Women in Fedora List?

[Joe Brockmeier]

Hey all,

This came to my attention today:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Women#Know_Our_Existing_Women_Contributors

It looks like it was compiled by one or two folks. I'm curious if
we've thought about whether the women listed here _want_ to be
identified specifically as a "woman in Fedora" or if having a
convenient list of women in the project is a Good Idea(TM) since
diversity efforts seem to be a magnet for trolls.

I would be a little chagrined if we had a list like this used against
us to harass people. Is this wise to have a pre-compiled list when the
individuals who are listed were not consulted first?

Thanks,

jzb

Hi Joe,

Thanks for bringing it up.
you are correct, I have added one name apart from self, which I have 
removed now.
Since, I have sent mail to all of them listed here (pointing to [1] ), 
they are aware that they are listed in this list and hence can remove 
their names as per their convince.

Plus, I think (reverse thinking), we can have more people/women as well, 
who wants to be part of this list :)

Regards,
Amita
