Subject: Re: women in Free Software
Though not directly F/OSS related and likely for a more professional crowd,
my wife enjoys Women in Technology International (WITI) and the IEEE Women
in Engineering (IEE WIE) groups:http://www.witi.com/
http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/committee/women/

IEEE has national mentoring programs that might be of interest to budding
engineers and techies. This clip of "Nerd Girls" just came through my
IEEE.tv email:
