Happy International Women's Day!
Our LISA'12 Conference Chair, Carolyn Rowland, recently wrote a couple of blog posts about women in the sys admin community:
Is the sysadmin community inviting to women?
What can the sysadmin community do to be more inclusive of women?
Carolyn writes:
Maybe what we need is outreach by the women who are part of the community? Successful women who have found their way can extend a hand to their peers who haven't made it through the door yet.
- Feel free to contact me if you want to give the LISA conference a chance. I'd be happy to be your first contact at LISA so you go to the conference knowing someone.
- I'm also available to assist with paper submissions.
- I also plan to have a women of sysadmin birds of a feather (BOF) session on Wednesday to allow all of us to make some connections within the community.
If you are a student, consider applying for a student grant.
