Carl-Daniel what does this have to do with anything?
I placed this under my user page because it is still a draft. Basically, the idea behind this page is to encourage women to become active coreboot developers/users. Compared to other lowlevel free software projects, we have a pretty OK female/male ratio, but since we're developer-starved (in the sense of having enough TODO items to keep everyone busy for more than a year), any way to recruit additional developers seems good to me. Saying that we explicitly welcome participation from women may get us mentioned in a few key blogs and possibly result in increased participation.
I hope the explanation above is sufficient. If not, feel free to ask.

You don't get closer to hw than coreboot, you can barely get geekier than coreboot. What you're hoping for here is as likely to happen as getting hit by lightning, and even when that happens, it's going to be over quickly, so why bother? Why not work on attracting more geeky people who like being close to hw?
