Women in open source

Kirrily Roberts gave a great keynote presentation at OSCON, singling out the OTW and a separate project, Dreamwidth, as models for open source done inclusively. Since I'm about as technologically competent as a two-year-old chimp (and less so than a two-year-old human), I'm humbled to be associated with a group doing such great work. The presentation is short and compelling; I recommend it highly.

This suggests a standard unit for measuring technological sophistication: the chimp-year.
