RACHEL ANDREW’S NEW WEB HISTORIES PROJECT INCLUDES YOURS TRULY

Rachel Andrew has a new project to record some of the early histories of
underrepresented folks from the web development world. She calls the project Web
Histories. I was delighted that she called on me to tell my story.

I hope you’ll take a minute to read about my contributions to web design.

Rachel explains that she, “intends this site to become a place to gather the
stories of the efforts to create an open web. I’m starting with some of the
early stories.” She provides a way for you to participate by taking a survey
about the early history of the industry.

I seldom get recognized or remembered in the web design world, so I’m grateful
to Rachel for thinking of me and including me in the project.

Go support her efforts, folks.

MY WISH LIST FOR GUTENBERG

I’m using the new Gutenberg editor for WordPress happily and successfully. I
have a couple of issues, however. I was told to submit them on Github, but I
have no idea how or where to do that, so I’m just leaving it here. I hope
someone is listening.

DINNER WITH JETPACK

The head of the Jetpack team lives in Albuquerque. I live in Albuquerque. When
the Jetpack group got together for a meetup of their own in Albuquerque, they
decided to invite the entire WordPress community to a Dinner with Jetpack
meetup.

The meetup was in a Thai restaurant near the UNM campus. Jetpack people from all
over were there. Australia, Argentina, and several other far-flung locations. I
talked with the guy from Australia about ways Jetpack could get Pinterest to
work with WordPress without adding blocks of code to new posts. He gave me some
ideas I will try.

I talked to a woman from Wyoming who works in HR and hired all these Jetpackers.
She came down to ABQ to meet them in person.

It’s refreshing to go to a WordPress meetup, but this one was particularly nice
because so many people came. I talked to bloggers, WordPress developers, and
WordCamp organizers. I saw some former students. I saw people I’d met at
WordCamps. I even saw a woman who was in the same hotel in Chicago as a BlogHer
convention I attended and happened to be on the same plane home that I was on.
Everyone wanted to talk about blogging and social media and topics I love.

Thanks to the Albuquerque WordPress community for a great evening.

CODE: DEBUGGING THE GENDER GAP



Robin Hauser Reynolds, the Director/Producer of CODE interviews Kimberly Bryant,
Founder & CEO Black Girls Code



A film many instructors may want to use in class or tell students to watch is
now widely available. The film is the documentary Code: Debugging the Gender
Gap. You can find it on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Vimeo, and TV on demand. It
will be available to stream on Netflix in 2017.

The film explores how cultural mindsets, stereotypes, educational hurdles and
sexism all play roles in keeping the number of women and minorities in software
engineering jobs low. It has screened in 47 countries and at over 400 companies
and organizations, including The White House.

“We are thrilled that CODE continues to have impact on audiences across all
industries worldwide, and that we’ll have the chance to reach so many more when
it begins streaming on Netflix next year,” said Director and Producer Robin
Hauser. “Our hope is that it continues to open up conversations about what we
would all gain from having more women and minorities code.”



Diretor Robin Hauser Reynolds, interviews Megan Smith, Chief Technology Officer
of the United States during the Obama Admistration



Code: Debugging the Gender Gap includes interviews with employees at Yelp,
Facebook, Google, and Pinterest, among others, and explores how cultural
mindsets, stereotypes, educational hurdles and sexism all play roles in keeping
the number of women and minorities in software engineering jobs low – and what
can be done to change this.

GIRLS WHO CODE RELEASES GIRLS WHO CODE LOOP

This press release came in from Girls Who Code today. Since I’ve been reading
SuperBetter: The Power of Living Gamefullyby Jane McGonigal lately, I can see
that the Girls Who Code people have taken the idea of gamefulness and put it
into a useful app that will help develop young women in tech. Here’s the press:

Girls Who Code, the national nonprofit working to close the gender gap in
technology, today released Girls Who Code Loop, the first-ever app custom-built
for its community. The app helps the Girls Who Code sisterhood of students and
alumni stay in the loop and support each other. It’s available to download for
free on iOS and Android.

In the app, girls can join discussion “loops” based on their interests,
location, or Girls Who Code program. They can post and comment about everything
from coding to college and jobs or internships — all in a fun and respectful
space custom-built for them. Girls can also learn about events and opportunities
in their area, tag a post with a “Raised Hand” to get help from the community,
and keep up with old friends or make new ones who share their connection with
Girls Who Code. To learn how to use the app, watch the “Introducing Girls Who
Code Loop” video on YouTube.

The app name refers to the computer science concept of a “loop,” one of the
Core4 computer science concepts that all Girls Who Code students learn. A loop
tells a computer to repeat a sequence of instructions. Girls Who Code Loop is
available to current students and graduates of Girls Who Code programs, Clubs
Facilitators, and Summer Immersion Program teaching teams. You must be thirteen
years of age or older to use this app.

“Girls Who Code will reach 40,000 girls by the end of the academic year, and one
thing we’ve learned in the process is that community matters. Girls need
community and support from their peers to maintain and persist in computer
science.” said Girls Who Code Founder and CEO, Reshma Saujani. “In fact, social
encouragement and female role models are two of the most important factors
influencing a girl’s decision to pursue computer science. With Girls Who Code
Loop, we’re providing a platform for our girls to build connections and
encourage each other to pursue a future in computer science.”

Through its programs, Girls Who Code is building the largest pipeline of future
female engineers in the United States. The release is part of a broader Girls
Who Code Alumni Program that launched in 2015 with commitments of nearly $3
Million from AT&T, Adobe, and the Prudential Foundation to grow the tech talent
pipeline for women. In addition to Girls Who Code Loop, Girls Who Code has also
launched #HireMe, a job and internship board that connects its alumni to
opportunities with more than 60 major US companies.

Girls Who Code created the app in partnership with Small Planet, a New
York-based agency specializing in iOS and Android development.


ABOUT GIRLS WHO CODE

Girls Who Code is a national non-profit organization working to close the gender
gap in technology. Through its Summer Immersion Program and Girls Who Code
Clubs, the organization is leading the movement to inspire, educate, and equip
young women with the computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities.

> In the film, Griffin knits together a narrative by mining dozens of
> conversations with important figures from throughout the web’s history
> including Jeffrey Zeldman, Denise Jacobs, Tim Berners-Lee, Ethan Marcotte,
> Chris Wilson, Lyza Danger Gardner, Eric Meyer, Irene Au, Alex Russell, Trent

Thanks to Eric Meyer for mentioning this documentary on Facebook, otherwise I

become aware of the film.
