There is a serious lack of women in the tech industry, and it isn't (as some in the slashdot comments suggest) solvable just by encouraging that companies hire more women. Companies can't hire more women if there simply aren't that many women applying because they don't exist in the field. Encouraging more women to get into the tech industry at a young age is the right approach, IMO.
