- I'm sure your intentions are good, but imagine the interpretation of someone for whom most interactions of this nature are bad (or at least unrewarding). Who says you're not some lazy pervert hoping to get lots of women to contact him just so he can hit on them? Again, I realize that's probably not you, but given that these kinds of people exist, why would someone take a chance, especially considering how little work you've put into proving your intrinsic motivation? - Thanks for accepting my knee jerk reaction; I expected you to (rightfully) take more offense from it. - I don't think women in tech care for a tweet (it seems impersonal and empty to me), but I could be wrong. Having your twitter handle certainly allows people to gauge how serious you are on the whole about your views though, so I appreciate your openness with it. - I'll submit a pull request to that end when I get a chance, thanks. - You're clearly trying to crowdsource this, but you're not scaffolding enough. Like you said, you're not sitting on your ass wondering what you can do; so what are you doing?

"Again, I realize that's probably not you, but given that these kinds of people exist, why would someone take a chance, especially considering how little work you've put into proving your intrinsic motivation?" I agree, people are shitty. For me, I can't fake passion. I got back from OSCON, met unbelievable engineers that were NOT white and male. So I will admit there is a motivation, I want to work with the best and still live in my hometown of Los Angeles. "Thanks for accepting my knee jerk reaction; I expected you to (rightfully) take more offense from it." You are welcome, while I don't have to agree with you, I still must give you the same respect you have given me. "I don't think women in tech care for a tweet (it seems impersonal and empty to me), but I could be wrong. Having your twitter handle certainly allows people to gauge how serious you are on the whole about your views though, so I appreciate your openness with it." - Sorry but you are wrong. I met plenty of Women passionate about technology at OSCON last week that are looking for help. This isn't a publicity stunt, this is how I feel and I am going to fight for it using the help of the Open Source community. "I'll submit a pull request to that end when I get a chance, thanks." Please do! Make it your own. Just promote diversity that is all I am asking. "You're clearly trying to crowdsource this, but you're not scaffolding enough. Like you said, you're not sitting on your ass wondering what you can do; so what are you doing?" - Answering every one of your questions ;)
