In US and Canada, there're many non-profit organizations dedicated to women in technology but I can't seem to find any in HK. If I remembered correctly, a governmental speech in 1999 did mention about promoting technologies to females. As expected, it's all talk. I still haven't seen much progression in this area, which is a bit disappointing. I think I'm starting to go off topic. lol Keep up the good work, Angus! That’s right.

Unfortunately, I haven't cover this topic at all. I'd love getting everyone involved and dive right into this topic, but there are far less females in this industry in HK than there are in US. This is definitely an area we can promote and build as well. Thanks Joey! Unfortunately, I haven’t cover this topic at all.

There isn't many covering the industry so I'm grateful for your contribution. Though I'm not working in this field, I'm very passionate about web apps and technology. So hats off to you, Angus. P.S. Since I'm a female, I'm interested to learn more about women's involvement in the web community. If you'd covered this topic before, I'd love to know.

What's really important is that it continues to move forward, it needs leaders, like you. The community was already there, it just needed a budge.
