Re: [NetBehaviour] How to contribute to [Netbehaviour] ada lovelace day
Hi Ann, Thanks for the contribution: ) Re: Have to say that I was a bit stunned to find myself with mails to this list listed by Google. Wouldn't it be nice to let people know before they are invited to join the list? Thanks for flagging this up. It's a good question that, perhaps surprisingly, hasn't really come up before on this list. We will certainly be clearer about this in future whenever we invite people to join. mails appear in Google because they are archived here http://www.mail-archive.com/netbehaviour@netbehaviour.org/ My feeling is that email discussion lists like NetBehaviour are most valuable when they are used as semi-public fora...like an open debating chamber in which lots of people can participate by stumbling across it, lurking and speaking when the spirit moves them; ) but I recognise that this is a different discussion. Anyway thanks again, Ruth http://furtherfield.org Ruth Catlow schrieb: 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.

Hi Anne, Hey, you aren't making fun of non-anglo accents, are you? No... No, I was thinking more that if people are invited to join the list it would be nice to add a sentence that there is a public archive which is indexed by google. This is definitely worth considering... I probably would have erased my contact info in the mail signature had I known - but that's not a problem really. Basically I just wanted to raise the question and suggest to change that next time. It is an important question and needs to be discussed with users of the list regarding how we should proceed. Once we have dealt with administrating the Ada Lovelace project it may be a good idea to resolve it collaboratively. Much thanks for noticing this :-) marc I think that it should and it does, much thanks :-) Hey, you aren't making fun of non-anglo accents, are you?

Hi, I wouldn't consider myself being active in media or net arts, rather activism. Does that still count? In any case I did an Ada Lovelace blog post - in German - (http://annalist.noblogs.org/post/2009/03/25/ada-lovelace-day-star-simpson-and-donna-metzlar) about * Donna Metzlar, activist and (one of the) driving force(s) with the Genderchangers http://www.genderchangers.org/ and Eclectic Tech Carnival, http://eclectictechcarnival.org/ and * Star Simpson, who was arrested at the Boston Airport (and later convicted) for wearing a hoax device, a selfmade LED application (see http://boingboing.net/2007/09/21/mit-student-arrested.html). She described herself in one sentence as I'm an inventor, artist, engineer, and student, I love to learn, build, and do and here are some of the things she built: http://starbur.st/portfolio/ Have to say that I was a bit stunned to find myself with mails to this list listed by Google.
