If you are looking for a wider reach grrltalk would be ok too, i
guess. I'll also forward this to indichix.

" When speaking of women in the IT industry, it is not uncommon for
many folks to (un)knowingly confuse unpaid women volunteers in FLOSS
with  women working in the IT industry for a monetary consideration. "

As someone who does not earn a living from the IT industry its fairly
amusing to see folks trot out statistics even today. So I just wanted
to say a big "thankyou" for publicly acknowledging this and apologise
for not directly helping out with Fedora QA -- its debian and ubuntu
for me :)
