[lugm.org] Demographic of our latest video !

[Loganaden Velvindron]

I would avoid going on that road :)
I think that whether be it a man or a woman, it's either you worked hard to know your stuff or you don't.
In the Linux kernel developer community, we have people like Sharp who worked hard to improve USB. Now, she's working at Intel. 
And that's the KEY point here: Becoming good at Linux and programming involves a lot of time spent learning and practicing. During the Linux heartbleed meetup, we didn't get a single submission, whether from girls or boys. I think that there is a LOT of potential in Mauritius, and particularly in LUGM. 
We need to build the suitable environment for our Linux geeks to rise. Yog's presentation made it all the way to the US, and Avinash's presentation on Flask was equally great.
Both of those 2 people spent a huge amount of their time polishing their elite skills. It's important for our members to grow and become key people of the local IT industry, whether they are women or men.

I am wondering where pritvi is gathering his data. Maybe z coldplayer is mining cold storage stores (maybe? maybe someone will not agree with this point)

I do not agree with this point. Can you name which meetups that have been done outside flying dodo and lambic where the number of women were high. In fact women drink and smoke more than men these days, just have a look on the uom campus. Most women in mauritius have a tendency to just involve in a career and then get married. Though it is a well known fact they code better than men.
Moreever, its the particular language used that is deterent especially when using abusive words.On 28 Oct 2015 11:58 pm, "Raj Julha" <raj.julha at gmail.com> wrote:
