Hello Ladies,
I am reporting from RailsConf 2008. The main focus of this post is logistics for the conference. I’ll be posting about the talks as soon as I get to attend one. I have been running around trying to take care of DevChix related stuff.

We were unable to get an official room for a BoF but I have decided we will just take over some area of the convention center. Lets meet outside Exhibit Hall E at 7:30 on Saturday night. We can discuss whatever we want to. We are also planning appetizers and cocktails after the BoF. Hashrocket Inc, the company I work for is sponsoring the evening. Thanks Hashrocket!

Please either come to the BoF for more information or find one of the ladies with a DevChix logo on their badges for more information. I will also have stickers to give out (until they run out).

We would love to meet ALL the women developers at the conference so please come out and get to know us.

Cheers
Desi

A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to meet Ligaya Turmelle one of the founders of PHPWomen and then last week we meet up for dinner. The conversation flowed so well that 4 hours passed in what seemed to be mere minutes. We had so much in common with how our organizations came about, with all of the hopes and dreams we have for women in software development, and so much more. We decided that our goals were aligned so well that we should create an affiliation between our two organizations in hopes of creating a stronger support network for all women. So I am very pleased to announce that we have formed an alliance. Hopefully this alliance will help both our organizations. We look forward to supporting, helping, and working our sisters over at PHPWomen
