only ugly women have potential to be technical, please do not make me laugh -- a woman in a technical job is just for window dressing, they dont exist, unless they butt ugly.
@roozdan: And come on! I know you've done genetics algorithms, you know when you have a premature local optima how hard it is to get out of! In real life you can not "restart" the simulation, it's the story about the CS industry that started off with male dominance and it has formed it's own male-oriented culture that's not optimal but it's "assumed"! the whole idea behind this conference is to understand this and how to deal with it and how to change it.
I'm so happy that this is the first hit for "technical women" search now! before that there were all jokes about how non-technical girls are.
@roozdan, Roozbeh! what's the discussion about, oh I think I can guess, you're saying girls have to be good to deserve good and don't need to get extra attention and support? did you ask Elham what the talks were about?
I am a technical woman and I love this video! Thank you ABI and SAP, and all of the sponsors of GHC!
I'm tempted to reply to some of the ridiculous comments here, but will not - if nothing else, at least these commenters further validate the cause of raising the profile of women in SET.

@bair41 No, they do not seem to have been dragged. My intuition is that if they are fit in this area, they will already do good and it will have a positive feedback effect. But, if there is something wrong with the issue or there are some barriers, just changing the appearance of the system (i.e. force the system to be in the desired state) does not help (if it does not worsen the situation). To summarize: This should happen by itself, not by force.

I support technical women. I support women in technology. But my feelings tell me that something is wrong here. You are forcing a system to be in another state while that desired state is currently unstable. You are "dragging" the system to a new state and keeping it there with external force. You do not have the foundations for this new state yet. So, the result is what we see. Summary: I believe that dragging women in these fields does not work. The foundations should be changed.

@roozdan -- you had to be there. The energy and excitement was palpable. Consider moving out of your comfort zone next year by attending!

@roozdan... do the women in the video look like someone dragged them into technology?
silly.
