One way forward might be involving more women. Now and again,
a woman posts a patch or a comment but the core participants are all men. The Foundation's board
is also all male. Google Code also seems to attract an all-male crowd.

Women, in particular, are excellent at active networking and will in time involve yet other women (and men).

How to do it? Next time there is a review, cold-call a colleague or a mailing list participant.

Cheers,
Kostas
