I added a section on the right titled "Links & Resources". Over the past few months, I have been scouring the internet for useful websites and previous research papers to assist me with my paper. These are just some of them. A lot of them are pretty entertaining reads.

The "HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux" actually had me laughing the entire way through. It reminded me of my first time walking into an ALUG (Appalachian Linux Users Group) meeting, even though I knew about 25% of the guys there. I was a freshman in college and had never been to a meeting like this and was not sure what to expect. I don't think they were expecting me, either.

It's funny because I went to an OSUM (Open Source University Meet-up, formerly ALUG) meeting last week and the same thing happened. Since 99% of the old ALUG guys are graduated, there is a whole new crowd of members. I only knew about 2 of them this time around, one of which is no longer a student and is actually the club's faculty advisor.

I heard that when I left, someone mentioned that they thought I was lost when I entered the meeting. I also heard, "THERE'S A GIRL HERE!," when another guy came in late.

I admit it was funny and situations like those are the ones that make this field that much more entertaining for [some] girls, but I also wanted to shove that wiki down his throat and yell at him.
