It's okay. This is not your fault. Your definition of racism might be wrong but your humanity is still intact and you are still intelligent. I'm here to assist in making you even more humane and even more intelligent (so long as you choose to put the following information to good use). Let's do this.
Before we dive into the true definition of racism, let's first understand the idea of race.
Race is not real. The idea of race is real, and the idea of race is used as a means to describe human variation. The American Anthropological Association has been hosting a project, funded by the National Science Foundation and the Ford Foundation, to try to make sense of this concept—could it be that something that seems so obvious, like the fact that black and white people look different, turns out to be nothing more than a social construct?
The fact that people of difference races sometimes have different hair, body shapes, eyes and complexions does not mean that there are actually a set number of races in the world with a set of traits. It means that humans have evolved to have an infinite variety of traits, and humanity has struggled to categorize and make sense of that variety by creating races.
Human variation is continuous. There is no clear place to pinpoint where race begins and ends. To put it visually, if people were to line up from the bottom of Africa all the way to the top of Scandinavia, there would be no definitive place where one could pinpoint someone's skin color going from black to white. The color variations in skin color are continuous, as is the variation in all other phenotypes.
Human variation is real, but race is not, and society has been using race to describe variation. No matter how we might try, though, human variation does not equal race.
Now that we've cleared that up, it's time for the fun stuff: the real definition of racism.
I'm a fan of the definition laid out by Jane Hill in her book The Everyday Language of White Racism. She describes a split definition of racism, made up of the "folk theory" of racism and the "critical theory" of racism. The folk theory comes out of everyday understandings of the world from everyday people, but even though they come from quote-unquote "normal people," folk theories still have a large influence on real scientific theories and the scholars who create them. The folk theory of racism is what most people, including scientists, think of when defining racism.
According to Hill, there are three parts to the folk theory.
Those who believe in the folk theory believe that race is biological. They believe that a person's race can be traced to a distinct geographical location from which their ancestors come.
Folk theorists believe that racism is an act committed by a racist person against a discreet number of people.
The folk theory believes that racism will naturally go away in the future because of accomplishments against slavery and civil rights for people of color. Folk theorists posit that not acknowledging the color of people's skin is all that it will take to reverse racism and create an equitable world.
While it would be nice to believe that race is biological and that racism is only practiced by racists, if we want to actually create an anti-racist future, we need to be cognizant of the critical theory of race and the way it contradicts all three parts of the folk theory.
Human biological variation is due to evolution, but that variation does not coincide with our idea of race. Race is a system humans invented to (poorly) explain human variation. Race is not biological.
Unfortunately, racism is not practiced solely by individual racists. Racism is an institutional system running deep in the veins of the United States (and, for that matter, everywhere). An individual black person with a college degree doesn't have to run into a racist in an alley to be discriminated against—he need only apply for a job. He's less likely to be hired than a white person with a criminal record.
While the idea of colorblindness (I don't see color! I see people.) is one with no ill intentions, it does not help. Refusing to see the color of people's skin erases the struggles that people of color have faced while also enforcing a taboo on talk about race. We can't act like the playing field is level when it isn't. Doing so just contributes to further racism.
So what is the real definition of racism? Racism is a social and political reality, constructed by humans to explain variation but since used to actively oppress people. The folk theory might "feel right," because it's what we were raised with, but the critical theory of race is is the theory cultivated over years by anthropologists and scientists, and I trust it.

233 Cholera Infantum: A disease that occurs, generally, in the Middle States of the Union, in June or July, and continues during hot weather; hence called the 'summer complaint'. The chief symptoms are vomiting, purging of green or yellow matter, slime, or blood, attended with pain or uneasiness, and swelling of the abdomen, with some pyrexia, generally. Differs little from what is vulgarly called the Watery Gripes in England. [Dunglison1874].
A dangerous summer disease of infants, caused by hot weather, bad air, or poor milk, and especially fatal in large cities. [Webster].

