<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">One of our own—Anne McCormick of Cisco Systems—appeared on the Cloud Unfiltered podcast about ten days ago. Initially we planned to interview her about her work on Metacloud (an OpenStack-based
private cloud solution), but instead wound up talking with her about women in tech.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">It was a terrific discussion, where Anne touched on things like the Google Letter, Us vs. Them tribalism, and the microindiginities women deal with daily in the male-dominated tech world.
