About LinuxChix

LinuxChix is a world-wide online group supporting women in Linux and Free Software. It was founded in 1999 by Deb Richardson who perceived that many people, particularly women, found existing Linux forums unhelpful and sometimes actively discouraging. At present there are 500–1000 LinuxChix members world-wide, and several very active regional chapters.
