Women in Open Source

There was a great panel on Women in Open Source at OSCON. It raised some very interesting issues including the open question of why there is 10x fewer women in Open Source then in the regular tech industry (as programmers and technical roles). Worth thinking about more and I hope that O’Reilly and others [...]

E-mail and Identity on Opening Move

Scott Mace has a great interview on Opening Move with Scott Chaise.
