpful than the specific example you have here. Can we reword this to: "make everyone feel welcome in our community, regardless of their gender, culture, or in general, background"?
