Hi all,
Passing this along from the Ada Initiative.
Cheers,
Deb

The Ada Initiative Census is a periodic survey of women in the open
technology and culture community, designed to âtake the temperatureâ of
womenâs participation in open communities. Our goals are to learn what
projects women are working on, and how women are treated in each community.

The survey takes only 5 minutes to do.  Take the census now!  The
census closes on March 29th, 2011.

Please especially post this on women in open source, open data, and
other open "stuff" mailing lists, blogs, and other forums!

Surely men propagating this sort of stuff is patriarchal and patronising?
