Girl Geek

While browsing the Tech-Ed 2006, I have found about Girly Geekdom, a blog hold by Sarah Blow to provide information and organize events on girl in IT. They are organizing a dinner at Tech-Ed and I will probably be joining them.

Also, I've been thinking for a while about organizing some sort of community of Girls in Technology but then realize I don't know any other women in IT :(

The list of attendees at the Geek Girl Dinner at Barcelona contains some Spanish names, so it will be an opportunity to meet real "peers": female, geek and Spanish!
