LFCS: The Outreach Program for Women

I am going to catch endless shit for saying this -- no, there's evidence, right here on this website :-) -- but if 25% of commercial coders and only 3% of OSS coders are women, that seems to support my personal opinion that the number of women who *enjoy* coding is way smaller than 25%. Perhaps not 3%, and I know some women have been chased off of OSS projects, and I'm not by any means saying that's excusable.

But I don't think it accounts for the difference between 25% and 3% either, and I feel that lots of people are alleging that 25% is the "Real" number and that the evidence shows that *lots* of women are being chased off OSS projects, and that simply doesn't ring true for me.

Happy to be proven wrong.
