Women in Technology. ⇒

   14 May 2014, mid-afternoon

I recently attended a panel discussion about women in technology. The fun thing about this panel’s thought leaders was how they were all men. I assumed this controversial choice was a canny move on the organizer’s part: You wouldn’t just invite four men to sit on an elevated platform and talk down to an audience of women unless you knew the men had something meaningful to say. Right? No one would create such an event unless they were positive they could execute something with powerful value-add. Foolishly inoculated by this trust, a colleague and I spent the day of the panel writing questions we (wrongly / naively / tragically) hoped would be hilariously obsolete. I’m passing along some of those questions now, in the hopes of helping any other women in technology.

This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
