Ada Lovelace Day

Tomorrow is 24 of March and it's celebrated as Ada Lovelace Day. What is Ada Lovelace Day? Taken from the official website:
Why would they should celebrate this? Because sometimes women's achievement are not known or acknowledged by many people around the world and their faces are not recognized even though their contributions are very crutial to the evolution of science itself.

What can you do? So simple. Just go to their website and sign up for the pledge and then write a blog post and publish it on March 24 2010. Last year, there were about 2000 people and this year, they are targetting around 3072 people (i don't know why they give this number) and so far, 1600 people has pledged to contribute to this event. They are still missing 1472 pledges to reach their goals.
