Via a reference today from the AYE blog [1], I came across a very interesting page on the AYE Wiki called "Musings on Women in IT [2]," including many excellent comments that follow Johanna Rothman's original post.

I believe posting to the AYE Wiki is limited to people who are attending the conference, so feel free to add additional comments here.

Speaking of the AYE conference, I'll be attending the November 2006 conference, so please do let me know if you are a developer.* readers who is planning to attend. I'd love to say Hi in person.

Also, if you like what you see in the comments to the above-linked post, you might check out Jerry Weinberg's SHAPE forum [3], which is a moderated, private, subscription-only discussion forum that is full of interesting people; there is a great deal of overlap between SHAPE members and AYE attendees. The SHAPE forum has also produced a couple books, Roundtable on Project Management: A SHAPE Forum Dialogue [4] and Roundtable on Technical Leadership: A SHAPE Forum Dialogue [5]. If you get addicted to SHAPE, be sure to come back to developer.* for visits. :-)

Thanks for reading,
Dan
