A friend of mine works for Mozilla's Peer 2 Peer University; she recently wrote a blog post that discusses some ideas for designing a conference "for equity, interaction and learning." Might be of interest both for the pre-conf and conferences in general. Sadly, I can't attend, but I hope it goes well! http://info.p2pu.org/2014/01/31/gender-and-the-unconference-design-recs-for-equity-and-learning-ordcamp/ Amy -------------------------------- Amy E.

Those of us putting together the LibTechGender pre-conf are in the planning stages of what the day should look like. We thought it would be a good idea to do a call out to those attending to see what they would be most interested in getting out of the time. We have a lot of ideas, but knowing what people are looking forward to/want to do/hack/learn would be greatly helpful! Please feel free to email me on the list, privately, tweet me, whatever. Thanks!
