Please do share the info as it's released. I love hearing these stories. Man, I wish Google had been around and running stuff like this when I was a kid. :) Thanks for commenting Leslie, I’m glad there were a lot of girls involved.

There were many women participants in GHOP, and we will be publishing full stats later. I'll let you know when they're available. Anecdotally, we had one family where the two youngest daughters did spectacularly in GHOP and their older sister is applying for Google Summer of Code under the PSF's auspices with hopes that she can work with one of Python's main GHOP mentors, Titus Brown.

This seems like such an intractable problem. Damned if we do and damned if we don't. Google does run fantastic programs for women though and is keenly aware of the under-representation of women in tech positions. http://www.google.com.au/intl/en/anitaborg/ Catherine Lang sent me research indicating that the fact GHOP was a 'contest' may be itself be a factor. I'll email you the report. cheers Donna Sarah – I thought the same thing!!!
