I’m doing something about the gender balance problem in open source. If you want to help, I want to meet you! Click my name for more info…

A few months ago I started offering free Ruby and Rails workshops for women in San Francisco. It’s working – we’re getting more women at the meetups and on the mailing lists, and lots of people are interested and excited. Check out sfrubyworkshops.com.

I’m also the head of the Open Workshop project at RailsBridge, and an enthusiastic member of Women 2.0.
