Two messages in one day! I was reading this article,
http://www.imposemagazine.com/features/art-feminism-edit-a-thon and the part where the author points out that contemporary men get recognized earlier in their careers (and more thoroughly) made me think, "we should do an edit-a-thon in Boston" around all the awesome free software/free cutlure/info-acivists/STEM ladies we can think of.
I can find us a place to do this, if I can get a ballpark number for how many folks would attend.
