(Please pardon the cross-posting!) Hello everyone! We have opened the application process for AdaCamp DC, which will take place July 10 and 11 in Washington, D.C.. The event will be held just down the street from where Wikimania will take place starting on July 12! What is AdaCamp? It is an event, planned by the Ada Initiative, that focuses on increasing women's participation in open technology and culture. AdaCamp brings together people to build community, discuss issues women have in common across open technology and culture fields, and find ways to address them. Open technology and culture includes open source software, Wikipedia and other wiki projects, open data, open government, fan/remix culture, open libraries, and more. Attendance is by invitation and attendees are selected from qualified applicants through an open invitation process. Attendance is open to people of all genders. APPLY TODAY! http://dc.adacamp.org/apply/ And please encourage anyone you know who might be interested. Applicants of any gender, any background, any age, and experience level encouraged to apply. If you are interested in sponsoring AdaCamp, please do let me know! Thank you, -Sarah -- Sarah Stierch Wikimedia Foundation Community Fellow >>Mind the gap!
