[UbuntuWomen] Women Who Tech: A TeleSummit for Women in Technology

[Yolynne Medina]

I don't know if any of you know this already, but I am just posting for the
sake of those who are not aware of this. I really feel that 2008 is the year
of Women Empowerment, its nice to see a lot of women being active and
showing support to each other.

* Any woman with a telephone who works in technology at a non-profit, a
political campaign or is interested in technology is invited to participate
in this free, live event on March 31, 2008 from 11AM to 6:15 PM EST. Below
is a list of some of the panel discussions that will be held at Women Who
Tech: A TeleSummit For Women in Technology. *

   - *Open Source For Women: This panel will explore how to get women
   more involved in developing technology and contributing to Open Source and
   Open Standards. What are the current barriers? What can we do to break these
   barriers?*
   - *Everything You Wanted To Know About Tech But Were Afraid To Ask (a
   man): There are gazillion tools on the market these days that claim to
   help ramp up your technology programs. What do they all do and are some of
   them overkill? *
   - *Build An Online Campaign And Save The World: The latest tricks and
   tools in online campaign organizing and making them go viral. *
   - *Women And Social Capital: Networking, schmetworking...why is it
   that women are statistically more 'social' than men, but have statistically
   less powerful business networks than men? This panel will explore how the
   women who have entered boys clubs and built powerful Social Capital have
   done it and give ideas to women on how to build their networks through
   better Bridging Capital.*
   - *Mobile Activism: How can we use mobile technology to fight for
   social justice issues and raise money for organizations? *
   - *The Digital Ceiling:  Experts will identify strategies for getting
   heard and how to effectively advocate for your technology program as well as
   how to break through the barriers relating to budgets, resources and lack of
   vision by upper management.*
   - * Hot Or Not?: Twitter! Facebook! Ning! Panelists share their
   opinions on the latest trends in Web 2.0 and how organizations can
   effectively use them to build community as well as as how to measure the
   real ROI's.*