I recently founded HelderCom, a business operating on the crossroads of sustainability, communications and social media. Ideally these components are combined to create sustainable communication within a company itself as to the outside world.
HelderCom advises companies on sustainable business practices in relation to marketing communications. I believe that the principles of social media can be utilized to build sustainable relationships with consumers.
HelderCom also writes funding proposals for sustainable projects and manages these projects if necessary.
I am looking for a logo that I can use on my website/blog and also on print materials such as business cards and letterhead.
'Helder' means 'clear' in Dutch (Helder is also my surname) and that is what I strive to be. To communicate in a clear manner. 'Com' stands for 'communication, company, dotCom'. The logo should be able to reflect this.
I am looking for a fresh funky look and feel.
Small companies, non-profit organizations, anyone interested in background stories on sustainability and social media.
I am open for creative ideas.
The logo should look good on a white background. HelderCom should be part of the logo.

Waste management is an area of core business for councils. It encompasses all activities and services that revolve around collecting, disposing and reducing waste. In dealing with waste management, council uses the most effective technologies and methods available while also striving to protect environmental and public health.
All Tasmanian councils run some form of garbage collection and recycling services and operate waste transfer stations and/or landfill sites.
The George Town Council runs landfill and recycling sites at Mt George Road, George Town and Parry's Road, Pipers River.
In southern Tasmania, waste management activities are promoted by the Southern Waste Strategy Authority . This authority involves twelve southern Tasmanian Councils and works to implement a Waste Management Strategy for Southern Tasmania. Details of the Authority's Business Plan and Waste Management Programs are available.

On 24 July, the government released the long-anticipated revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
Setting the emphasis on building new homes, Secretary of State for Communities, the Rt Hon James Brokenshire MP said: "Fundamental to building the homes our country needs is ensuring that our planning system is fit for the future." So where do minerals fit into the revised NPPF?
A typical home is built with 12 tonnes of mortar and 200 tonnes of aggregate (source the Minerals Product Association). Some of this will be recycled or secondary material, but the majority will have been freshly extracted or mined. Government has historically understood that the production of aggregates and cement (as well as a myriad of other industrial minerals) is therefore essential to the economy.
The planning system is the key regulatory control of quarries and mines. It was therefore a significant concern to the industry in March this year to see that the wording in the consultation draft of the NPPF downplayed the importance of minerals. There was much relief to see that this was corrected in the final draft.
The NPPF recognises that it is essential that there is a sufficient supply of minerals to provide the infrastructure, buildings, energy and goods that the country needs (paragraph 203).
The NPPF requires that decision-makers determining applications for new quarries give 'great weight' to the benefits of mineral extraction. Instructions to apply 'great weight' are not readily given, which means new mineral applications are in the same company as applications for schools and the protection of National Parks, AONBs, and heritage assets.
Mineral reserves and the infrastructure necessary to deliver minerals to market will continue to be safeguarded. Existing quarries and mineral processing facilities now also benefit from the 'agent of change' protection.
This means that new development will be integrated effectively with existing minerals operations, meaning that existing businesses are not to be unreasonably restricted by development permitted after they were established. Any amenity impact arising from an existing business should be mitigated by the new development. This is not a licence to cause noise or dust pollution for mineral operators, rather a re-setting of the 'I was here first' principle.
In the 2012 NPPG mineral planning authorities set out to 'make provision' for the maintenance of landbanks of at least 7 years for sand and gravel and 10 years for crushed rock. The new NPPF is more explicit, requiring that mineral planning authorities maintain those landbanks. This is a subtle but important change, placing an ongoing requirement to ensure sufficient mineral landbanks on the planning authorities.
But not all the changes to policy on the supply of minerals are positive. Mineral planning authorities are not now required to take into account the need to secure the supply of a range of types of aggregates, or supplies from various locations relative to markets, or individual permitted sites' production capacity. This will be missed by those mineral operators who were relying on this provision to support their currently undetermined planning applications.
The NPPF also introduced enhanced provisions to protect ancient woodland and veteran trees. Where these are present, development should be refused unless there are 'wholly exceptional reasons' and suitable compensation is offered.
Despite the initial fears generated by the consultation, the revisions to the NPPF will be generally welcomed by the mineral sector.

