Sarah is my most favorite person in the world. I made critical comments on
her blog once when she went crazy on Linus which she deleted. I must be a

Maybe we should suggest she should use PostgreSQL for that and demonstrate
our fancy stat functions.

She won Red Hat Woman of the Year Award -

Am I the only one concerned about some of the women role models we have in
