Leigh made a great contribution to our understanding of how categories
work,
what they leave out, how they contribute to creating identities... the
technology of 'the system'. She was much more than that - a creative
thinker
whose rich metaphoric presentations gave depth and breadth to a range of
information technology and scientific issues, whose gentle voice belied
strong commitments and whose prose is - and will succeed her as - a plea
for
humanity and a protest against all types of reductionism, through careful
and intelligent analysis. Our research community is today reeling from the
shock of learning that she has just died. It seems apt to commemorate her
with a nomination on Ada Lovelace Day. Her ability to express her
sensibility as a woman was one of her many strengths... and she became well
known for her investigation into the 'invisible' work that makes the world
run, so often supplied by women. I worked alongside her for a couple of
days
in 2007 and it was inspiring. My blog is named for her.

Subject: [NetBehaviour] Ada Lovelace Day, Again! 2010.
Ada Lovelace Day, Again!
Hi Netbehaviourists - It is March 24th, Ada Lovelace Day, Again!
Origianlly conceived by and promoted by Suw Charman-Anderson
(http://suw.org.uk/) as a way of bringing women in technology to the
fore. It succeded in motivating nearly 2000 people to publish a blog
post about a woman in technology whom they admired..
This blog is now open again to anyone to contribute -
http://blog.findingada.com/
We are asking for the Netbehaviour community to get involved again.
Last year we made a successful contribution to their project, sharing
our own contexts from our own community to the project.
http://www.furtherfield.org/ada_lovelace.php
There is a limited time period of 50 hours, and it's ticking away...
How to proceed:
What we'll do is merge everyone's new suggestions to an updated version
of last year's edition. Then add it to furtherfield, like we would for a
review, as well as link it to the Finding Ada Blog, next other people's
thousands of other contributions out there...
How to contribute:
It's easy - you add your own suggestions to a thread/list added by the
last contributor on Netbehaviour.