Take a stand count by taking a diagonal path through the field and stop every 75 feet (or another predetermined amount of steps).
Evaluate the stand by counting the number of plants in 1/1000 of an acre (17' 5" in 30 inch rows) in several areas of the field, then find the average plant population per acre.
Burrus provides an easy to use Replanting Yield Projection Chart on their website.
This chart allows you to make replant decisions by giving you an expected percent of maximum yield based on various planting dates and plant populations per acre.
Line A, B, and C rows at the top of the page represent Burrus hybrids that have been placed in A (high), B (moderate), or C (low) planting rate categories. If you are not sure about the planting rate of the hybrid that you planting, you can go to the Corn Planting Rates chart.
For example, if you planted a "B hybrid" on April 20th, and had an average plant population of 25,000, you can still expect to have 97% maximum yield potential, so there is no need to replant, because if you replanted the same hybrid on May 9th, and had an average plant population of 35,000, you would expect to have a 97% maximum yield potential.
If you have frequent gaps within the corn row, you may want to subtract another 5% from the maximum yield potential.
Another option, is the U of I Mobile Corn Replant Decision Aid.

Q: Proxy on Ubuntu The goal is to have Ubuntu machine act as a proxy for another machine on WAN. What is the simplest way to accomplish that?
To explain in more detail: There are two machines on the same WAN, but one of them can access the Internet and another one can't. It's possible to talk from one machine to another, though. So the point is to set up the proxy server on the Internet-able machine (having Ubuntu installed).
Note: This is not about using one machine as the bridge on the same LAN, that can be done easily, this is a different approach (as i understand it).

A: My scenario involved the same thing with the only exception that the other machine (needing internet) was an Android tablet in my case. I used iptables for routing. It is an easy and out-of-the-box solution on Ubuntu/Debian platforms. Here is a sample routing script that you can run on the internet-enabled machine:
#Instead of ppp0, use the interface you use to access the internet
#Instead of wlan0, use the interface connected to your "internet-needy" machine
#####Enable Forwarding:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

###########Create NAT rules using IPTables
iptables --table nat --delete-chain
iptables --table nat -F
iptables --table nat -X
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o wlan0 -j ACCEPT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o ppp0 -j ACCEPT
###########

#Allow through firewall
iptables -A OUTPUT --out-interface wlan0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT --in-interface wlan0 -j ACCEPT

Once you run this script, your ubuntu machine acts as a router between the internet-needy machine and the internet, forwarding the internet packets to and fro between them.
Just keep in mind that routing happens at a much lower level than proxying and thus is better in performance. The only disadvantage is that you can't do such things as filter out content or user-authentication based on the proxy client. However, if you just want internet-sharing with good performance, I recommend this method.

A: The very easy solution is to install a Proxy server package, such as polipo.  For a single machine serving internet to one other device that is probably all you need to do.
sudo apt-get install polipo
Then just configure the polipo service to allow connections from the other device, for example un-comment and change the following lines in the /etc/polipo/config file:
proxyAddress = "0.0.0.0"
allowedClients = 192.168.56.0/24
Then restart the polipo server to update its configuration:
sudo /etc/init.d/polipo restart
The more complicated part is to convince your other device(s) to use the polipo proxy server.  Setting a proxy depends entirely on the software on the non-directly connected machine.

Serving as an advisor does require and carries a certain amount of responsibility and commitment to the RSO you are advising. These guidelines have been designed to assist you in understanding those responsibilities and commitments.
Your experience in planning and organizing, as well as your broader knowledge of the University community, gives you a proficiency that you can share with the student leaders of your organization. Do not worry if you don't know all the University's policies and procedures, and don't worry if you can't answer all the questions the members of your organization will ask, that's what the CSIL is there for. However, you can provide significant direction for the members of your organization and help them get things accomplished within the University.
The constitution and bylaws can help, but we recommend that you attend regular meetings and meet with the members on a regular basis so you fully understand what the organization does, and what your role(s) can be.
Does this RCO receive University funding? If, so, how and how much?
Do members pay dues or do they raise money through fundraisers?
When RCOs plan events, we encourage advisors to attend any event that requires a Performance Permit, has over 100 attendees or might need University Police supervision. We encourage the advisor to be a part of the planning process as well, so that on the day of the event the advisor already knows all the details.
Anytime an RCO travels, they need to be accompanied by an advisor. If you are unable to attend, please let the RCO know early on in the planning process so they are able to find a chaperone in your absence.
The RCO may NOT travel if there is not a Salisbury University staff or faculty member in attendance.
A graduate assistant is NOT able to chaperone in your absence.
Event Planning Guide - This guide is a great resource for the processes used in the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership (CSIL). If you find you have a question that is not mentioned in this guide, please feel free to contact a staff member at 410-543-6125 or in GSU 125 for further assistance.
RCO Recognition Status- If you are unsure as to whether your organization is recognized, de-recognized, or on the brink of de-recognition, contact someone from SGA for a list of what events have and have not been completed by each RCO.

