The Blonde and the Scruffy Coder

February 12, 2009
by Olivier Cleynen

On March 14th, I will be giving a talk titled The Blonde and the Scruffy Coder at the Chemnitzer Linux-Tagen in Chemnitz, Germany. The abstract simply says:

No doubt the best coding is done in the FLOSS community — but where are all the women? As a bright, open community, we can do better than being 99% male, and it pays to care. In this talk, Olivier will be tackling a few clichés, trolls, and misunderstandings to clarify the situation. Find out: - why this is a problem; - why you should care about it, and - how well it pays to care. Come and meet the Blonde and the Scruffy Coder in a story of love, frustration and passion — a story in which you are the hero.
