Hi Rosalyn,
I agree that we should encourage women to step up and mentor other women
at Code4Lib. I also see the pairing of women mentors with women mentees
as fitting into an overall mentorship program, and I would be interested
in collaborating with you and others to help frame it out.

Hi Shaun,
That page was mostly for me to keep track of upgrades, especially with regards
to plugins. Although most of the major upgrades still haven't happened, I don't
know that that page is entirely up-to-date.
Cary contacted me about working on the Drupal upgrade, and I'll work with him
On Tuesday Night I went the the NYTech Meetup. They get 800+ people to come
once a month to watch demos of the latest thing. One of the presentations was
from Hackers Union. I was cringing because it was like a caricature of how to
present an uninviting impression to anyone who wasn't white,
Thanks, Eric. I saw the post about the Hackers Union and wondered who the
real audience is. Too bad it's the same old nonsense.
The motivation you eloquently defined, to reject the fear of code, is also
one that rings true with me. I hope we can continue to live up to it. I
want to make sure

Hey Shaun,
I was actually thinking about some of this this morning, so I'm happy to
see there is someone else out there thinking about the same things.
I like the idea of some type of structure to a program, I wonder if maybe
we could combine Karen's idea of training with a mentorship program.
We need to fear malicious code. To do that, we need to think about all the ways
people can misuse, abuse and attack our systems. We need to cross our t's, dot
our i's, and shine lots of light.

Beautiful, Eric. What a great message: rejecting fear of code.
At a very (very, like 1995 or earlier) early women in tech group meeting
that I attended, one woman talked about fear of code. She described code
as being inherently a simple, logical set of rules to follow, and
illustrated it
Hi,
This sounds like a good idea. If you are looking for expressions of

Thanks Eric and Karen for your postings. This what makes code4lib a
great community. Paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson: When the people fear
the code, there is tyranny. When the code fears the people, there is
liberty.
I replaced government by code.

I like the picture a lot, but I'd take the male/female symbols out of
