She's Such a Geek
Following this post on Boing Boing I followed it to this Call for subs: She's Such a Geek. One of the things that has interested me is that our little corner of geekdom at CONvergence has managed to do a fairly decent job in having both male and female involvement.
But I've also seen (and to be honest, have been a part of) geek groups that haven't been particularly good at adapting to women being involved at all as well, and I'm not even sure it's a conscious decision on anyone's part either.
It'll be interesting to see some of the essays...especially as I'm always intrigued by the different cross-sections from both the IT career perspective as well as the hobby-and-cultural perspective.
