Re: [PLUG] Philly Linux Chix

[kristina clair <kclair@serve.com>]

Hello,

I am very excited about LinuxChix starting in Philadelphia. This by no
means makes me disregard PLUG -- the more resources the better!

I just think it's important to keep in mind that some women can be
intimidated by the very male dominated tech world, and having an
organization that has a little bit of a different energy is very
positive.

As long as the organization doesn't set out to be separatist, I don't
see how its existence could be anything other than beneficial for PLUG.
