Ada Lovelace, early software programmer, wrote for Charles Babbage's computing machine

Our writers have done this before…this organization provides a great grassroots way to celebrate contributions to science and technology, great way to get your foot in the door and start writing and have some people look at your blogpost! This event’s geared towards having those of all genders celebrate women in technology – which is awesome, and I celebrate everyone of any gender who has made a contribution to scientific research.

Please join us on March 24 for Ada Lovelace Day

Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging (videologging, podcasting, comic drawing etc.!) to draw attention to the achievements of women in technology and science.

Women’s contributions often go unacknowledged, their innovations seldom mentioned, their faces rarely recognised. We want you to tell the world about these unsung heroines, whatever they do. It doesn’t matter how new or old your blog is, what gender you are, what language you blog in, or what you normally blog about – everyone is invited. Just sign the pledge below (click ‘pledge’ after you have completed the reCaptcha) and publish your blog post any time on Wednesday 24th March 2010.
