DePauw University with the collaboration of the Anita Borg Institute (ABI) and the University of Virginia, and in partnership with the ACM Women's Council (ACM-W) and the National Center for Women and IT (NCWIT), proposes to create self-sustaining, regional communities of women in computing. National-level activities, such as the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, have positively impacted thousands of women. They cannot, however, reach all women. In particular, national meetings have limited ability to recruit women from isolated areas of the country, to include women at institutions that cannot afford expensive and time-consuming travel to national meetings, to provide leadership roles, to encourage participation by high school students, and to support interactions that are frequent enough to spark and sustain collaborations among budding students and professionals. This project -- called WWW.2 for Wide Web of Women -- aims to overcome these impediments. The project will create twelve new and upgraded Regional Celebrations of Women in Computing that will bring students, faculty and indistry representatives together for biennial conferences. The conferences will increase women?s participation in computing through intentional role modeling, networking, group and indivudal career mentoring, providing career information, and oportunities for experiences in presenting their work. The attendees will be encouraged to continue their interactions between Celebrations, for example, by forming ACM-W student chapters, hosting multi-institutional get togethers, and maintaining connections through a wiki. Focusing on women (as well as regions) serves a population powerfully united by gender, yet diverse in experience, with personal stories varying by race, ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation. This "Web of Women" will build momentum toward a tipping point of cultural change in stereotypes about gender and computing.

DePauw大学与Anita Borg Institute（ABI）和弗吉尼亚大学的合作，以及与ACM妇女委员会（ACM-W）以及国家妇女及其IT（NCWIT）合作，提议在计算机上创建自我维持的，区域性社区。国家一级的活动，例如在计算机上对妇女的格蕾丝·霍珀（Grace Hopper）庆祝，对成千上万的妇女产生了积极影响。但是，他们无法接触所有妇女。特别是，全国会议的能力有限，可以从该国孤立地区招募妇女，在无法负担不起昂贵且耗时的旅行到国家会议，提供领导职务的机构中，以鼓励高中生的参与，并支持足够频繁的互动来激发和维持崭露头角的学生和专业人士之间的合作和维持合作。该项目称为www.2 for to to to to to www.2，旨在克服这些障碍。该项目将在计算机上创建十二个新的和升级的区域庆祝活动，以使学生，教职员工和指标代表聚集在一起进行两年一度的会议。这些会议将通过有意的角色建模，网络，团体和独立的职业指导，提供职业信息以及为展示工作的经验提供职业信息以及oportunities来增加女性参与计算。将鼓励与会者在庆祝活动之间进行互动，例如，通过组建ACM-W学生章节，主持多机构的Get Togethers并通过Wiki保持联系。专注于妇女（以及地区）为一个人口服务，以性别为由，但经验多样化，个人故事因种族，种族，残疾和性取向而变化。这种“妇女网络”将建立朝着关于性别和计算的刻板印象的文化变化的转折点的动力。
