Hi, I'm Katie. By day—and sometimes by night—I help operate a spacecraft called New Horizons. My background is in computer science, and I've written some of the software running on New Horizons and on MESSENGER. Outside of work I enjoy sea kayaking, sewing and embroidery, using Linux, learning Japanese language and tea ceremony, reading, hobby electronics projects, nature... all kinds of stuff. I coordinate a semi-active DC-area chapter of LinuxChix. Readers of this page may be particularly interested in my tech projects page. Since I live out in the Maryland suburbs, I'm not physically present at hackerspaces:HacDC often. Feel free to e-mail me.
HacDC Projects
- Geeks & Depression meetup - see Mitch's tips
- making contacts with amateur radio satellites
- geek feminist ally training

Wiki to-do
- consolidate Inventory and Stuff
- Inventory probably shouldn't include Skills
- Wishlist and Procurement (not to mention Inventory) look like they need to be updated
considering installing Extension:ReCAPTCHA- look into creating templates for things like meeting agendas and minutes
- add to hackerspaces:HacDC
- set up Flickr extension as at nycr:Flickr
Mailing Lists to-do
- check to see that each list (including project ones) has an admin to take care of pending requests
