Today is Ada Lovelace Day - over at She's Geeky we blogged about the pledge for today succeeding a few months ago.
Mary Hodder is a good friend and someone I admire a lot for her courage in doing a video startup Dabble as a lone woman founder. She has taught me a lot about technology and has been a good friend for many years.
In the Identity World I am grateful for the other women who have contributed to the field and have been good friends while at conferences - Mary Ruddy and Pam Dingle also both have their own consultancies now.
Eve Maler is a big inspiration for me - I actually found her blog Pushing String and told Drummond who I was working with at the time he had to meet her. I loved the weaving of cross stitch with XML on that blog - the title says it all. It would be a year or two before we finally met - her URL is also cool - XMLGrrl - another "identity super hero"
I love women who work in tech - one of the reasons I founded She's Geeky. We are looking ahead to our next conference April 18th in Northern Virginia (DC Area) that I won't be facilitating because of an invite to an even here in California that has to do with identity.
