A small initiative

IT field in Nepal is a booming industry. Today, no one industry can remain isolated from the developments in the field of IT. Be it banking sector, or hotel industry, or tourism, or software houses, IT is playing a vital role everywhere. With many IT firms opening up and many projects being outsourced to Nepal, IT promises to have a good future.

Nevertheless, I have found that not many girls/women are interested to pursue a career in IT. What maybe the reasons? If its the pressure of the job, then what job doesn't have pressure? If you are to survive in this competitive world, you have got to have a will and the capability to handle pressures. If it is the odd hours that the IT jobs demand, then there are always other options within the IT industry. In fact, IT jobs are more flexible, in terms that you can even work from the comforts of your home.

I feel that we have narrowed our horizon in terms of IT. Whenever we talk of IT jobs, we restrain ourselves to programming or designing or networking jobs. But IT is much beyond that.

In order to analyze the reasons for lower participation of females in IT sector, we have initiated a project titled "Women in IT". With this initiative, we hope be better able to know why girls do not view IT jobs as a promising and rewarding career.

A world in itself

Google is a world in itself. With a variety of features like calculator, currency converter, Google maps, code search, Google alerts, the ever-popular Google search and soooooooo many other features, Google gives its users all they want and much more.

Fritz Schneider, Nancy Blachman and Eric Fredricksen have even published a book named "How to Do Everything with Google". You can even learn a lot about Google features at http://www.google.com/help/features.html#pdf OR at http://www.googleguide.com/favorite_features.html.

Drupal Writeshop

The concept of writeshop was quite new to me. Had heard it for the first time. So, I didn't know what to expect out of the "Drupal Writeshop" held on November 12, 2006 at SAP-Falcha. But, having attended the writeshop now, I can say that the concept is worth implementing. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
