The one-day workshop will commence in the late afternoon on Saturday, Oct. 13 and proceed through Sunday, and is targeted to women students at the graduate and senior undergraduate levels with interests in computer systems research. Early career women faculty and researchers involved in systems research are also encouraged to participate. Through the generous support of CRA-W, NSF, Microsoft, Google, and HP, we are able to offer a significant number of scholarship awards for graduate and senior undergraduate women and minority students to participate in this workshop, followed by SOSP attendance. The awards provide an allowance for travel, shared room accommodation, and registration. The purpose of this posting in multifold. First, we want the greater computer science community to be aware of the Women's Workshop and encourage support and participation. Second, for graduate and senior undergraduate students, we invite and encourage you to attend. The first step is to apply for one of these scholarships. The deadline for application was August 15th(with the likelihood of an extension of at least one week- check the website for details), and instructions may be found on the SOSP web site listed below. Third is a request for help from the faculty mentors out there. We ask you to get in touch with your women students who may benefit from this opportunity and get them to apply for scholarships and attend this workshop. Please see http://www.sosp2007.org/ for both a link to the women's workshop description and tentative program as well as a link to the scholarship application procedures. Carla M.
