Systers is an international community of 3,000 women involved in technical-computing founded by Anita Borg in 1987 as a small electronic mailing list for women in “systems”. Today, Systers broadly promotes the interests of women in the computing and technology fields. Anita created Systers to “increase the number of women in computer science and make the environments in which women work more conducive to their continued participation in the field.” The Systers community serves this purpose by providing women a private space to seek advice from their peers, and discuss the challenges they share as women technologist.

Open Source Day Registration

GSoC Project Ideas

As promised during the “Open Source Needs You: Find Your Community and Change the World” session at ghc11 we created a mailing list where you can ask question about getting started with Open Source development.

Join the conversation here: Systers-foss

The list is open to all genders, projects, and experience levels, but it is closely moderated to make sure that the conversation remains helpful and polite.

GHC11 Open Source Day is over for this year. Thanks very much to the ABI and everyone who participated for a great day!
