<div dir="ltr"><div>See: <a href="https://findingada.com/">https://findingada.com/</a> where it says</div><div><br></div><div>"People often ask why Ada Lovelace Day is the day that it is. The
explanation is rather mundane: the date is arbitrary, chosen in an
attempt to make the day maximally convenient for the most number of
people. We have tried to avoid major public holidays, school holidays,
exam season, and times of the year when people might be hibernating, so
we use the <a href="http://findingada.com/about/when-is-ald/">second Tuesday in October</a>.
<div class="gmail-siteorigin-widget-tinymce gmail-textwidget"><p>Why not just used Ada's birthday? Well, Ada was born on 10 December
and, in the UK where Ada Lovelace Day is based, December is swamped by
Christmas parties, making venue hire tricky and putting us in
competition with traditionally unmissable employee booze-ups. Given her
tragically early death at just 36, it would feel inappropriate to
celebrate her deathday on 27 November."</p><p><br></p><p>David Lees<br></p></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 10, 2023 at 10:37 AM John Rudy via LCTG <<a href="mailto:lctg@lists.toku.us">lctg@lists.toku.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg8276235244741571949"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_8276235244741571949WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thursday is John Rudy Day because I have determined that it doesn’t conflict with all my numerous activities, avoids school holidays, exam season and times when people are hibernating.
