is an international day of blogging to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science. Raising the profile of woman already doing a stella job in the industry, will hopefully spur others to consider a career in technology.

The first Ada Lovelace Day was held on 24th march 2009 and was a huge success. It attracted nearly 2000 signatories to the pledge and 2000 more people who signed up on Facebook. Over 1200 people added their post URL to the Ada Lovelace Day 2009 mash-up. The day itself was covered by ´óÏó´«Ã½ News Channel, ´óÏó´«Ã½.co.uk, Radio 5 Live, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Metro, Computer Weekly, and VNUnet, as well as hundreds of blogs worldwide.

The 2010 Ada Lovelace Day will again be held on 24th March and the target is to get 3072 people to sign the pledge and blog about their tech heroine. The new site has just gone live and you can now get in early on the action .
