Women in CS

The inclusion of women in the process of software design can provide additional insight that improves software. Call me sexist, but women help diversify design ideas. Women simply see things differently than men in many cases. Not only can women help make adjustments to application functionality that can put more females in their target audience (think pintrest), but they can see additional ways to make a program useful and user friendly. Since computer science is primarily male driven field, it is unfortunate that more women aren't there to help change the programming paradigm.

Linux's progress is slow

The lack of monetary incentive keeps Linux moving at a crawl. People build software for Windows because they know they will make money. Linux has made great progress in its lifetime, but until it finds a way to attract a greater audience, software developers will continue to look elsewhere. A sense of community is not enough of an incentive to justify the time required to write truly impressive software. Unless Linux makes some changes toward reaching a more general audience, they will not attract enough dedicated developers to really make an impact on society.
