She's Geeky: Tech conference for women
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
The She's Geeky "unconference" for women in technology will be held January 30-31 in Mountain View, California. Visit the She's Geeky homepage to see a video montage of the first conference, which was held in October 2007 at the Computer History Museum.
According to the event site:
She’s Geeky events are neutral, face-to-face gathering spaces for women who like to geek out. Attendees include women involved in all aspects of technology, including those who like to use geeky tools, not just coders, programmers and engineers. You don’t even have to be from the computer industry. You just have to be a woman who identifies as a geek.
If you attend She's Geeky, please leave a comment here and fill us in on the highlights.
