[techtalk] women and code

[Annalee Newitz]

Hey chix, I'm a lurker here, and now I'm breaking
lurker silence for a technical question that's mostly
sociological rather than systems-related. :)

I'm working on an article for Wired mag about women
coders, hackers, and hardware experts, and I wondered
if any women here might be willing to talk to me
offlist about their experiences being chix in a world
that the media usually describes as a boys' club. I'm
also very interested in how women define "hacking,"
how you got into tech, and any other stuff that you
want to share . . . 

I'm a San Francisco journalist, and if you want to
check out my work, you can see it here:

If you'd be willing to talk, please write me offlist.

Thanks, and sorry to interrupt the discussion.

Yours, Annalee
