KDE Women - Introduction

Hi,

I thought I would write, as I haven't had an mail through 
on the mailing list!!

Well, an Introduction is that I am a 19 year old female 
from the UK, who as been interested in Linux since I was 
17.

I am at the moment concentrating on several projects, the 
first is my PHP and Mysql skills, the second is learning 
to program in C (I haven't yet found an answer to wheather 
or not I'm too old to start learning!! Everyone seems like 
they are 14 year old boys!!), and a website that I hope to 
get up and running soon about Open Source in Schools 
around the world to show people it can be done!!!

I am at the moment a Technician in a secondary school in 
Kent, which I'm afraid doesn't use Linux, though the last 
2 schools I worked at did!! Plus my partner Paul is also 
spreading the word by having Linux server etc at the 
school he works at too.

Sorry if this has bored everyone, if its quiet because 
I've set my communigate pro rules wrong please let me 
know....urmmm...somehow!!

Jo

ps. I did run Mandrake 10, but due to lack of functions 
went back to M9.2.....miss KDE 3.2 now!!!

pps. I would like to help with a project like KDE but feel 
that I lack the programming skills (hence the studying!) 
what would I need to learn, and is there anything I could 
do in the mean time??
