Jonas, I also found it difficult to start my blog post. I think mainly because I’m used to writing about whatever comes to my mind and not about a subject that someone else has decided on.

I was going to say that I’m sure that you will find inspiration for your post, and it seems that I’m right as I have just read your post.

Thank you for your kind words.

This is the first blog post I am reading today. It is Wednesday and more importantly it is Ada Lovelace Day.

I am somewhat blank on what to write, I was thinking about writing about hackers and hacking and the evaluation of individuals based on merits rather than age, nationality, race and gender – an important trait of the open source community and Internet in general, which we should emphasize more.

But perhaps it is better to write something along the lines of what you wrote, pick a female in tech and write a presentation of her – after all there are quite a few to pick from, perhaps not in number, but in merits and they all stand out.

My only worry is that I would not be able to give such a precise and nice presentation as you did of Jacinta Richardson.

Happy Ada Lovelace Day,
