Ellen Pao Launches Advocacy Group To Improve Diversity In The Tech Industry (theverge.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Ellen Pao, a former Silicon Valley venture capitalist, today announced the launch of Project Include, an advocacy group aimed at improving diversity in the technology industry. The group was started by Pao and fellow female engineers and executives, including members of Slack, Pinterest, and other Bay Area VC firms. The initiative will focus on providing startups and established tech companies with information on making hiring more inclusive, improving retention, and examining bias in the workplace. Pao became embroiled in one of the most divisive debates in tech last year after suing her former employer, VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, for gender discrimination. She lost at trial and, later, stepped down from her position as interim CEO of Reddit following a severe harassment campaign. Project Include is also accepting as many as 18 startups, who can apply to receive recommendations through a program called Start-Up Include.

When you can't do real work... start an advocacy group to harass people who can
hire more gay linux nerds who like hard cocks in their rectums
Can you not fathom how there just might be some discrimination happening in the tech world?
What's sad is that the knee jerk sexist responses here only prove Pao's point. Something that flies straight over the heads of those who attack her - especially since she was the one in Reddit defending their right to free speech, even as they used it to drag her through the mud. http://m.motherjones.com/mojo/...
You're on the losing side of history. Perhaps it would be best to shut the fuck up.
