Re: [Gendergap] Fwd: [Adacamp Alumni] Applications open for AdaCamp Berlin and Bangalore

First AdaCamp in India! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Valerie Aurora <valerie(a)adainitiative.org> Date: Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 3:11 PM Subject: [Adacamp Alumni] Applications open for AdaCamp Berlin and Bangalore To: AdaCamp Alumni <adacamp-alumni(a)lists.adainitiative.org> Hi AdaCampers, We just opened applications for AdaCamp Berlin and Bangalore! http://adainitiative.org/2014/07/applications-open-for-adacamp-berlin-and-a… A lot of AdaCamp Alumni have asked: Should I go to AdaCamp again? This isn't an easy question, because we are pretty sure all future AdaCamps are going to be sold out, and because we are trying hard to reach people who need AdaCamp the most (usually those who don't have a chance to attend many supportive conferences). At the same time, we need people who have been to previous AdaCamps to attend to help show new people the ropes, and we also need women who have a lot of confidence and experience and expertise to attend to serve as role models, give advice, and make relationships. If you want to attend AdaCamp but are feeling guilty about taking up a spot someone else might need more, here's what I recommend: Apply to AdaCamp and in the "Anything else?" field of the application, say that you are happy to give up your spot if someone else needs it more. :) In other words, apply! -VAL -- Valerie Aurora Executive Director You can help increase the participation of women in open technology and culture!
