The
Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is always an
inspiring and exciting event. The 4-7 October 2006 Hopper conference
in San Diego is of particular interest because this is the first time since
1997 it has been held on the West Coast of the USA. Several of
us at Sun are preparing panel and presentation proposals, due on
15 March. I had fun setting up the “Mentoring and Leadership Grooming:
Technical Women in Industry” panel on mentoring for GHC 2004
and I hope to get a new panel proposal accepted for this year too.
Sun is a Partner of the
Anita Borg Institute which runs the Hopper conference.
