[MLUG] Mtl All-Girl Hack Night 2.0

[Patricia Campbell]

Interesting and slightly offensive thread (at start), the numbers of women
in ICT have been dropping for years.  No one seems to have a concrete
reason.   I have seen it this drop as a professional and as a teacher.
 If a hackfest for women means that it gets more women involved that is
great, we need men and women in the field.    As Brian said " For some
values of `welcome'."   it is hard to see from another's perspective...
