Last year in this blog, I honored my fellow technical women working on Standards bodies.
On this day, I decided to honor technical women who run and shape up our digital communities.
I will not repeat the contents here. Please read my actual blog in at Force.com website.
My additional honorary mention is Moya Watson. I decided to add her to this personal blog, because she is a community leader inside AND outside her work. I met Moya when she was delivering a presentation internally at SAP before I got to know her. Later on, I attended her talk on web2.0 summit which I had the chance to attend the following year. It was Halloween. She came as a scarecrow and had the spirit to deliver a very creative presentation combined with visuals to her fellow workers in that outfit. The same day I debated whether I should show up at work with Lederhosen (well, this is a German company) for Halloween but chickened out. It was somewhat a conservative place after all.
Moya's energy and creativity is inspiring. She knows how to use the right technology to deliver her message, whether it is creating and drawing attention to No on Prop 8 website, or rallying against SF school teachers getting pink slip via twitter or getting attention to women tech leaders at work. Go Moya! I am very glad to be your friend starting from accidentally walking in to that presentation you gave on Eventus several years ago. For some reason, I think you would have liked the lederhosen outfit, too :)

you're too kind -- yes, that is me blushing.
was it really a scarecrow though? no matter -- half the time when i'm NOT in costume i feel conspicious here anyway.
you should know that YOU are a technical and social goldmine and treasure to all around you -- one of the first i think of when i think of great geeks, any gender.
thank you!
