Women Who Tech telesummit
I’ve been working with computers since the early ’80s, graduating from mainframes to micros, from COBOL to Visual Basic, from MP/M to Vista. There weren’t a whole lot of women employed as computer programmers in those early days. I was such a weird phenomenon in the bank where I first worked that I got to set my own dress standard.
Although there are a fair few more women techies around now, we’re still under-represented. So it’s good to see that Women Who Tech are organising a TeleSummit open to “any woman with a telephone who works in technology at a non-profit, a political campaign or is interested in technology”.
There’ll be panels on open source, building online campaigns, women and social capital, mobile activism, the digital ceiling and a whole lot more. It sounds like a great opportunity to network, learn and break out of any femo-geeky isolation in which you find yourself.
Participation is free and the event runs from 11.00am to 6.15pm US Eastern time on March 31st, 2008. Sign up now.
