I\u2019ve been to a number of open source and technical conferences over the last few years, most of which I\u2019ve thoroughly enjoyed. But AdaCamp<\/a> is a special kind of experience.
\n
\nAdaCamp<\/a> is a conference dedicated to increasing women\u2019s participation in open technology and culture: open source software, Wikipedia and other wiki-related projects, open knowledge and education, creative fan culture, remix culture, and more. AdaCamp <\/a>brings women together over two days to build community, share skills, discuss problems with open tech\/culture communities that affect women, and find ways to address them.<\/p>\n

Adacamp <\/a>gave me the ability to see how a major conference\u2019s code of conduct was deeply flawed and the confidence to approach them with suggestions for how to fix it.
\nIt\u2019s encouraged me to speak frankly about diversity in our communities and how to improve it.
\nIt\u2019s helped me to meet so many incredible women, to share experience and to learn a lot.
\nI finally met others Wikipedians from all over the world. I have a year that I am contributing for Wikipedia and I had never met anyone in person. That motivates me a lot and made me feel proud of my work with WikiAcademy Albania. I\u2019ve created contacts that will lead to exciting and future workshops\/events at our hacker space Open Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the best things about AdaCamp was learning about imposter syndrome. That session was empowering. The belief that one\u2019s work is inferior and one\u2019s achievements and recognition are fraudulent \u2014 in open technology and culture endeavors where public scrutiny of their work is routine.<\/p>\n

Workshop about clean code was so useful thanks to Franzi.The compliments corner was funny and inspiring as well. The discussion about femnisem, women in open culture, non-open culture, code, education, social events and everything else in there, made Adacamp <\/a>the perfect place to be those two days.<\/p>\n

\nNow I know that I want to reach out to other women that identify as \u201cgeek\u201d, \u201cfeminist\u201d or both. I realized that I was among not only amazingly smart women, but also very generous people.
\nIf you\u2019ve never been to a feminist conference, you\u2019re missing out a lot.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never found yourself surrounded by dozens of brilliant, empathetic, creative and determined women, you should consider giving it a try. If you\u2019ve never gone from learning about how open source cloud computing platforms work straight to a discussion of microaggressions and how to deal with them, finishing things off by sharing your favorite feminist response gifs \u2013 well, maybe you should go to AdaCamp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
