I understand why the Ubuntu Women shouldn't be purely technical -- we're aiming towards the least amount of segregation possible while we work to create an even, hospitable (not hostile!) work field. I just didn't think of it in advance. Thanks. So, I would prefer to have quotes from some of you since it shows a sense of community and team-building. If any of you have a minute, can you give an answer or two to any of the questions that sound interesting to you? (and Caroline can I have your permission to quote that you mentioned the API for plugin dev for TuxPaint?) Why you went into this field -- Why you use Ubuntu -- Friends you have seen leave (anonymous or generalized) and why -- Have you seen a younger girl use Ubuntu? If so, her reaction / your reaction -- Any specific suggestions about how to help girls feel like computing is natural and normal for them -- Thanks, --Cathy
