Dear glugers,
There is a documentary that has been rolled out slowly in the last
year:
"Code: Debugging the Gender Gap". It looks in to the problem of
so few
women going into computer science.
The trailer is here:

Among other people interviewd, former Santa Fe Institute hacker
Adam
Messinger (now CTO at Twitter) is one of the people interviewed on
the
sad situation of women in software engineering.
I have been hoping to arrange a screening in Santa Fe for some
time, and
they are finally going unlimited.
Anyone have thoughts/ideas on what's the best way to screen this
and how
to get software-engineering/IT workers and managers to come see
it?
I am also interested in seeing if parents of girls might be
motivated to
think of their daughters for programming courses and not just
their
sons. I wonder if viewing the documentary might help.
