67 out of 85 SEED participants are matched with mentors so far, 18 days
after starting the matching cycle. That’s 79% matched! I just confirmed
the match of an Engineering Vice President in India with a Staff Engineer in Czech Republic.
From where I sit in California, that sounds very exotic but from their points
of view, they are only 3-1/2 hours apart in timezones. This is like
matching someone in Boston with someone in San Francisco, which doesn’t
sound exotic to me at all.
I also sent in the final version of the “Mentoring by the Numbers” panel submission writeup today for the
Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 2006. Dr. Carol Muller
(of MentorNet), and
Dr. Mary Jean Harrold (of
Georgia Tech), and I will be on the panel. I am very much looking
forward to going to GHC 2006. This will be the third time I have gone
to Hopper and my second panel there. Sun is a GHC Gold Sponsor again.
