Hi Ann, Thanks for subscribing. Last week, in support of Ada Lovelace Day*, we invited all women who work in media arts and net art to join the Netbehaviour list and tell us about their work and that of other women who have inspired them in their own practice.
The call is open for a week between 23rd and 30th March (at midnight) at which point we will compile the list and feature it on Furtherfield.org Posts are welcome in any length, format and frequency and we are not worrying about repeats or gaps. We want to know why you are inspired by the people you are inspired by. It's especially good if you can include links so that if we don't know the work we can go and explore for ourselves. If you want to view all the other inspiring posts before you make your own you can check out the Netbehaviour archives http://www.netbehaviour.org/pipermail/netbehaviour/ **Ada Lovelace Day -bringing women in technology to the fore http://findingada.com/blog/2009/01/05/ada-lovelace-day/ sign a pledge to blog about inspirational women in tech on 24th March. Hope this helps, best things Ruth http://furtherfield.org -----Original Message----- From: Anne Roth <[email protected]> Reply-To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity <[email protected]> To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] ada lovelace day Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 23:14:06 +0100 Hi, I feel a bit awkward, but still.. somewhere in the many things I read about Ada Lovelace day it said that all those who blogged about <women and tech> should subscribe to this list. I did (write and subscribe) and now am confused. What are we to do? Send the names of those we wrote about? And then what is going to happen? Is it only about names, or about the blog posts? Mine is in German: does that make sense? Sorry for the confusion!
