My wife loves these kinds of movements, she is very aware of the difficulties women go trough day after day, especially on FOSS.

Just because a group exists to raise awareness and encourage a particular demographic, does not mean it by definition discriminates against another group. As an example, we have a global collection of LoCo teams, just because the Ubuntu France LoCo team exists doesn’t mean that it is discriminating people from other countries to join: it is just optimizing the ramp for French people.

For a long time now it has been acknowledged that some women have had a tough ride getting involved in Open Source, and the Ubuntu Women team is there to help bridge the gap and provide inspiration and and help for women in joining us.

And about http://ubuntu-women.org/faq.html : If only 1.5% are women is because they aren’t interested in FOSS as the men. This is because are less women who prefer informatic-related works.

Thanks for listening.
