Ada Lovelace Day - an international day of blogging



Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging to draw attention to women excelling in technology and science. It's now time to pledge your support once more for Ada Lovelace Day, 24th March 2010.

To sign up, please go to http://findingada.com/ and add your details to their brand new pledge website!

They had an amazing day last year with over 1,200 people writing about a woman in technology or science whom they admire. They got lots of coverage in the national press and even appeared on the BBC News Channel. Women's contributions often go unacknowledged, their innovations seldom mentioned, their faces rarely recognised. They wanted you to tell the world about these unsung heroines and you did. Thank you!

But their work is not yet done. This year they want over 3,000 people to sign up to their pledge and to write their tribute to women in tech. This where you come in. Please sign the pledge at http://findingada.com/ and let all your friends know about it.

It doesn't matter how new or old your blog is, what gender you are, what language you blog in, if you do text, audio or video or what you normally blog about - everyone is invited to take part. All you need to do is sign up to the Ada Lovelace Day pledge and then publish your blog post any time on Wednesday 24th March 2010. If you're going to be away that day, feel free to write your post in advance and set your blogging system to publish it that day.
