Will the discussion be centered about changing the name of "man" to "woman"? I must admit, being male, I can fathom not alot of reason for such a BOF. I know I am missing something though and you'll tell me, right? I love self-referential postings... This is a posting questioning the rationale for a BOF for women in Unix which itself constitutes an excellent recommendation for holding such a BOF. I'm not sure why Mr. Ward would be interested in Unix anyway -- as any long-time Usenix groupie could tell him...
