[Fedora Women] Introduction

[Máirín Duffy]

Hey, I'm Máirín Duffy; I'm a Fedora Core 5 user and I first started 
using Linux when I was in high school with Red Hat 5.1. One of my major 
goals is to make computers easier for people to use, thus I'm an 
interaction designer with Red Hat. I work on Red Hat Network. [1] I also 
contribute to GNOME and Fedora with some interaction design and graphic 
design [2] in my free time. I'm pretty heavily involved with the Fedora 
Art Team [3] these days.

I am also very interested in helping more women get involved in 
computers in general, although more women specifically in open source 
would be fabulous. ;-) To this end, I co-founded the GNOME Women group 
[4] with Hanna Wallach and am somewhat involved in Linuxchix [5]. I 
agree with Jeanette and think we should try to strategize how to get 
more women involved!
