The only way to *really* fix this is for everyone to encourage their female colleagues/students/friends/enemies/frenemies to start using, and eventually contributing to Sage. This is a lot easier from my more pedagogically-focused context, but of course such people also are markedly less likely to become developers. This is part of a larger societal picture in math and CS that Sage cannot (by itself, that is) fix. >
Just a big shout out here to the hard work of All Deines and Jen Balakrishnan and others for organizing at least five women encouraging sage days workshops, and to Microsoft Research and Beatrice York fund for fully funding all of them. And there will be many more to come! > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