"Eco-Innovation: Innovation Goes Green" by Momtaj Khanam, Monticha Khammuang et al.
The term "eco-innovation" is thought to be first coined by Claude Fussler and Peter James in their book "Driving Eco-Innovation" in 1996. Fussler and James defined "Eco-Innovation" as new products and process that provide customers and business value while significantly decreasing environmental impacts. However, with the passage of time with increasing concern for sustainable development eco-innovation has started to consider social and institutional aspects as well. A series of terms are used interchangeably with eco-innovation e,g, environmental innovation, innovation for sustainable development and sustainable innovation. Since 2000, environmental innovation is attracting attention to comply with 'Lisbon Objectives' on growth and innovation and the 'Gothenburg priorities' on sustainable development.

Sorenson Unity Center is a special place to the students, staff and families here, and it is an important part of the community in Glendale. Many of the students' claims in our classes refer back to Sorenson and the feeling of ownership they have of this space.
There are many spaces to create art at Sorenson, and all have the potential to reflect the love, community devotion, playfulness and hope for the future that YouthCity students express when developing different 'claims'. My hope is to fill as many spaces as possible with art!
This idea of creating sites of "public memory" is supported by our 'Claimit!' framework, and it has been an exciting challenge to not only talk to students about public art, but to also work to empower them to began to think about themselves as public artists and spokespersons for their community. They ARE Glendale, and it is a beautiful place.
Students work on building and painting cubes, that they will build into five foot tall towers in which to showcase their developed claims.
In the 'Claim It!' project at YouthCity, the younger students have been working on developing their claims. A claim can range from personal to entirely external, from silly to serious. By examining other community members' claims from various public events from the past several months, students are developing a deeper understanding of what it means to claim a space.
This week, we will examine the different spaces at Sorenson Unity Center that could potentially be home to the student's ideas for a public artwork based on the claims we develop together. We will also work on claiming one word and create a zentangle design to showcase this word, with an emphasis on pattern, shape and craftsmanship.
My name is Elisabeth Bunker, and I am one of the community teaching artist for the 'Claim It!' project, part of the OurSLC project. I'm working with a Youth City group of younger students, grades 4-8. The project we develop over the next several months will be installed somewhere around the vicinity of the Sorenson Campus and the Three Creeks Confluence with the Jordan River.
Our classroom at Sorensen Multicultural Center, part of Youth City. Students Dakota, Zack and Fayla work on their claims.
Dakota gets her markers and colored pencils ready to draw!
The students will spend the next several months working on ideas, artwork and projects based on their "claims", which is a framework for helping residents of west side Salt Lake City help define their space in many senses of the word.
Jesus walks into the art room with a quiet respect for space where art is made. I write the prompt on the board: What do you claim in your life? He tells us, he claims his art and that it's the thing that brought him back to school.
In our weekly process to ClaimIt!, some students' artistic dedication and love for the arts has emerged more fully. The ClaimIt! framework recognizes the potential that already exists in students and now allows it to become a mantra. During our classes, we've discussed claiming one's own story, drawings and even recognizing when one's claims can be false or incomplete about others or themselves. Jesus is just one of the students that has used the language of ClaimIt! to make his art and call upon others to perceive the world through his eyes.

