The exceptions to this in my experience have been very, very few and far between. Unfortunately, the open source community seems to find ways to ridicule, degrade and and belittle women quite often.

I’ve now seen two posts (one from David Gielhufe , and one from Lobo of CiviCRM ) suggesting that I dismissed the extremely positive results for the open source CRM tools (particularly CiviCRM) because the sample wasn’t large, or representative of the sector. To my mind, it bodes well for the open source tools.
