Proud to be GeekGirls!

This weekend it was the second GeekgirlMeetup in Stockholm with over a 100 women attending.

The first GeekGirl Meetup was held this spring in Stockholm with 50 women attending. Now the event have grown to a 100 women that shared their knowledge in web development, coding, social media, digital journalism, DNS management and much more.Perhaps it's not very PC with an event so geared towards on gender, but it's very much needed as women still is few and far between in tech.

I overheard the most absurd stories that women attending told. The best was from a woman working at a game company where her coworkers stated - after she had beaten them in a game - that she couldn't be a woman - because women can't play like that.

Both Jennifer Bark and myself attended from Disruptive Media and Jennifer wrote an excellent summary of the conference at her blog.

You can also find more blog posts about the conference listed at Twingly, images at Flickr and videos at Bambuser. I held two talks, one on the open source publishing platform Drupal and one on Augmented Reality.

Unfortunaltely, I didn't catch many talks as I took on the Geekgirl hack challenge and sat with my nose in my computer most of the time. I was honoured that my site Geekgirlsunited.com was voted the winner.

Geekgirlsunited.com is a protoype of a directory of women blogging about digital media and development and also a resource to find female speakers and jury members for different events. If you know anybody who should be listed, please use the contact form and submit them. The site will be developed further in the months ahead. It's a collaborative effort. If you want to get involved, please let me know!
