Why are you trying to distract from the content of the article? I don’t know why her hair color is so triggering for you but she has a couple decades working in open source, multiple relevant degrees, is on the CNCF Contributor Strategy TAG, and is talking about some real issues affecting a lot of projects.

If you can’t get over her physical appearance long enough to engage with the topic, it’s healthier to leave the thread and do something else.

I engaged with the article in another comment and did not want to be redundant so I choose a different aspect of the article to discuss which is about why LWN is focusing on "social issues" in open source and how I do not think it is something valuable for LWN to spend time on and lowers their brand.

It's literally impossible for open source development to be an asocial or apolitical endeavor.

That doesn't mean conferences need to be loaded with talks about the community and politics.
