This is what I’m up to today:

Women Who Tech: A TeleSummit for Women in Technology in the non-profit and political world will bring together the most talented and renowned women breaking new ground in technology on Monday, March 31, 2008. The TeleSummit aims to create a supportive network for the vibrant and thriving community of women in technology professions by giving them an open platform to share their talents, experiences and insights via virtual workshops and panel discussions.

Here’s the list of sessions I’ll be attending online today:

• Get Your Local Campaigns On
• Tooting Your Own Horn
• Women and Social Capital
• Open Source for Women
• Improve This Blog Pitch
• Mobile Activism

I meant to blog about this three weeks ago when I registered, but given that I was getting ready for PLA in Minneapolis (which was interesting; just got back last night, posts to follow) and trying to work and live, I just didn’t get a chance to. It’s an opportunity to hang out online with women who do tech things on all sorts of industries, learn about what women are doing with technology to advance their businesses, and just learn stuff that can be transfered to other areas (like, say, librarianship). It’s free, and there might still be some session openings for today, so check out the site if you’re interested. You can also follow the Twitter “back channel” for the conference. I’ll be tagging all my pertinent tweets with #wwt.
