Sexist, homophobic, etc. speech or behavior is less and less tolerated in most serious office environments, not least because it opens up a company to harassment lawsuits. That being the case, I wonder what all the very big serious companies that sponsor the Linux Foundation think about the level of harassment that is apparently tolerated in the communities they sponsor.

Not sure why you are being down voted, I have often wondered this myself. Also, I just posted a link to HN about things preventing up streaming in embedded Linux, I'd say that there are some fairly bad issues preventing people from submitting patches.

I find it strange that Sarah Sharp makes accusations of sexist and homophobic jokes but provides no examples. The mailing list is public after all - should we just take her word for it?
