As an entirely separate matter, lack of constant vigilance will undoubtedly lead to a preponderance of names of dead white males if you use such categories as names in computer history (despite the importance of, say, Lovelace and Hopper) and composers (dominated by white men during the entirety of the history of Western art music). Given the pervasive problems of sexism in computing (including free software/open source) that would, I think, be potentially problematic. - RF _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