Downtown View:City Council Blahs
by Karen Cord Taylor • September 17, 2015 • 0 Comments
So last Tuesday, I go to vote in the city council preliminary election.
I think I'm pretty smart, but not smart enough I guess. There was no election—at least in my precinct. My district city councilor had no opposition. There were not enough candidates running at-large to hold a preliminary election anywhere.
"For an at-large preliminary election, there must be at least at least nine candidates," said Elections Department chair Dion Irish. The preliminary winnows the field down to the eight candidates who will be listed on the ballot for the four at-large seats in the general election. This year only five candidates are running at-large, including incumbents Michael Flaherty, Stephen Murphy, Ayanna Pressley and Michelle Wu. The fifth candidate is Annissa Essaibi-George, a teacher and Dorchester shop owner. No winnowing needed.
Two city councilors, Frank Baker and Timothy McCarthy, faced only one challenger, Donnie Palmer and Jean-Claude Sanon respectively. So these districts did not need a preliminary election either.
Only two district councilors, Charles Yancey and Tito Jackson, had two or more challengers. So in their districts the preliminary was held and reduced the number of candidates to two. Yancey came in a far second behind newcomer Andrea Campbell but will face her in November. Jackson will face Charles Clemons Jr., who came in a distant second.
According to Irish, the turnout was only seven percent of the 78,000 eligible to vote in the two districts, plus me.
Walking home after my failed voting attempt I wondered why there was so little interest this year in running for the city council, no to mention voting.
The official barriers are low. Candidates must be 18 years old and registered to vote. District candidates must have lived in their district for a year. At-large candidates have to live in Boston at the time they apply for nomination papers, which was May 11. They had to fill them out and return them by May 19.
At-large candidates had to gather at least 1,500 registered voters' signatures. District candidates had to submit at least 200. These were due on June 23. Candidates who wanted to withdraw had to do so by June 30.
Pretty straightforward. Since you now know how to do it, you too could run. Two years ago, with a heavily contested mayoral race, there were plenty of city council candidates. What's this year's problem?
Demographics, reduced local news coverage, expanded opportunity for minorities, fewer kids and air conditioning, said attorney Larry DiCara, a city councilor from 1972 through 1981. These factors have reduced interest in local elections.
The people who consistently vote, he observed, are older folks, public employees and political junkies (like him and me.) But the city's population is bifurcated, he said, between poorer residents, who tend not to vote, and up and coming, well educated or wealthy residents who tend to vote only in presidential elections.
Mayoral elections might also attract some of those people. About 140,000 voters turned out for the last mayoral election, DiCara noted. But 255,000 voted in the presidential election the year before. "That's more than 100,000 people who vote only once every four years," he said.
Another factor in a declining interest in the city council is an unfamiliarity with city politics. "The reality is that young people understand national issues, but don't understand what is going on down the street," he said. Part of the reason might be that more Bostonians are from somewhere else, rather than having grown up here.
When DiCara grew up in Boston in the 1950s, "working in campaigns was part of what you did."
Reinforcing the unfamiliarity are the news outlets. When DiCara was on the city council, he remembers the city's newspapers each had three or four reporters covering City Hall at all times, and the radio and television stations were on hand, enjoying what was then a new building with enough electricity and lighting to run their microphones and cameras—not true at old City Hall.
Such coverage meant that Boston residents knew the city councilors and what they did. How many of the 13 city councilors can you name?
No longer is politics the only way up for smart young people. DiCara remembers when Catholics, not to mention other minorities, were unwelcome in the city's law firms. "But now, if you're a bright young person like Deval Patrick, you go to work for Hill and Barlow," he said. "You don't necessarily aspire to be in local politics."
As for air conditioning? DiCara said that in the hot summer months of his youth, everyone sat on stoops because it was cooler there. They knew their neighbors and spent time discussing local matters. Now people are inside, isolated from the others on their block.
Fewer kids is another isolating factor. People often get to know neighbors through their kids, and the number of kids in the city has been declining.
We could hold elections on weekends, provide free air time for candidates, and try other methods to attract voters and candidates. "But I don't know if there is away to make people care about what's going on down the street," DiCara concluded.

