LinuxChix Mailman

LinuxChix offered a welcoming, safe space for women interested in computing by creating a sense of community and providing an opportunity for women to be visible in the tech world. Entirely volunteer-run, a variety of mailing lists offered women a place to ask questions, whether it was about programming, building kernels or how to build a website. At its peak, mailing list membership numbered over twenty five hundred people.

In the late 2010s and 2020s, interest waned and the mailing lists and IRC channels became less and less active. In 2025, a decision was made to cease operations. The former LinuxChix site has been archived by the Internet Archive, as has the courses site. You can find the archived LinuxChix site here and the archived courses site here. The mailing list archives were not archived.
