So I was reading through my twitter feeds and came across one of Craig Burton’s ones asking why there was no rss feed on the O’Reilly women in technology site… More interestingly the site hasn’t been updated for almost a year. Does this mean that the women at O’Reilly got bored of blogging, they were contracted to write for it and contracts weren’t renewed or that they are no longer interested in women and IT. (BTW I know the latter isn’t true, they got in touch last month about Girl Geek Dinners and doing more in the arena… ) Or is it that they haven’t had any new female tech hires in almost 12 months. I’d love to know the story behind this one…
So the big question is why!? Why did it stop, what was the cause… who stopped it. The content was interesting… so it wasn’t that… So who knows… I’m wondering if I’ll hear a response.
Other interesting posts and news articles from today on Women in tech on a more positive note that have been brought to my attention today: (Thanks to Imran Ali)
So it’s not all doom and gloom! 
I wait with interest to find out what the outcome of the O’Reilly site is… Who knows maybe they just forgot about it and it will suddenly revive itself.
