Maybe of interest... -J ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sarah Stierch <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, May 8, 2012 at 8:12 PM Subject: [Gendergap] AdaCamp DC - July 10-11 To: Increasing female participation in Wikimedia projects < [log in to unmask]> Hi everyone, I wanted to send a second reminder about *AdaCamp DC*, which will take place in (you guessed it!) Washington, D.C. on July 10-11. We intentionally wanted it to take place during Wikimania since we have a strong cross-over of attendees. So far we've had a remarkable response from the international community, with attendees ranging from everywhere including Australia to Burma, the United Kingdom to Poland! From the website: " AdaCamp is an Ada Initiative <http://adainitiative.org/> event focused on increasing women’s participation in open technology and culture. AdaCamp brings together people to build community, discuss issues women have in common across open technology and culture fields, and find ways to address them. Open technology and culture includes open source software, Wikipedia and other wiki projects, open data, open government, fan/remix culture, open libraries, and more. Attendance is by invitation and attendees are selected from qualified applicants through an open invitation process. Attendance is open to people of all genders. The first AdaCamp was AdaCamp Melbourne <http://melbourne.adacamp.org/>, in January 2012." http://dc.adacamp.org/ We hope you'll join us and please apply. Also, feel free to forward this onto your colleagues, cohorts and comrades! Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* *Wikimedia Foundation Community Fellow* >>Mind the gap!
