hi,
FYI:
Greetings Chaos!
Women have contributed a lot to the development of electronics and
computer science, but have received little recognition for their
scientific achievements. This lack of visibility for remarkable women in
tech leads to the misperception that computing is a domain of men. It is
not.
At the last congress, many of you helped reduce this visibility gap by
creating memorials for notable women in science and engineering.
This year, we want to do it again. Bigger, better, more publicity and
even more memorials! We need your help!
How about creating a memorial yourself for the upcoming congress? Have
any connections or ideas for marketing and publicity? We are considering
scavenger hunts, self-organized guided tours and stamps for your
Hacker's Passport.
We welcome your participation whatever it might be!

We are currently in the process of documenting last year's memorials and
are looking for more photos. Do you have any? Please send us an e-mail
to anmeldung@haecksen.org.
To find out how to create a new memorial of your own go to

Everyone is welcome to participate. To get started send an email to
anmeldung@haecksen.org (this helps avoid duplications and directly
answer your questions).
Do you know anyone or any other groups who might be interested in
contributing to this project? Feel free to forward this mail!
