[Osmf-talk] Reaching out and diversity (Was: Re: AGM and board elections)

[Kate Chapman]

Hi Martin,

What you are asking me for is problematic.  Pointing out specific sexism on
the mailing lists could easily lead to backlash from those speaking that
way. Unfortunately the Internet is not a safe place for women or many types
of minorities these days. I honestly thought for quite a while before
evening sending my email. I doubt many women within OSM would be willing to
share that information.
