I've been working with Kalyia Hamlin, Laurie Rae, Julie French, Mary Hodder and lots of others to help pull together an unconference called She's Geeky that is happening Oct 22-23 at the Computer History Museum in Santa Clara, California.

For me working on this conference is both a chance to give back and do some service for the community, and to support (other) women in tech, especially the less traditional ones who may have cross-functional roles and/or feel somewhat isolated or unique.

This is a gathering for women who self-identify as geeky (as in tech geeks) and/or work in technology; the first afternoon will be workshops and panels; the full day will be an unconference.

So, please--get involved if this is of interest--it is going to be a great, diverse, friendly and vibrant day and a half.
