Thanks to everyone who contributed and attended the workshop this October. We hope we were successful in hosting an attitude-free, newbie-safe and mama-friendly tech event encouraging women to join the Ruby on Rails community.
Women are a minority in most technical communities, but in open source communities the numbers are even smaller — by a factor of about ten or more.
Moving forward, we encourage our newly empowered programmers to meet monthly and use their skills towards open source projects in a welcoming, collaborative, mixed gendered environment.

One of the laments you often hear at tech conferences is that there is a dirth of women speakers out there, and how do you find the ones that do exist.
Here’s what you can do to help. Check out SpeakerRate.com.
Make sure the women speakers you have seen or know have a profile and rate the talk. The presentations can and should include user group presentations etc.
If the woman in question doesn’t have a profile please email her and suggest she get one.
