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

[Anthony Di Franco]

A serious complication to our putting a specific number on this in a
data-based way is that our concept of membership is vague and largely
informal.
Regular dues-payers is probably the closest we have but that is also
explicitly not a membership requirement in itself and there are notable
exceptions that make it clearly incorrect strictly speaking.
People with rfid door access might also work with similar caveats.
