Ruby on Rails Workshop

Thanks to everyone who contributed and attended the workshop this October. We hope we were successful in hosting an attitude-free, newbie-safe and mama-friendly tech event encouraging women to join the Ruby on Rails community.

Women are a minority in most technical communities, but in open source communities the numbers are even smaller — by a factor of about ten or more.

Moving forward, we encourage our newly empowered programmers to meet monthly and use their skills towards open source projects in a welcoming, collaborative, mixed gendered environment.

OreillyNet’s Women in Technology

O’Reilly Media Inc. has created the Women in Technology series comprised of articles written by women on the topic of “Women in Technology”.  In September, they interviewed our own Berkman Fellow, Danah Boyd.  Check out the interview and other blogs at http://www.oreillynet.com/womenintech/.  

Why only ONE month of women in tech, O’Reilly?