Tuesday, August 28, 2001 by Dave Winer.
My summer hiatus is coming to a close, I've been goofing off a bit, doing a little work, and writing a bunch on the Web. Now I want to get the conversation started in DaveNet, so I'm going to pick up a few threads from Scripting News and run them out through email.
On Monday night I watched a poorly executed movie with an incredible cast and an even better plot. I watched it twice just to revel in its mediocrity.
In movies it's not such a big deal. You waste three hours and even then you feel good. In software we waste years, sometimes decades, on poorly executed movies with decent plots.
Microsoft reached a milestone in the shipment of Windows XP -- a golden master disk was delivered to their OEMs, but I wonder if the OS will ship because the antitrust process is also moving forward, and this release presses a lot of antitrust buttons.
With XP, Microsoft has reached the end of the evolution of the twenty-year-old MS-DOS codebase. This is good news because XP, unlike Windows 3.0, 95, 98 and ME, is not a crashy "consumer" OS. This is a major user benefit that so far Microsoft has been reluctant to promote. They should get over it and tell people that the blue screen of death is now part of the past for PC users, much as the C prompt faded away in 1990.
This OS release is also notable in that it does not contain Java, and it does hook into Passport, which is good news if you like the convenience of a centralized storage system, and bad news if you value choice. Once again Microsoft has intermingled code. They could have provided an API. This feature is a major thumb-of-the-nose at the US Department of Justice and the US Court of Appeals, and of course to independent developers. It seems certain that they will end up in court over this.
On a personal note, some Dave-designed software is shipping in XP, in the SOAP 1.1 support which is the underpinning of "Web Services" in XP. I'm proud of this, that SOAP could be part of the future of operating system development is something we dreamed about in 1998, and now appears to be becoming a reality.
Last week I went to JabberCon in Keystone, Colorado. It was great, we invented all kinds of new stuff, but like all geek conferences, the male-to-female ratio was about 50-to-1. On the drive back to Denver I had an idea. There must be conferences where the ratio is reversed. So let's pair conferences? A librarian conference at the same facility as a developer conference. They'd get better software and we'd get more users and kinder feedback? I really like making software for librarians. I wish they knew.
It's demonstrable that the leadership in the software world is male. Most, but not all of the reportage too. And software is developed by men with few exceptions. I'm not saying anything should change, there may be a reason men's minds are better suited to creating complex and dark caves and patiently retrying connections. Evolution created us differently from women.
Now, given that we're a male-only community, never mind why, a bunch of things fall into place. We don't work together. We reinvent each others' wheel. We're all fighting to be recognized. Me me me! We are a bunch of individuals, fighting for our own causes, not seeing the big picture, the benefits of working together. Of course it's this way, because we are men.
Men are the artists of our species, women are the infrastructure. Art and war are the same thing. People overlook the creativity that comes from war, it's painful at a species level, but it's there and really good art is as destructive as war, creating space for new stuff as we reinvent ourselves, at a rapidly accelerating pace.
In the early Web there were domains that were almost exclusively female, such as librarians, as discussed above. Women took the lead in building the early Web. That's how apple.com got on the air. Everywhere I looked were secretaries and librarians, doing the organizing and writing. The Web is a structure of processes and documents. Women get that in a way men don't. Evolution created them that way.
Probably no technology at any point in history had any real amount of feminine energy, but we could do it now because there's been a change. Women have more freedom now than ever before, but it won't get any better if they have to behave like men in order to to be leaders.
We need change in both genders to accomodate changes in technology (mostly birth control, I suspect). We'll do better if each gender can respect the unique capabilities of the other and the same gender. We need art and we need civilization. We've had 20+ years of intense art. Now we need to connect it all together, and we need help to do that, because we're mostly men, and men don't do civilization.
We touched on this, very tangentially, in the closing cocktail party at JabberCon. A Scandanavian man whose name I didn't get said it's like this (cut-throat and destructive) in all other professions, software is no different. I countered by saying that there was continuity in other art-forms that we don't have in software. No one thinks of big corporate bureaucracies as being capable of art in any other area that I know of, not even medicine, or car design (the creative people are at least identifiable).
In software we believe that an entity of 45K people can create things, when if we applied the scientific method, we'd see clearly that they do not. Individuals create things, and at that we've done quite well, all things considered. But we have never consciously decided to have a civilization, and I believe we need to do that in order to have one.
The irony is that our technology is most useful in creating civilization, for sharing knowledge, managing processes, creating connections. Emphatically it's not just a dark cave that's fun to create, over and over; it has applications that can transform civilization.
But today our culture is indisputably ruled by male energy. It's also why we get in trouble over and over. We can never win. This year PC sales are declining while Moore's Law rages on. There's no better way of illustrating the power of our selfish individuality. That we're in trouble now is a very clear indication. Something is seriously wrong here. Something has got to change.
