1: A seminar I attended on high performance computing had over 100 people in the room, only five of which were female, and three of whom were attached to the vendor doing the presentation. The ratio is about the same for storage-focused talks.
2:The general System Administrator field does have more women these days, this is a good thing.

The Ada Initiative (http://adainitiative.org/) is a newly-formed organisation which aims to support and promote women in open technology and culture. We've just launched our first annual census -- a broad survey of open technology and culture participants -- to find out more about what projects and communities people are involved in, and how they feel about women's inclusion and representation in the field.Not just for women! Men-folk can fill it out as well, as it's also asking about perceptions of openness in various places. The fields I tend to hang around in tend to be, ahem, dinosaur pits1 , which I duly noted. Others, though, are more diverse2. So please do look into this survey.
