Women in computing: An interview with Leslie Hawthorn (opensource.com) [LWN.net]

Opensource.com has an interview with Leslie Hawthorn about the 2012 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference. "This has been the 3rd year that I've been involved in the Grace Hopper conference. Three years ago, in Atlanta, we had a group of folks come together and decided that it was kind of a bummer that there wasn't a lot of open source related content on the program. So, we got together a program committee and put on a full day of tracks related to contributing to open source software—everything from how you get started as a contributor to different projects you may wish to join, and how to get involved in open source if you're a student (from an academic point of view, how working in open source can enhance your career prospects)."
