My colleague Merrilee Proffitt asked me to post this to Code4LIb, as she is going to apply to attend this event and she would love see other tech-savvy library women at this event. Roy "AdaCamp[1] is an Ada Initiative event focused on increasing women’s participation in open technology and culture. It will be a 200 person unconference in San Francisco on June 8–9, 2013. AdaCamp SF has two tracks. The main track is for significantly female-identified people, with a simultaneous workshop for allies. We use an inclusive definition of “woman” and “female” and we welcome trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who are significantly female-identified. Attendees will be selected based on experience in open tech/culture, experience or knowledge of feminism and advocacy, ability to collaborate with others, and any rare or notable experience or background that would add to AdaCamp. A limited number of travel assistance grants are available to applicants before April 12. AdaCamp has a registration fee, but it is need-based and self-selected, with a completely free option. You do not need to go through any process to choose the free registration fee." [1] http://sf.adacamp.org/apply/
