GGD e Google

Alexandra Alecu, Software Engineer di Google, racconta sul blog che anche la grande società di cui fa parte è sempre alla ricerca di opportunità di collaborare con organizzazioni che promuovono la diversità e incoraggiano la partecipazione professionale delle donne nella tecnologia.

Come saprete, le Girl Geek Dinners sono un’iniziativa internazionale che fa esattamente questo: ospitare eventi “social” per promuovere il networking tra donne e costruire community con la stessa passione per la tecnologia e altri settori tradizionalmente dominati dagli uomini.

L’interesse da parte di Google si è recentemente manifestato con la sponsorizzazione della Girl Geek Dinner di Amsterdam, dove il relatore principale è stato il famoso matematico (donna) Smeets Ionica.

Google e le GGD condividono o stesso obiettivo: rendere possibile a tutti intraprendere una carriera nel campo della tecnologia, indipendentemente dal sesso. Durante il suo intervento, Alexandra ha delineato le numerose iniziative per promuovere e sostenere la diversità nella tecnologia. Ci sono vari programmi di borse di studio per aiutare gli studenti a perseguire i loro interessi ed incoraggiare più donne ad intraprendere la carriera scientifica, assistendo e partecipando a conferenze di ricerca in tutto il mondo attraverso sovvenzioni per eventi in Europa, Medio Oriente e Africa [info qui].

E in Italia? Quando vedremo Google come main sponsor di una delle nostre cene geek?

YEGgirlgeek: New blog: I kissed a nerd – and I liked it! http://bit.ly/c3o4oG #yeg

I kissed a nerd – and I liked it!

Wow, we’ve been WAY quiet lately.  Sorry ladies and gents. It’s due to the fact that I spent all my energy waxing nerdlitical on The Unknown Studio with Adam and Scott.

If you haven’t heard the podcast yet, I was their guest on Season Two, Episode One – The Brittney Show! We really out-geeked ourselves… even talked Heroes for nearly 10 minutes!  I finally got to do  the Fast Fifteen, which I’ve got to say, makes me feel like I’ve finally made it. (Made it where? I’m not sure…)

I’ve also spent a lot of time playing new boardgames, Dungeons and Dragons, and dreaming about Comic-Con, which is only a few short weeks away! I’m also reading a book on Dungeons and Dragons for ladies, and will be posting about it when I finish. (It will probably be a plane book for the trip to San Diego, so don’t expect it next week!)

Anyways, on my trips around the Internet, I came across this little ditty, which is a parody of Katy Perry’s “I kissed a girl and  I liked it”.

With lines like: “For you I’ll do roleplaying games / And learn to factor” and “I kissed a nerd  just for science”, this parody is pretty fun.  Give it a whirl!

Thanks to Geekologie for the original post on the parody video.
