Hello,
My name is Jeanine Swatton. I am an entrepreneur, software engineer, and Ruby on Rails developer as well as an instructor. I was shocked to read those numbers. However, women engineer only make up 18% of the tech industry.
What I plan on doing is holding a hackathon in order to encourage women to contribute to wikipedia.

Cool! I think now we have people talking about women's workshops in SF, NYC and India (India is a bit bigger area than the other two :P )
