Systers is an international electronic mailing list for technical women in computing. It has operated since 1987. It is the oldest mailing list for women in computer science,〔(Anita Borg Interview )〕 and probably the largest email community of women in computing.〔(Systers )〕 According to founder Anita Borg, the Syster community strives to increase the number of women in computer science and improve work environments for women.〔 The name is a combination of ''systems'' and ''sisters''. As of 2012, more than 3000 members subscribe to the Systers' mailing list. The mailing list was maintained by ''Her Syster's Keeper'', Robin Jeffries, from 2000 to 2012.〔 In October 2012, Jeffries passed on the baton of Syster's Keeper to Rosario Robinson. Topics generally relate to women in computing.〔(Systers FAQ )〕 A notable exception was a 1992 discussion of a Barbie doll, whose recorded phrases included "Math class is tough!". Systers was credited as influential in persuading Mattel to remove the phrase.〔(Anita Borg, 54, Trailblazer For Women in Computer Field )〕 The Systers list runs on GNU Mailman. Systers members and Google Summer of Code participants customized the code to meet Systers' needs.〔(GF Classifieds: Google Summer of Code 2012 edition )〕 Systers list members also sponsor the Systers' Pass-it-on grant, which awards money to established women in technology fields who help support upcoming women in technology.〔(Barbara Ericson Wins Anita Borg 'Systers Pass-It-On' Grant for Hispanic Outreach Initiative )〕 ==Founding members== Systers was founded in 1987 by Anita Borg and several other women who attended a Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP) conference.〔(25 years of Systers )〕〔(Founding Systers )〕 * Anita Borg * Stella Atkins * Miche Baker-Harvey * Carla Ellis * Joan Francioni * Susan Gerhart * Anita K.
