On: Getting Young Women Interested In Open Source

Hi, Nixie!
I'm not your fan or a regular watcher, but I do like your videos, it's just I happen to get information faster from other sources and most of your videos are more interesting to novices in the world of open-source. All that aside, I very much appreciate your choice of a job. You risked an entrance in this not so welcoming waters and succeeded. Keep up! :)

If you don't mind, I'll give a couple friendly advices (if you mind, just don't read past this line ;) )

1. Don't be discouraged by the trolls, only pay attention to constructive criticisms.
2. Don't force yourself, if the topic you're thinking on making a video about does not excite you, you won't excite your viewers, too, the video will be watchable at best, better to wait for a right topic or even the right moment—maybe today's boring stuff will show you its hidden gems tomorrow ;)
3. As for the gender stuff, at least try not to be upset about it, morons will die out eventually (I hope :D) and it's bad to be angry at endangered species :)
