Two different blogs for Ada Lovelace day

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 :)

Ada Lovelace March 24th, Time is running out

I am getting a bit depressed. Maybe it is my cold, maybe I mistakenly stood up a friend at a restaurant because I recorded the wrong date.

I am also depressed because Ada Lovelace day is upon us but not enough folks signed up yet.

Come on people. I can not believe that there are not enough technical women to brag about that is worthy of your attention. I am sure you know someone who made your day, even she may be just a colleague near your cube, slaving away in the Agile drumbeat just like you. Every appreciation counts.

Please go ahead and blog, publicize women technology leaders, contributors, thinkers, doers that you admire, love or simply think that they need a tad more recognition in their lives for what they do.

Please do so. The deadline is coming.
