Dear all,

I'm happy to share with you a local initiative that is having a high impact.

DonesCOEINF, the gender comission of COEINF (oficial chamber of computer 
engineering professionals in Catalonia), is launching a campaign 
throughout the month of February to visibilitze women in computing in 
Catalonia (Spain), together with some historical ones, by means of 
posters in stations and trains of the Catalan company (FGC).

We have modified the maps of the lines by replacing the names of the 
station by names of women, some historical and about 70 active computing 
engineers.

Large posters have been installed in some main stations and smaller 
posters are installed inside the trains. Also there is a digital poster 
in one main station.

Unfortunately the public information is in Catalan, but you can check 
these links and see the photos:

The first tweet with information about the campaign has more then 18000 
visits in 5 days.

It has been a big effort, but we are very proud of the results.

Kind regards

Núria

PS: donesCOEINF was also the promoter of the Barcelona ACM-W chapter.
