El segundo martes de octubre se celebra el Día Internacional de Ada Lovelace, una efeméride significativa para reconocer a la matemática de origen británico Ada Lovelace, considerada la primera mujer que programó una computadora.
Asimismo, este día internacional rinde homenaje a los logros alcanzados por aquellas mujeres que incursionan en el campo de la ciencia, la tecnología y las matemáticas.
Origen del Día de Ada Lovelace
El Día Internacional de Ada Lovelace fue fundado en el año 2009 por Suw Charman-Anderson, para ser celebrado anualmente el segundo martes de octubre.
Tiene como principal finalidad incrementar el perfil de las mujeres en STEM y crear modelos a seguir para estimular la inclusión de niñas en carreras STEM, así como apoyar a las mujeres que ya trabajan en este ámbito.
¿Quién fue Ada Lovelace?
Augusta Ada King, mejor conocida como Ada Lovelace, fue una matemática y escritora británica reconocida como la primera mujer programadora de ordenadores.
Nació en Londres, el 10 de diciembre de 1815 y falleció el 27 de noviembre de 1852.
Su formación académica en el campo de las matemáticas le permitió iniciar en el año 1833 un arduo trabajo de investigación sobre la denominada "máquina analítica", una calculadora mecánica ideada por Charles Babbage, considerado el padre de los ordenadores.
Con esta herramienta Lovelace desarrolló un programa para ordenador en el año 1843, mediante un algoritmo codificado para ser procesado por una máquina.
Este programa permitió calcular una secuencia de números racionales o números de Bernaulli, desarrollado por el matemático Jacob Bernaulli.
¿Sabías Que?
Conoce algunos datos curiosos e interesantes sobre Ada Lovelace:
El Departamento de Defensa de los Estados Unidos desarrolló el lenguaje de programación Ada, cuya denominación se hizo en honor a Ada Lovelace.
Ada Lovelace era apodada como la "encantadora de números".
Su trayectoria destacada inspiró a otras mujeres en el campo de la programación: Ida Rhodes, Grace Hooper, Mary Lou Jepsen, Adele Golberg, Sophie Wilson y Margaret Hamilton.
Debido a los prejuicios de la época ocultó su identidad. Se le dio crédito reciente a su trabajo en el campo de la tecnología, en el año 1953
¿Cómo se celebra el Día de Ada Lovelace?
En la celebración de esta efeméride se ideó el buque insignia Ada Lovelace Day Live o "cabaret de la ciencia", en Londres (Reino Unido).
Las mujeres en STEM brindan charlas sobre su trayectoria y trabajos de investigación en un entorno informal, similar al teatro.
Por otra parte, se llevan a cabo conferencias y actividades para apoyar a las mujeres en sus comunidades. Asimismo, se publica información sobre este día internacional en blogs, Facebook y Twitter.

The second Tuesday in October is Ada Lovelace Day, a day of recognition launched in 2009, when the British tech journalist Suw Charman-Anderson began a campaign to establish an “international day of blogging to draw attention to women excelling in technology”.
We’re participating today with this clip from a longer reel of historic, ca. 1945 footage of the ENIAC computer system. ENIAC was created at the University of Pennsylvania and was argued to be the first all electronic computer. While they received little recognition for their work at the time, the project team included a number of notable women, some of whom can be seen here in this footage. Recruited from a team of around two hundred women working in computing at the University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering, Kay McNulty, Betty Jennings, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Meltzer, Fran Bilas, and Ruth Lichterman were ENIAC’s first programmers, and worked under the direction of Herman and Adele Goldstine.
This film is in Hagley Library’s collection of Sperry Corporation, UNIVAC Division photographs and audiovisual materials (Accession 1985.261). You can view the full video online now by visiting our Digital Archive’s online collection, Grace Hopper and Women Computer Programmers.

The Lovelace
Today is Ada Lovelace Day and I just had to point out that the starship in We Have Met the Enemy is named the Lovelace - for Ada!

I'm pretty sure this was the moment that I thought, "What the hell am I doing jumping out of a perfectly good airplane?" My Daddy was a pilot most of my life so I was not new to small airplanes, but jumping out with some dude I had never met before trusting him with my life. Now that was a bit nutso! But I loved every second of it once we were out!!! What have you wanted to try that you are terrified of? Today is also (seriously?)

