The Role of a Nonprofit In Open Source Development

jrepin writes KDE is among the biggest open source projects which continues to innovate and evolve with the changing times. Often we have seen this particular community create technologies ahead of its time which were later adopted by other projects. The Linux Foundation talked to Lydia Pintscher, the president of the KDE e.V., the nonprofit organization that oversees the legal and financial aspects of the KDE project, to understand the relationship between the community and the organization. We also discussed the challenge of recruiting more women to open source projects and women in the KDE community.

It's almost like there's some sort of additional agenda beyond just interviewing the KDE folks....
Are you serious??? Slashdot clearly is not interested in posting stories about getting more women into computing.
I've been begging them for years to run more stories like that, but the editors always tell me that they just don't generate enough click traffic.
