Bruce Byfield: Sexism in the FOSS Community?
2009 was the year that feminism came to the FOSS community. Suddenly,
people started noticing the lack of women, and the systemic sexism in
the community. What happened? How justified is the reaction? Why
does it matter? Come prepared for a lively and open discussion.
