@ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Opens that one specific file labelled "for the next it guy telling you there never were women in it", appends list.  @ljrk @kathol @lisamelton you may be interested in the following resource - Notable Women In Computing Playing Cards Project - https://medium.com/csforall-stories/notable-women-in-computing-playing-cards-project-8c6739ce4494 @ljrk @kathol @lisamelton @jpaulgibson @kathol @lisamelton How could I forget to list Hedy?! She truly lived a life worth putting on the big screen. And not in the least bothersome, thank you! @ljrk @jpaulgibson @kathol @lisamelton No need to wait for the film to be created and put on the big screen. It exists, was on the big screen and is worth seeing. @hackhitchin @jpaulgibson @kathol @lisamelton This is such a great day because I'm learning so much about so many other women or about other resources about them! Thank you! @ljrk @hackhitchin @kathol @lisamelton - thanks to you for highlighting the problem of women being written out of ((computer) science) history. There are many exceptional women in computing, today, who also deserve our thanks. A few examples that come to mind are Emily M Bender, Timnit Gebru, Molly White, Cat Hicks, and Amy J. Ko. @jpaulgibson @ljrk @kathol @lisamelton That's Hedley, dammit! @ljrk @kathol @lisamelton i forgot about sister mary kenneth keller https://onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/on-alumnae-mary-kenneth-keller/ … sorry for disturbing you, if she was already mentioned @jpaulgibson @kathol @lisamelton I don't think she was! I've already used the forms of the notabletechwoman GSheets to add some more women and I think we need to carry on that work – so many yet to go! @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton I'm thinking about adding a Moodle course for my students, keep them coming!  @kathol @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Computing was begun by Ada, "actually . . . " began shortly thereafter.  @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Grace Hopper, the tenacious mathematician who democratized computing by leading the charge for machine-independent programming languages after World War II and Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, the one-woman Google who kept the earliest version of the Internet online. @pele75 @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton ….and the developer of COBOL! Adm Hopper was amazing @pele75 @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Didn't Grace Hopper coin the term bug (after an actual bug caused a bug)? @human3500 @pele75 @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton She taped the actual dead insect into the log book @kelleynnn @pele75 @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Well, she had to tape the bug into the book because the trouble ticket system back then was garbage. @kelleynnn @human3500 @pele75 @ljrk @lisamelton - indeed she did ! and i use it as an example of why all engineers, including software engineers, should keep a log book. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/worlds-first-computer-bug/ @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Dorothy Denning co invented Intrusion detection systems and a huge profile and impact on information security @kramse @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton either dorothy or teresa gave me an early ides paper for reading (i worked upstairs, 3rd deck, e bldg). yes, both changed our world, for the better. @ebw @kramse @ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see “Teresa” mentioned in the thread. Do you mean Teresa Lunt, of Seaviews fame? (For those unfamiliar, Seaviews was a project to make a multilevel-secure database. A very cool project.)  @jpaulgibson @ljrk @lisamelton Liskov is at least remembered as the L in the “SOLID” principles of object oriented design. Nancy Lynch, pioneering theoretician of distributed systems. Nancy Leveson, pioneer of software safety engineering. |
@jpaulgibson @lisamelton To the contrary, keep 'em coming, we need more visibility and I don't know them all. There are soooo many!
