Danese Cooper Interview & Women at OSCON

ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
O'Reilly Radar's James Turner recently interviewed Danese Cooper: Making Government Transparent Using R. Danese talks about our new administration and creating a more transparent government, her role with R and Revolution Computing, and OSCON. It's a great interview, so check it out.
James asked Danese what talks she plans to see at OSCON, and she said that Deborah Bryant's panel, Bureaucrats, Technocrats and Policy Cats: How the Government is turning to Open Source, and Why, should be a good one.
If you want to see Danese talk at OSCON, check out her Open Source/Open Government talk on July 22.
Other women OSCON speakers include Cat Allman, Valeria Aurora, Addison Berry, Silona Bonewald, Selena Deckelmann, Leslie Hawthorn, Emma Jane Hogbin, Allyson Klein, Regina Obe, Akkana Peck, Stormy Peters, Allison Randal, Jacinta Richardson, Kirrily Robert, Ixchel Ruiz, Karen Sandler, Esther Schindler, Laura Thomson, Beth Tibbits, Kelaine Vargas, Elaine Wherry, and Saill White.
