Anita Borg Awards: Call for Nominations
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Here it is, Friday. How did that happen without a single ROSE Blog post? First, IT360 in Toronto, followed by a day catching up on our next magazine issue and then traveling to San Francisco for LugRadio Live. Two different sides of the continent, and two extremely different events. (And let me tell you, LinuxChix are everywhere! At least one stopped by the booth in Toronto.)
As I was doing a quick look for what I missed this week, I ran across the Anita Borg Awards: Call for Nominations. According to the blog post on the NCWIT.org site:
"The Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology (ABI) is now accepting nominations for three of its awards: the Anita Borg Social Impact Award; the Anita Borg Award for Technical Leadership; and the Denice Denton Emerging Leader Award. The awards will be bestowed at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing in Keystone, Colorado, October 1-4, 2008."
You're already online, so start nominating.
