Girls with computers...
Note: the title of this post is inspired by (just in case you've never heard of it):
Artist/Band: Wynonna Judd
Song: Girls With Guitars
Album: Tell Me Why
She’s Got Code

Afra Karim Randhawa is a Pakistani girl with a genius streak. At the age of 9, she became the youngest Microsoft certified professional in the world. Bill Gates wanted to meet her, so they flew her to Redmond, WA, and she proceeded to grill him about the number of women he had working there. According to Afra, there are a lot of women interested in technology in Pakistan and Bill just needs to come to her country and meet them.
Forget Bill. I say we get a whole bunch of women geeks together and go to Pakistan ourselves! Good opportunity for the girls to go over some open source ideas, wouldn’t you say?
