Fwd: from Diana McCarty of Faces I would love to include the following people and initiatives in the Ada Lovelace Day compilation! The women that do this work and these projects are great and inspiring. They have meant a lot to me! Shamelessly I include one of the projects I work on - Faces, because hey, it is all about women that do Gender, Art and Technology projects.
For her amazing work combining feminist concepts in technological models and her work with illustrating how important the construction of knowledge is: She informs just about everything that I do! Prof. Dr. Heidi Schelhowe http://dimeb.informatik.uni-bremen.de/content/view/307/138/ Her work as a computer scientist is incredible. She asks the right questions and is a constant challenge to some very dangerous assumptions about privacy. Seda Guerses http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~seda/ For her tireless commitment to working for Women in Technology. She is able to realize elegant participatory models. Uschi Reiter http://www.firstfloor.org/ur/blog/ Her work is incredible - she connects the social with so many aspects of technology. Michelle Teran http://techformance.blogspot.com/ They just got it: their early understanding of what was possible and scary about big daddy mainframe and how to subvert it! VNS Matrix http://lx.sysx.org/vnsmatrix.html Because they rock! Gender Changers http://www.genderchangers.org/ Because they rock! The Eclectic Tech Carnival http://www.eclectictechcarnival.org/ Possibly the only 90's mailing list that can sort out a cup of coffee, a sofa to sleep on and has members that organize their own meetings whenever they get the chance.
