"Given this, it would probably be best not to expect
anything earth-shaking to happen when the Free Software Foundation
holds a mini-summit later this week to discuss the participation of
women in free and open source software.
"The summit, or conference, or talk-fest, call it what you will,
has come about after people attacked FSF founder Richard Stallman,
admittedly an easy target because he never fires back, after they
deemed a keynote he made to the GNOME Foundation's annual summit in
August sexist."
