Our second meeting... yipee!

What: Want to know a bit more about what a Girl Geek Dinner is? 

When: Monday 3rd August @ 7pm

Where: Fat Cats Restaurant

Cost: £10 (this is the cost for food)

Why: Our speaker for this evening is Kate Bolin who is a Nottingham based web designer, likes web standards and accessibility but is happiest when up to her elbows in CSS. She is also a prolific knitter. You can find out more about Kate on her entertaining blog: http://www.katemonkey.co.uk/.

Every year the website that is a regular stomping groud for all proffesional web designers; A List Apart, runs a web survey to look at the current industry around the globe. Kate will be looking at the results from the most recent A List Apart Web Workers survey, to examine what it tells us about being a woman working in web design. Leave your preconceptions at the door as we have look at the industries and sectors that offer support for women in IT. Then expect a lively conversation afterwards.

It is here, Ada Lovelace Day.

Created by Suw Charman-Anderson, to help promote women in technology, it is a day dedicated to blogging about women who are admired and successful within technology. Brilliant idea Suw and I'm delighted to see that it has really taken off and seen some great support.

I thought I'd pick a few of my favourite posts to share with you.
