The SE Linux project has been active for 14 years.  People have given lectures 
about it at many (all?) major Linux conferences (I've done OLS, LCA, and Linux 
Kongress).  Articles have been written about it in many (all?) major Linux 
magazines (I've done Linux Journal).  It's a default feature in Fedora and 
RHEL and available in other distributions as well.  Blog posts about it can be 
seen on most of the major Linux Planet feeds.

I don't think that we have a lack of visibility.

Judging by names I've seen on these mailing lists and people I've met it seems 
obvious to me that the proportion of female developers in the SE Linux project 
is significantly lower than what you see in proprietary software development.  
I think this is a problem we should try to solve.

Also this isn't just about female developers, when one minority group is 
treated badly members of others won't expect to be treated well either.
