25 Women in 10 Free Software Organizations for GNOME's Outreach Program for Women

The idea that every forum must welcome with warm greetings everyone regardless of their repulsive ideas just so that they can be "educated" is something that, in my experience, only privileged people that are not affected by those same ideas consider a great plan. The price we pay for doing what you suggest is that LWN, GNOME, and any other community, becomes a hostile environment for women or other discriminated groups.

My *personal* opinion is that I'd rather lose a hundred misogynists if by doing so I make this forum a better place for *one* woman, but that's just my opinion and not what I said in my comment. What I have advocated is a strong condemnation of the kind of blatant sexism that could decide programmes for the inclusion of women in free software are evil and pernicious. Seems like they least we can do.
