/** since you are incapable of understanding what is top posting and why you

/** Bleh[1]: Please do not top post and please chop off old signatures when

I am extremely sorry for top posting.. kenneth.. i understood top posting
thanks your guidance earlier.. Now this is a careless mistake on my part,
and i apologize for that..
/** I would beg to differ on your opinion, we cannot associate open source
with anything peculiar or particular like 'strategic mindset'. Its a way of
life...the choices some of us have made..And I strongly oppose generalizing
on basis of gender or 'whatever'. It's just that its a male dominated
society where in we believe that we are superior, which is quite quite
incorrect.
**/
I am not talking of male superiority.. i am of the opinion that no one can
be superior in all aspects over others.. Everyone have their unique
strength and weakness.. Infact, women are superior in many of the aspects
than men.. so no question of supporting male domination here..
/** Open source needs open minds and whoever has it will be successful.
There are lots of successful women in FOSS world, especially in area which
need creative, patient minds. As far as I am exposed to Ubuntu project,
there are lots of women participating in higher levels of managing the
project. I also know few womens who are more like brand names in Usability
and HCI area, especially in KDE circles. We also have women from India
contributing to the Linux kernel project itself. We have lots of Indian
women involved in Localization projects.
**/
Regarding women's participation in FOSS, i am not generalising any thing..
i just expressed the underlying reason, that i had opined..
There is no second thought women should be encouraged to participate..
Btw, i am a fan of "Alolita Sharma" who writes regularly at LFY.. we can
see her blog at http://opensourcebuzz.blogspot.com/
However, the fact that there is only negligible women members participating
in the discussion here, cannot be overlooked..
Hope, i am not top posting now..
