maybe is has been worse, maybe other projects do worse. |

I have been to IRC channels of other distros and went away quickly, yes. |

Still: I use Gentoo for about a year; during that year I have seen many |

cases. |

I was expecting someone to bring up "hugs and kisses" as you say. |

In my impression other technical projects do much better in that regard |
24 |
so it doesn't seem impossible. KDE and Xiph come to my mind: they do |
25 |
better. Our low number of female developers could also be an indicator |
26 |
for the atmosphere in here. |

I wouldn't feel to bad if Gentoo is widely recognized as the |
29 |
distribution with the most friendly community around in 2011. |
