Thanks to everyone who contributed and attended the workshop this October. We hope we were successful in hosting an attitude-free, newbie-safe and mama-friendly tech event encouraging women to join the Ruby on Rails community.
Women are a minority in most technical communities, but in open source communities the numbers are even smaller — by a factor of about ten or more.
Moving forward, we encourage our newly empowered programmers to meet monthly and use their skills towards open source projects in a welcoming, collaborative, mixed gendered environment.

Launched last July the Geek Feminism Wiki is “An overview and resource centre about issues facing women in geek communities.”
Seems like they’re trying to be a central repository for all things female geek. Perhaps they should get together with Personism.com who is compiling a list of women conference speakers.
