More often than not, I get pegged as the office tech support. Let me be clear, just because I know how to "bold" does not mean that I deserve that title. However, there is a conference for those of us that do revel in discussing what techonology can do to change the world and also want to get our inner-geek on. I think this is particularly useful for us in the non profit sector, as we can often find low-cost or free tools at these meet ups. One big complaint, I hear often is that web developers never create stuff that works for our sector. Well, this is a great opportunity to hear about what is coming up and maybe leave your two cents about what would help us do our jobs better.
A Women's Tech (un)conference is being held on October 22-23 in Mountain View, CA. Sign up here.
The She's Geeky (un)conference will provide an agenda-free and friendly environment for women who not only care about building technology that is useful for people, but who also want to encourage more women to get involved.
It is designed to provide women who self-identify as geeky and who are engaged in various technology-focused disciplines with a gathering space in which they can exchange skills and discuss ideas and form community across and within disciplines.
