HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux

This article explains some of the difficulties and biases women face in the Linux community and examines various strategies for addressing those difficulties in order to encourage more participation by women. At the 2002 Ottawa Linux Symposium, I hosted a LinuxChix Birds Of a Feather session. During the BOF and throughout the conference, I heard the same set of questions: "My girlfriend hates Windows, how can I encourage her to use Linux?" "Almost no women attend my local LUG. How can I fix this?" "Why aren't there more women in open source?"
