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.

David Sasaki of Global Voices blogs about the lack of women presenters. Many conference organizers complain that they simply can’t find women to speak. Fortunately, David provides a link to Personism.com which has compiled a list of women speakers.
We’d like to see more Women in Tech on the list, but its a good start.
