Reminder: Ada Lovelace Day March 24th
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Thanks to Mary Gardiner for this reminder:
"Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging to draw attention to women excelling in technology.
"Women’s contributions often go unacknowledged, their innovations seldom mentioned, their faces rarely recognised. We want you to tell the world about these unsung heroines. Entrepreneurs, innovators, sysadmins, programmers, designers, games developers, hardware experts, tech journalists, tech consultants. The list of tech-related careers is endless.
"To take part All you need to do is sign the pledge, pick your tech heroine and then publish your blog post any time on Tuesday 24th March 2009. It doesn’t matter how new or old your blog is, what gender you are, what language you blog in, or what you normally blog about – everyone is invited."
