Well, I am not sure what to think of this and therefor not comment on it...

Changing the name is not a good idea IMHO after we used it for so
long. And I like ubuntu-women
And please... ubuntu-sex? I really hope you don´t honestly think we
will call the project like this (Not because I have a problem with sex
per se!).

Speaking of being inclusive: The project has and I hope always will be
welcoming to men who want to help. I have not seen one incident where
one was not welcome if he did not act like a troll.


Cheers
