The Weekly Writing Update

A bit late, but better late than never.

I didn’t get any writing done for this blog last week, but I did complete an interview for the Geek Feminism Blog on the #LABHR experiment and on Getting Started in Open Source for the Anita Borg Institute. Both posts are forthcoming, and I believe the Getting Started post will run on the Systers blog.

If anyone has suggestions for topics I ought to address, I’d be grateful. Leave a note in the comments section or ping me on Twitter.

In other news, I’ve been really excited about how many expressions of appreciation and gratitude I’ve seen go by on Twitter under the LABHR hashtag. I’ve also counted 15+ “permanent recommendations,” meaning posts on LinkedIn or individual’s blogs. The Twitter shout outs are absolutely amazing, but its my firm hope that we’ll all produce referenceable posts of appreciation that can help folks in their careers in addition to brightening their day.

Here’s a few of my favorite #LABHR recommendations so far:

Many thanks to everyone who has participated in the #LABHR experiment to date. Please keep those recommendations and expressions of gratitude coming!
