Standing out in the crowd: OSCON Keynote

The article was quite neutral. I think women tend to be better collaborators and I fully expect the open source explosion to be lead by females.

Good process and interaction can be developed by anyone regardless of gender and other genetic factors. Nonetheless, it does seem that women tend to be aware of and do the actual 'house keeping' of project accessibility and comprehensibility for other developers (docs, overviews, diagrams). This is huge.

An excellent discussion of how the open source community often tends to (unintentionally) exclude women, and what individual projects can do reverse that trend.
