Ruby on Rails Workshop

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.

Do you twitter?

The site Twitter is a website that helps friends, family, and co-workers communicate quickly and easily through short updates. Users let one another know what they’re up to by answering one question: What are you doing? Using 140 characters or less, members provide the Reader’s Digest “short answer” to that question. 

Most tech-saavy folks at Berkman twitter.  But perhaps you don’t know about TwitterMoms.  This a place where twittering moms can meet and network with other moms who twitter.

As I was seeking out geeky moms more like myself, I came upon the Techmamas group created by TechMama blogger Beth Blecherman.  There are currently 140 members… oh, 141 I just joined!

Are there any other twitter sites out there for twittering women in tech?
