[Techtalk] [OT] HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux

[Sujita Purushothaman]

Hi Val,
       Under the explanation you wrote that among the women involved in
Linuxchix  is an O'Reilly author. If that wasn't Jenn, you might want to
put "O'Reilly authors" instead, or do we have to wait till her book is
out
to do that?
Rgds,
Sujita
