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
