unser Panel auf der HOPE-Konferenz.

Computer science: still a male domain? The
industry has plenty of female role models, such
as Yahoo! boss Marissa Mayer, but few women seem to be following them.
[...]
At last weekend's HOPE 9 (Hackers on Planet
Earth) in New York there were the usual
minimalist queues for the women's lavatories
and a panel to discuss how to get more women to
participate in the hackspaces. During the debate,
a German woman recounted her experiences visiting
hackspaces wherever she travelled. Sometimes, she
said, she could sit for half an hour and no one
would speak to her. The best advice from the
panel organisers, Johannes Grenzfurthner and Sean
Bonner was: stop complaining that there are no
women around and just invite all your friends to
participate. This might work for Young Rewired
State, too: allow kids, male and female, to sign
up in groups as well as individually so that shy
kids would be sure to turn up on the day. And
probably parents would be reassured if all the
sponsoring locations made sure there were women
as well as men acting as leaders.
