For quite some time now Linux and FOSS vlogger Nixie Pixel, has been bringing videos about Linux, FOSS, and more to many a thirsty geek. Finally, after a mysterious absence of one year, the vlog darling returns to YouTube.
If you're not familiar with her, she has two channels on YouTube:
NixieDoesLinux, and "OS.ALT. The second of which covers the indie/hacking/geek community, including open source alternatives to operating systems and gaming."

Honestly, I think a lot of her popularity comes from being a female (and an attractive one at that). So she's probably got nerdy guys lusting after her, but also (and far more importantly) she could very well have other young girls/women watching her videos, which is a good thing. There is a distinct lack of women in tech (both professions and hobbies), and having someone like this as a virtual "mentor" can be helpful to young girls who might have some interests in this direction. They're a lot more likely to pursue those interests if they see another woman encouraging her, rather than a bunch of guys.
