women's bof in SF

[Lori S. Grob]

There will be a Women's BOF in SF. The purpose of the BOF is
to discuss the issues that effect women in technical fields
and the general lack of women in these fields. I am particularly
interested in ideas for encouraging more women who are already
in the field to become more involved with and to attend USENIX.
There is also the issue of why there are so few women in technical
and scientific fields and what can USENIX do as an organization
to help correct this.

If there are other issues of women and work that the attendees
want to discuss that will be more than fine.

The BOF is open to anyone who wants to attend. Bring ideas.

Anyone who comes merely to be disruptive will made to stay after
school and write on the blackboard 100 times "I will not make
a fool of myself and alienate people with whom I may have to work someday"
