QA Manager is not an easy position to occupy, and never comes with enough thanks, but Katrin has succeeded at it.  Thanks, Katrin!<\/li>\n<li>Christina Harlow (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cm_harlow\">@cm_harlow<\/a>): Christina walks the boundary between library metadata and library software and bridges it. In her <a href=\"http:\/\/christinaharlow.com\/\">blog&#8217;s<\/a> title, she gives herself the sobriquet of &#8220;metadata lackey&#8221; &mdash; but to me that seems far too modest.  She&#8217;s been instrumental in the revival of <a href=\"http:\/\/mashcat.info\">Mashcat<\/a> this year.\n<li>Kathy Lussier: Kathy has contributed both code and documentation to the Evergreen project and has served in many roles on the project, including on its oversight board and its web team.  She has spearheaded various initiatives to make the Evergreen project more inclusive and is a strong advocate for universal, accesible design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1153\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1153\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/galencharlton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Henriette_Avram.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1153\" src=\"https:\/\/galencharlton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Henriette_Avram.jpg\" alt=\"Henriette Avram [image via Wikipedia]\" width=\"200\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henriette Avram [image <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Henriette_Avram.jpg\">via Wikipedia<\/a>]<\/figcaption><\/figure>Although she is no longer with us, Henriette Avram, the creator of the MARC format, deserves a callout today as well: it is not every programmer who <em>ships<\/em>, and moreover, ships something that remains in use 50 years later.\u00a0I am sure\u00a0that Avram, were she still alive and working, would be heavily involved in libraries&#8217; efforts to adopt Linked Open Data.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1150\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/galencharlton.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/ada-lovelace-day-during-which-i-call-out-some-folk-for-awesomeness\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/galencharlton.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/ada-lovelace-day-during-which-i-call-out-some-folk-for-awesomeness\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/galencharlton.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/ada-lovelace-day-during-which-i-call-out-some-folk-for-awesomeness\/?share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span>Reddit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/galencharlton.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/ada-lovelace-day-during-which-i-call-out-some-folk-for-awesomeness\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Ada Lovelace Day, a celebration of the work and achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, and math.