Celebrating #AdaLovelaceDay with GNOME’s First Woman Coder
Ada Lovelace Day commemorates Ada Lovelace, who is considered to be the world’s first programmer. It serves to celebrate women in STEM fields, and entice the next generation of young women to bring their talents into the STEM workforce.
This year, System76 highlights the first woman coder of GNOME, Rosanna Yuen, who has been a staple in the GNOME community for decades.
Q: First, a little background about yourself for those who may not be familiar.
I am the Director of Operations at the GNOME Foundation. I have been a GNOME user since GNOME 0.13 (released in 1997) and have been using it ever since. At that time GNOME was little more than a panel and a few applications. My first contribution was co-creating AisleRiot — the GNOME solitaire game. We still ship it today and I’m proud to still have code in GNOME that people use.
Q: What first got you interested in coding? Who did you look up to along the way?
I was lucky to have had coding classes in elementary school starting in second grade. I loved the problem-solving aspect of it. I took a lot of computer classes through high school, but never thought of it as more than a hobby. It never occurred to me that it could be a possible career.  Maybe I needed to have more role models at that age.
Q: Back in 2016 you were the sole employee at the GNOME Foundation aside from the board. How did you tackle the challenge of being the only employee there?
I was also the only employee at the GNOME Foundation when I was hired! I have had the pleasure to have worked with three wonderful Executive Directors, and each of them have brought different strengths to the role. In the times where I was the only employee, the Board of Directors and general GNOME community has stepped up to help me fill in the gaps.
Q: Why did you first take a position there 13 years ago?
The first GNOME Foundation Executive Director resigned and someone needed to keep things running. I had volunteered to help sort out the paperwork and was expecting a child at the time. After my maternity leave finished, the Board of Directors offered to pay me part-time to keep helping to go through the paperwork, and the position has grown from there.
Q: What excites you about working there?
For a long time, as the only employee or one of two employees, I had the flexibility of defining my job. As GNOME grows, I have been learning new skills to keep up. GNOME is nothing without its volunteers. I love the energy and different skill sets and perspectives our volunteers bring. We have such a smart and sharing community, and I’ve learned so much from them. This motivates me and reminds me why GNOME is such a wonderful community.
Q: What future technologies are you most excited for?
I am looking forward to GNOME reinvigorating their focus on accessibility. It is an area GNOME excelled in in the past, and I am hoping we can once again make it a priority. I’m also enjoying seeing all the new apps showing up in flathub.
Q: Would you attribute the gender gap in the STEM field more to a lack of interest, or to a lack of opportunities for young women?
Representation matters. My STEM teachers in high school were female. They pushed me and I went to a college to study STEM. My college professors were almost all male. I no longer felt as secure in my abilities. The more diverse our teachers/professors/mentors are, the more diverse future generations in STEM will be.
Q: What would you say to encourage young women to enter a STEM field?
That’s a tall order! Young women should consider STEM fields because they solve real-world problems and better our understanding of everything around us.
I would love to see more young women enter STEM fields and especially contribute to the GNOME project. I would also hope that young women are able to follow their passions, wherever that takes them.
If you’re interested in starting a career in coding, graphic design, or other related fields, read about Outreachy, GNOME Foundation’s internship program, at outreachy.org.
Come celebrate Ada Lovelace Day with us on the System76 Facebook page by sharing your own STEM story with us!

Celebrating #adalovelace #adalovelaceday She wrote the first published computer program In 1842, Ada was commissioned to translate a French transcript of one of Babbage’s lectures into English. Adding her own section simply titled ‘Notes’, Ada went on to write a detailed collection of her own ideas on Babbage’s computing machines that ended up being more extensive than the transcript itself! Within these pages of notes, Lovelace made history. In note G, she wrote an algorithm for the Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers, the first published algorithm ever specifically tailored for implementation on a computer, or in simple terms – the first #computerprogram #computerscience #computerprogramming #computerproblems @uniwinchester @stemettes @stemettefutures @uclwomeninstem #stemandglory #womensupportingwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/CU69ZouoEUR/?utm_medium=tumblr

10th December 1815, birth of English mathematician, and first computer programmer Ada Lovelace. (Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace), Lovelace was the only legitimate child of poet Lord Byron and his wife Lady Byron. Seperating from Lady Byron a month after Ada was born, Byron left England dying in Greece nine years later, as such Ada never knew her father. Working with the English polymath Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine, the first proposed mechanical general purpose computer; Lovelace was the first to recognize its potential, and published the first computing algorithm in history. 12th December 1731, birth of English physician, poet, philosopher, and botanist Erasmus Darwin. Grandfather of Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin, presented his evolutionary ideas in verse in his works ‘Zoonomia, or, The Laws of Organic Life (1794-1796)’, and ‘The Temple of Nature’ (1802). One of the first formal theorists on evolution, his theories would influence his Grandson sixty years later in presenting a theory of how life evolved from a single common ancestor. Ada Lovelace through her friendship and work with Charles Babbage, also came to know Charles Dickens, and also Charles Darwin. Charles Babbage and his Analytical Engine appear in the historical Industrial sublime Tarot 1760 - 1848. A tarot deck inspired by the 18th and 19th century, with a healthy dose of steampunk added for flavour. Available in 5x7 prints in color or naked ink, with historical description. Now with free shipping. #adalovelace #adalovelaceday #charlesbabbage #analyticalengine #steampunkstyle #steampunkart #steampunktarot #steampunktarotcards #tarotart #steampunkillustration #illustration #illustrationartists #charlesdickens #charlesdarwin #erasmusdarwin #lordbyron #tarotdecks #historydaily #historyart #steampunkhistory #historicalillustration #historic #historyofcomputers #historyofcomputing #historyofscience https://www.instagram.com/p/CIvc1VtHX0N/?igshid=1b17lw98rocp0
