Hi All,
Please have a look and spread widely - really hope to see some of you at the event. The event is worth attending; I'm raising it particularly as there are scholarships for UK attendees.
* AdaCamp is a conference dedicated to increasing women’s participation in open technology and culture. It brings women together to build community, share skills, discuss problems with open tech/culture communities that affect women, and find ways to address them. It has been taking place for several years in the US and Australia, but in 2014 it is coming to Europe for the first time. The Berlin AdaCamp will be October 11-12, 2014 at the Wikimedia Deutschland http://wikimedia.de/ offices. It will also focus strongly on the Wikimedia community in particular. It is a valuable opportunity for UK Wikimedians to attend a focused event (of only about 50 attendees) where we will focus on learning practical things and planning future projects. If you have experience in open tech/culture, experience or knowledge of feminism and advocacy and the ability to collaborate with others, you should apply! We would like to help build a community of UK Wikimedians supporting women in open tech/culture - especially Wikimedia projects - and for that reason we are offering scholarships for UK applicants. To learn more about the event visit http://berlin.adacamp.org/ http://berlin.adacamp.org/ To read about the application process and find out how to receive a scholarship, please visit http://berlin.adacamp.org/apply/ http://berlin.adacamp.org/apply/ If you have any questions about the UK scholarships, contact Daria Cybulska at daria.cybulska@wikimedia.org.uk daria.cybulska@wikimedia.org.uk *
Just want to add, this conference is for women in open tech AND culture - in the past, about 40% of attendees do not have jobs in IT. Applications for AdaCamp Berlin are currently running about 30% Wikimedians and we are hoping for 50% Wikimedians across AdaCamp Berlin and AdaCamp Bangalore. In particular, we are hoping to continue the great conversations started at the Wikimedia Diversity Conference last year hosted by WM DE.
