You wouldn't find a more sympathetic person as far as Linux development is concerned. Over the past 10 years we've seen the same people in "Linux development" build careers out of "maintaining" the exact same broken and misplaced code without much changes. No new people, no new code (SCSI, iSCSI, wireless, etc). > I suggest you > read > http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Nonsexist_language > to gain some > perspective on what other technical women think is sexist > language. And here you point me to a URL which has "feminism" in its title, thus proving my point: Sarah, instead of being riled up on "feminism" you shouldn't care what gender people are, as long as they do good work. You may be seen as a liability by Intel preaching "feminism" on a public forum. From their point of view: will you play the gender card on them. Here is what you did: Instead of realizing that I was being _very_ sympathetic to a more diverse Linux development environment by using the phrase "the old boys club", you pretended to take offense, not realizing you're in fact becoming a liability. That's okay. Honest mistake. Speaking of this "club"... When will someone review my "uasp.c" driver? It didn't even get a a review. Will it make it into Linux? Or will you and Willy, both from Intel, insist on keeping uas.c instead? For a review, I have a branch called "free-linux" which includes that driver. It is here: https://github.com/ltuikov/linux-2.6.git. The driver is pretty much the same as I posted it here last year. There is a more diverse Linux environment for you. :-) Luben -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
