My Data, My Value: 6 Sense Making Diagrams

I was invited to present in the Personal Data Track at the Cloud Identity Summit, 2016 in New Orleans.

This is the talk I gave. It also came with a two sided 11×17 sheet with all 6 diagrams (just below).

Grace Hopper Celebration and Presentation – Ethical Market Models.

By Leave a Comment

In mid-October I had the opportunity to attend the Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing for the first time.

Here is a link to the paper that I presented – MarketModels-GHC Here are the slides

I also had the pleasure of working on a Birds of a Feather Session with Roshi from Google – she works on their identity team and was the one who asked me work on the session with her along with encouraging me submit a proposal for a lighting talk.
We had a great discussion about the internet of things and considering various ideas about what internet of things things…we might invent and how we might identify ourselves to them.
The conference is really a giant job fair for undergaduate women CS majors. There is not a lot there for mid-career women, all of the ones I spoke to felt this way.  I realize if I was a young woman….at a CS department where most everyone is a man.  Attending this event would make me feel like the whole world opened up…and anything was possible.
The event made me more committed to putting energy into helping She’s Geeky expand and serve more cities and more women and particularly those who are at high risk of leaving the industry – those who have been in the industry for around 10 years.
