[FreeGeek] Re: Sista'Hood invitation - Mar. 24, 2007

Tue Jan 23 10:29:56 PST 2007

Here's some information around the Sista'Hood festival coming up near
the end of March. We've received a direct invitation to participate and
they're very excited about the work we're doing and planning to do.

The invitation is at the very least to present a table with information
about our organisation, but there will also be space for us to present a
workshop and even proto-type some of our education program if we wish.

Sista'Hood is an annual event organising primarily around women in the
arts and community. They're looking for community organisations that are
helping to build a healthy community. This is a great opportunity for us
to diversify our base of geeks beyond the predominantly male.

I personally have no experience putting on workshops but will be happy
to help someone who does. Otherwise, I'd at least help to organise a
table where we can present ourselves and what we do.

Anyone interested in helping out?
