Join you in shouting out to the Sisters of CETIS including all the women I’ve met working in the wider JISC and repositories communities. I recently participated in some academic research on women working in tech-dom. What I’ve observed over the past 9 years is that, the more established JISC and CETIS get (as the empire beds down and expands) the less friendly it gets for women. Also, the higher women go in the hierarchy and the more powerful and successful we become, the less friendly it gets for us. No surprises there, of course, but I hope we keep supporting each other as we always have done, and also keep mentoring new women coming into our professional community. Shout-out to Natalie Kerracher while I’m on it: one of Intrallect’s software developers, and one of a cohort studying computer science recently that included so many women they had an all-women project group that apparently came top-of-the-class!
