[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Gender Question

[Deb Bergeron]

I ran across a posting the other day suggesting that women interested in 
open-source solutions use OSS solutions developed by women.

Ok, I admit I'm naive here--is there a gender gap in OSS development?  
Can someone chime in on why this would be a suggestion or even a serious 
consideration? Perhaps the suggestion is sarcasm?  Why not just work 
with existing OSS developers, be they men or women?

Thanks for any insight.

Deb
