She doesn't look like an outlier from here.
Early education does make a difference, and there is bias there, but there is also prejudice in open source, as well as prejudice in the IT industry in general. All of those things need considering. However, here, we were talking about open source, not early education, so please don't derail the conversation.

Women don't have the same passion for open source men do? Really??

So, just talking about Open Source doesn't actually help to solve the problem significantly.