I know these ideas are generalizations, male and female energy come in all kinds of packages. The forces of evolution have been working for millions of years, the changes in our society due to new technology for much less time. These are the things I think, the things I notice, based on a mere 46 years of living. I've been called names, labeled a sexist and an anachronism, but so what. Save yourself the trouble of making it about me, I'm just one person. Think bigger.
I notice that there aren't many women standing beside us, helping us, working with us, in our male-dominated industry. Women seem to listen to other women better than they listen to men, and men don't listen at all.
I envision something greater, more inclusive, more fun. This is my way of expressing that.
I hoped to hear about people's visions, and wanted to share Donna Romer's thoughts on this. She is an entrepreneur-in-residence at the EastWest VentureGroup in Los Angeles.
Dave, I have to say that I read you every day, and while I don't always agree with your views on various topics, I do greatly support the "voice" with which you write and the range of topics you pry open.
I have been writing commercial software for over 20 years, everything from desktop apps to enterprise systems. Over the course of my career, I have typically been the only woman on an all-male team of engineers for most of the projects that I have worked on. My experience has been quite different from what I have read so far from your other readers, particularly on the peer level. Let me emphasize the "P" word. In general, I have found that when there is no hierarchy involved, there is no difference between male and female roles on an engineering team. It is about the size of the group, what you know and your cleverness at solving problems that is important. As soon as there is a strict set of levels for people, then the alpha male dust goes flying in all directions.
At the same time, entrance into that peer group is what this discussion is all about, primarily. The issue is why women are not interested in computing. Well, it may be the same reason why a lot of men find computing unappealing as well. I actually don't think that the reason is "necessarily" a gender one. Try asking a man that you know why the computer industry was not appealing to him for his career choice and you might find some interesting responses.
1. It is too solitary of a profession.
2. I wouldn't like to work in a field where there is only one way of doing things.
3. It seems so dry.
4. It is too logical and not creative.
5. You have to be a control freak.
Strangely, this doesn't sound at all like the work that I have been doing for the last 20 years. Most of the time I have been part of an interactive and wildly social group of people, who each have a point of view for problem solving and system creation. Logical? Some of the most illogical things have been done in the name of computer science. The only one I can't refute is the control freak one -- but then again, there are shades of grey.
Is there a male conspiracy to keep women out of computing? Heck no. But there is a computing gatekeeper in the form of perception that deters a lot of people. Once into the profession, is there discrimination? You betcha! But that is true across the board for women in all professions.
There is no doubt in my mind that gender balanced engineering teams are a very, very good thing. My experience has been that groups are more self-organizing when that happens. It usually means that the normal forms of hierarchy are subverted, and people have a more open form of communication. And as far as I can tell, developing software is all about peer level communication and cooperation within your group, and with your corner of the industry! When I finally moved into technical exec positions and started implementing teams with these characteristics, I was amazed at the "mostly" successful results. People were generally happier and more creative, committed, open minded, etc. when the tone quality of the group is about clarity and cooperation and not politics.
So what can we all do to help our industry keep evolving and be more inclusive? It is not the affirmative action thing that most people offer. Instead, I think that all people involved in software need to look hard at the social groups that we form to do our work. Blow apart the hierarchies, build radically different, self-organizing teams, create groups with extreme communication, share excellence, and then see what is attracted to that structure.
And anyone who gets into positions of technical leadership man or woman, can promote a part of the solution because it is good for everyone.
Thanks for the great story, and congratulations to Ms Romer, who was the first person who responded to the top level, not the details, of what I wrote, or challenged my right to say it.
In case it isn't clear, there was a strategic reason for digging this up. This time around the loop I want to make sure it's not just the destructive and self-important that speak. I want to be sure that people who love The Big Picture have a voice. I don't care if they're from Venus or Mars.
I think the differences between the genders are below the superficial level. So far we've managed to glorify the superficial differences, to the disempowerment of all.
Instead, let's use the new networking tools to open the industry to everyone with a mind who wants to participate, find a new more interesting balance, and then see what happens.
PS: The movie was Pay It Forward starring Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey and Haley Joel Osment.

Recovering Redemption Bible Study guides you through the video teaching sessions from the Recovering Redemption Leader Kit and reinforces the powerful truths in Chandler's teaching. It also provides additional study and reflection on the three most significant parts of each session, helping you to internalize and apply these truths to your life. All of us have a sense of dissatisfaction. And we typically look for solutions in four areas: self, others, the world, and religion. But none of these will satisfy.
Recovering Redemption is about recovering what is lost and broken—our relationship with Jesus—because the gospel is the remedy to fix all things: every struggle, every circumstance, every relationship, everything. In this 12-session study, Matt Chandler explains the implications of the gospel with surprising clarity and striking candor. Those who have been Christ followers for years will find that it helps connect the dots of their faith, serving as a bridge between salvation and maturity. It's also an essential study for new believers.
