[Wikimediaau-l] (slightly OT) announcement: Oceania Women of Open Tech launches
Hi, The group formerly known as AussieChix (Australian chapter of LinuxChix) has renamed and rescoped itself and is launching as OWOOT. If you are a geek girl or woman with an open tech bent, please feel free to join, or pass the word on to other folks who might be interested. cheers Brianna Subject: Oceania Women of Open Tech launches Oceania Women of Open Tech (OWOOT) is a new group for women in open technology in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. It has recently formed from the local chapters of LinuxChix, but with a wider scope focussing on open technology generally. OWOOT welcomes all women interested in open technology, including open source, open hardware, open data and free culture. OWOOT activities will include: - the Haecksen miniconference at linux.conf.au, and meetups and events at other conferences - periodic local social events - email and IRC forums where you can meet other women from the area who work with, build or use open technology OWOOT forums are open to men to join if they wish, as long as they keep in mind that the purpose of the group is supporting women in open tech and allowing them to meet each other.

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Open-Edge (education) conference - Sydney, 9 Oct
Are you sure it's for October? THat seems a bit of a short lead-time given it's already the 21st! :-) I was fortunate enough to be able to speak at the last one of these events ( http://open-edge.info/liam-wyatt ). If it's anything like that one in 2009 this is a nice small 1 day conf dedicated to using innovative and OSS systems in secondary education. I'd recommend putting your hand up it if anyone is interested in meeting other techie folks in the education sector in NSW.

Does anyone feel up for it? She is looking to finalise the line-up relatively soon. If you have never presented before, those of us who have can give you some tips for what to cover, common questions etc. There are also quite a few existing slide sets etc you can draw on. It's quite a short time so you don't need to present the comprehensive thing ever, and the audience should be quite friendly. Anyone keen? thanks, Brianna ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
