> Fedora Community. I'd also

> I plan to further advertise the existence of this

> so you can count on more members showing up soon.
> As the size of the program

> could begin holding meetings.
> In the meantime, if there's something you'd like to
> see happen, you don't
> need to wait or get approval. You can get started
> immediately and let the
> community do what it will with your work. If you
> need anything, let me know.

I am Jeanette Russo, I am a Fedora Core 5 user and I
have been using Linux since RedHat 5.0 back in 97 or
so I believe.
Anyway Linux is mostly a hobby and my preferred OS. I
work as a Novell and Windows Lan Admin but I prefer
Linux on my own systems.
I have been watching the distribution and the Linux
community grow over the last 9 years and it has come a
long way.
Anyway what I would like to see is a growth in the use
of Linux among women. I would like to see us
stratagize how to make this possible.
Thanks
Jeanette A. Russo
