Kevin, I prefer equal opportunity in as many parts of life as possible, including hiring. Do you have any stats on strategies being actively pursued by companies beyond "we need to hire more women"? The article made mention of some, but didn't go into specifics on how seriously they were being taken. I would personally like to see the bigger tech companies move toward training + hiring programs for women who aren't already STEM educated (we obviously need more engineers across the board, and the reliance on traditional CS/EE degrees really frustrates me) and toward creating tools and training materials for parents to use with their daughters in early life. A lot of the effort in the latter area seems to be coming from parents themselves, sometimes with help from Kickstarter (ex. Robot Turtles).
