[UbuntuWomen] Introducing Myself : Shlomi Fish

[Amy Hussey]

Shlomi,

You do realize that many of the same people that are on Linuxchix/grrltalk
are also on Ubuntu-Women?

Do you think you'll be accepted here as well?

Saying that we are a "sick group" does nothing to promote your position.  I
suggest you stop putting the chix down in your posts.

Caroline,

Sounds like he's "dabbled" in Ubuntu.

Amy (a proud member of both ubuntu-women and linuxchix)
