-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: AdaCamp Bangalore, for women in open technology and culture Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2014 11:17:48 +1000 From: Alex Bayley <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Hi, My name is Alex Bayley and I'm one of the organisers of AdaCamp Bangalore (http://bangalore.adacamp.org), which will be held on November 22nd-23rd this year. AdaCamp is aimed at increasing women's participation in open technology and culture, which is defined as any field where people create things collaboratively and give them away for free. We are particularly keen to involve people from the CIS or who are otherwise involved in internet governance, privacy, open knowledge and education, etc. We'd like to invite any women involved in CIS (such as staff, interns, or volunteers), or who work with you in related fields, to attend, and would appreciate it if you could forward this email to anyone you know who might be interested. Attendance is by invitation, but applications are open to all women (defined as: anyone who identifies as a woman in a way that is significant to them). Travel scholarships (covering travel, accommodation, and the event fee) are available to help women attend from further away. You can find the application on our website linked above. Please also help us spread the word, via your mailing lists or social media. AdaCamp is a fantastic event for women to learn and share, and has been shown to make women more committed to open technology and culture. You can read about the results of our previous camp here:http://adainitiative.org/2014/07/adacamp-portland-report-out-ive-never-been-to-a-better-conference/ Applications close October 1st, or August 31st if you would like assistance with travel funding. All the best, Alex -- Alex "Skud" Bayley Organizer, AdaCamp Bangalore http://bangalore.adacamp.org/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
