[Adminsysters] A story about jean and adele

[Donna]

Hi,

I will also need to look in the mail archives but remember that Jean was named after Jean Bartik, just found a link:

https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/2928/Jean-Bartik/

I think Adele was also a programmer in the army. Someone once mentioned a pity they were in the army which I agree with, its super off-putting. However it was the place where a lot of computing started. Difficult to like.

> gosh i can't remember when we set up jean - i can only say it was 2014 or earlier. i had a look back in my emails & found some discussion in 2014 that included mention of jean. i've also forgotten who she was named after. adele is more recent but i also can't find an exact point, or the reason for the name. donna might be able to answer? or can you access the mailing list archive?
