Duffy: Women in Advanced Computing 2012 Summit
On her blog, Máirín Duffy has written about four separate talks from the USENIX Women in Advanced Computing 2012 Summit. Included are talks from Leslie Lambert, Vice President & Chief Information Security Officer, Juniper Networks; Emily Gladstone Cole, Operations Architect, Cisco Systems, Inc.; Clea Zolotow, Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM; and Sabrina Farmer, Site Reliabity Engineer, Google Inc. The write-ups are quite thorough and interesting. From Farmer: "In Gmail, if something goes wrong, it’s in the news. You’re responsible for hundreds of millions of people’s email on that team. Her first press interview for Gmail was terrifying, but amazing. The next reporter asked for her by name. Having an outage in the NY Times would be really bad – it’s a very high risk position. You can’t, however, have success without failure – you won’t grow if you don’t fail along the way. It’s how you handle that failure that matters. The worst thing that can happen when you fail is probably not as bad as you think."

Not only are the talk contents excellent, I think note has to be made of the quality of Máirín's summaries. It's not easy to capture a talk as it's being given and her subsequent editing into something that reads so smoothly makes life that much easier for those of us on this side of the screen.

Agreed -- great writeups.
Guys should probably read Clea Zolotow's story.

I'm so happy to see such a positive response from the talks: it's a good sign, I think! Thanks for the nice comments. :)
Anyway, I just finished posting the panel session from WiAC, the URL is here:

It's a panel session that was moderated by Rikki Endsley with:
Really, really interesting topics came up and all of the panelists had some really great advice for men and women alike.
Other than this and the other sessions I blogged from WiAC, there was also a workshop that Cat Allman lead that I have notes on, but I may or may not blog it. (It was a bit free-form and I got pretty into it and neglected note-taking a bit. :( )
