Hello,

for those who understand german, the talk "Doing Differences unter Linux" by 
Silke Meyer might be interesting.

http://agqueerstudies.de/silke-meyer-doing-difference-unter-linux/

This talk is about speech and humor within the Linux-community, how this is 
reproducing gender roles/expectations and how it's used to draw a line between 
those who are insiders and cool (geeks, those who use commandline tools for 
almost everything) and outsiders (non-geeks).
