BCS Women is joining forces withWikimedia UK and Suw Charman-Anderson of Finding Ada, to celebrate Ada Lovelace day in 2013. In general, the day exists to celebrate the contributions of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, especially since Ada Lovelace is considered the first programmer, due to her work on Charles Babbage's analytical engine. As well as the usual events on Ada Lovelace Day, October 15, this year BCS Women will be running a Festival of Wikipedia to add/update/ improve Wikipedia entries of Women In Computing.
