I hope "anyone else" doesn't include Debian Women, Linuxchix, Gnurias, and
other groups who are doing excellent work related to women's participation
in FOSS. I know of a number of GNOME people who are involved with, or keep
tabs on the progress of these groups. That we haven't publically adopted a
particular stance or started a project of our own is not immensely bad.

Let's not blow things out of proportion. :-)
