Ada Lovelace Day – March 24th

Posted March 12th, 2009 by

This came up on the forums a while ago but this year’s Ada Lovelace Day is very soon, on March 24th. As a celebration of women in technology, there’s a pledge running – where you pledge to publish something on that day about a woman you admire in science or technology.

There are a few of us signed up already, and I hope others will join us too. So that we can share in the excitement, please post a comment here with a link to your post – so we can all read around one another’s and learn about more inspiring women.

    I wrote about Profession Lynn Conway on my Ada Lovelace Day post. She almost single handedly developed technologies which make our modern computing hardware what it is. She is an inspiration!

    I decided to write about Kaity (uberChick). She is a wonderful person that defies all odds and her perseverance is truly inspirational. Here’s my post: http://naramore.net/blog/for-ada-lovelace-day-my-ode-to-uberchick

    I wrote a little bit about Sara Golemon, who helped me “make the leap” from PHP to C and PHP internals.

    I just published my blogpost in which I talk about two women in PHP: Lorna Mitchell (being already an established woman in technology) and Kana Yeh (one of the quickest rising stars in PHP if you ask me):

    I wrote about Quinn Norton, who is a pioneer and journalist in the field of body hacking and functional body modification – someone who takes taboos and makes them mainstream.
