Born in Germany, she had to flee on the kindertransport to England in
1939. In the 1950s she worked at the Post Office Research Station at
Dollis Hill, building computers from scratch, and took evening classes
to get a degree in Mathematics.
In 1962 she set up a software company, employing almost entirely women,
working at home; the company was floated in 1996. Her team's projects
included programming Concorde's black box flight recorder. She adopted
the name "Steve" to fit in in a male domainated world.

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Docker project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the docker core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible.
If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the
Docker organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good
place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
