Forwarding this to sudoroom in oakland, who also seem to have a fairly good F/M ratio - not 50/50, but better than I've seen in most techie fields. And of course HackerMoms in Berkeley is completely women-run as well.

Hey, Dorks, we're having a discussion about gender diversity in the makerspace and I'm hearing from many east coast spaces that they're about 90/10 Male to Female ratio. Coming from the west coast I don't know if we truly had a higher percentage or not but it sure seemed so. Just so I have some rough numbers, what would some of you who are members of groups like SRL, NIMBY, Crucible, Ship Yard, Noisebridge, and especially the Flaming Lotus Girls. I seem to remember a lot of female participation and leadership. Any guesses?

Thanks.
