“Clearly, people in the Linux community would like for more
women to be involved in Linux, but most people don’t know why so
few women are involved or how to change that. This HOWTO is an
effort to summarize the explanations, recommendations, and opinions
of the women who already are interested and active in Linux. While
we represent the women who ‘made it,’ we still have fairly
important insights into why other women left or never entered the
Linux community, as well as being keenly aware of the pressures
which are currently pushing us out of the community.“In this HOWTO, we’ll talk about why women stay out of computing
in general, why they stay away from Linux in particular, and what
you can do personally to help encourage women in Linux. We hope
that this HOWTO will result in more women using, installing, and
developing Linux…”
