[sudo-discuss] [dorkbotsf-blabber] Question about gender diversity in the makerspace.

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

Forwarding this to sudoroom in oakland, who also seem to have a fairly good
F/M ratio - not 50/50, but better than I've seen in most techie fields. And
of course HackerMoms in Berkeley is completely women-run as well.
