The ACM-W (ACM's Women in Computing interest section,
http://women.acm.org/) publishes an irregular newsletter, and they've
put out a call for submissions... this might be a nice informal venue
to highlight some of our research, or a call for participation, or
profile some of our awesome female hackers or similar. Anyone
interested in collaborating on an article?

Hi Everyone,
*Winter Newsletter Posted*
The Winter Newsletter has been posted here:
http://women.acm.org/news/newsletter/newsletter_issues.cfm

Please consider contributing to the ACM-W Summer Newsletter. More

where people can submit abstracts (paragraph) about their proposed
newsletter article on our web form -

Thanks,
Katie Siek and Suzanne Menzel
ACM-W Newsletter Editors
Process
We ask that interested authors submit a proposal/abstract (<400 words)
of their article by 9 May 2011 to give us an idea of the articles
people are interested in writing. If you would prefer to write for the
January newsletter instead of the July newsletter, we will send
another request for proposals in the fall. We will review the articles
and schedule them for the July or January newsletters - this depends
on the amount of proposals we receive and the topics covered so we can
provide ACM-W with a newsletter that has something for everyone. We
will then send out a notification of publication date on 6 June 2011.
For those who are writing for the July newsletter, they will have one
month to write their article in a Google Doc (articles will be
approximately 1000 words). We will review the articles and then send
out some edits for the authors approval on 15 July 2011. Authors can
respond to edits until 22 July 2011. Important Dates
• 9 May 2011 - Submit Proposal/Abstract for Article on online site (here)
• 6 June 2011 - Notification of Article Publication Date
• 6 July 2011 - For the July Newsletter - Complete Articles Due via
google doc and email notification to us
• 15 July 2011 - Edits sent to authors for their approval
• 22 July 2011 - Final edits due/Camera ready
• July 2011 - ACM-W Newsletter released
Possible Newsletter Topics
• What it's like to be a woman in computing as an
undergraduate/graduate student/mother/underrepresented
group/GLBTQI/industry/entrepreneur
• Exciting things your women in computing group are doing to help
broaden participation/do research/have fun
• Awesome research women in computing are doing
• Insightful research about women/diversity in computing
• Interview a great woman in computing (Not sure who to interview
or want to meet someone, but not sure how to connect with them? We can
probably introduce you so you can interview them)
• Anything that you think is relevant
Please note that if parts of a submission have been published
elsewhere, it is the author(s)' responsibility to receive permission
to publish it in the ACM-W newsletter. ACM-W newsletter is not a
peer-reviewed publication, it is an edited newsletter.
