The Extraordinary Women in Technology

Girly Geekdom in Monday's post writes about a minor change undertaken by someone at .Net Magazine which resulted in a major change of meaning with respect to the participation and contributions by women in technology at a recent London BarCamp.

I wonder if the person at the magazine who made this faux pas was male? And, I wonder if this error may have been an unconscious expression of negative culturally held values and attitudes toward women in technology?

The HUGE issues of respect and equality of acknowledgement regarding the contributions of women in technology... I'm beginning to feel that women in technology are going to have to fight for equal rights and opportunities in the same way that women successfully fought for the right to vote.
