    Beautiful. I'm trying to do my part. My wife is a poet, not a programmer, but she uses Open Office and Firefox, and has advocated for Linux in our schools. I'm teaching both my daughter and my son (ages 11 and 8) to program and to value open source and free speech. So far my daughter has been more interested in blogging and environmental activism, while my son is more interested in programming, but they also share each others interests.

    Thank you for all of your kind comments!

    @caitling I think there are lots of reasons why women don't participate in FOSS projects (and each reason will be unique to that individual). I think we need to start looking forward to find new ways to encourage women into being comfortable using software instead of focusing on where the problems have been in the past. For example: there are lots of jobs available now to work on open source projects. It's no longer just a hobby!!

    Fabulous! Thank you so much for pulling this all together in such a compelling and witty way.



    Seems like another reason women may not participate in open source projects as much is simply the time -- after work, there's child care and everything else -- so pro bono work is less possible. Are there ways to participate in smaller chunks that don't require hours at a stretch?

    I've seen Emma give this talk twice, and it is fantastic. Finally, a call to action for all those who want to see the World Domination of Open Source, and a path forward to increasing the number of women who are active in our communities.

    impressing! Provoking! This tribute for women is really brilliant. Congratulations Emmajane.

    this is undoubtedly awesome ....

    any chance this could be converted into a slidecast by adding audio and synching it... that would add the context.. would make it far more compelling as well
