Musical score
Alastair Lee singer/songwriter — Guinlee Music
An original score and composition specifically crafted to celebrate women and technology achievements:
"Be a Goddess or a Queen
Of that little screen
Soar as high as you can go
And be the star of your own show
Have the freedom to achieve
And live what you believe
Release your mind and dream – YEAH
Reshape your world, reshape your world… "

The Geeky Stuff
Role Model albums were created using iPhoto (styles: travel and crayon). These were converted to pdf and profiles added.
Home page video created using iDVD.
Role models were located via traditional networking and connecting via social networking sites (LinkedIn, Plaxo and Facebook). Linkedin.com proved to be a rich source of searching and securing role models.
Role model communication throughout the project was via traditional email, ecampaign tool (constantcontact.com) ,VOIP (Skype) messaging and open source YaBB bulletin board.
Additional images used were sourced from dreamstime.com and stockxpert.com
Special thanks to
- Mary (Serbia role model) for suggestions on photo layout and overall style
- Angele (Malta role model) for great colour suggestions for the profiles
- Roxanne (Hawaii role model) for assistance in using graphical tools (the person who created the album had zero experience with graphical work or iPhoto – Roxanne provided some quick tips and guides on photo sizing and placement)
- Kim Sheree (Australia role model) for suggestions and concepts for design (and additional volunteer assistance with launch and media)
- The UK amazing team of Bev Hurley, Jan Peters and Maggie Berry for unwavering support and assistance sourcing role models.
Project timeline
The original concept was crafted over 5 years ago – however it was not begun until the rise of social networking sites that allowed global connectivity and management of a global project. In reality it was during a trip to APEC Digital Women’s Forum in Peru late May 2008 that the innovator (Sonja Bernhardt) realised that the time and the tools were right for this project. The entire project from decision to proceed to 11 August was 10 weeks. This was followed by 6 weeks compiling albums and reviewing content and gaining role model aok to publish and launch.
All time spent on the project was part time and voluntary (role models, innovator, web design, and album creation) with lots of late night insomnia (which assisted in communicating with role models in different time zones) :-)
No editorial services were offered as part of this project and all inputs were volunteered by busy people. Any grammatical, spelling or similar errors are by the nature of the material and ought to be viewed as a style of reading rather than editorially or critically.
