Something to do with there not being enough women in tech, and constantly being overlooked?... So rather than a dismissive 'this isn't interesting topic', i would argue it IS an interesting topic, just not one considered 'deserving' of attention.

For example, on this site we have women working on code (which is very O'R) as well as those working on the impact of tech (e.g. Maz on SNS which is not yet O'R).<br/>Point is this is not women v men but how including both improve knowledge. <br/>Come O'Reilly be a bit less blokey and ladies get in there Agree with others – a useful post.

Who ever controls technology,

Roman emperors ruled the world because they built roads.
Britisher’s —— built ships
Russians —— built spaceships
Americans invented Atom bombs and Americans stills rules the world with Information technology.

I fully agree with skud and think that O’Reilly should develop a group blog.

Open Source gals like Angie Byron are doing awesome things like winning the Google-O’Reilly Open Source Award 2008 for best contributor.

Just came across this blog since it talked about a common interest (innovation and tech)

With regards to “Women + Technology”, I would go with Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingstone Sea gull — people are limited by their own self (and by the society).

So, if you were to say that in Men Vs Women in technology, the winners would be Men — i would say it’s neither because the match is already fixed through our own society.
