The big question is: Why? Even more powerful is: What can each of us do to build a community that is welcoming of contributors from all backgrounds? Jennifer Davidson will shed light on these issues and discuss what ChickTech is doing locally in Portland. Expect actionable steps we can take as a community to increase diversity in tech.</p> <p>Jennifer Davidson is a User Experience Researcher and Designer at Intel. She received a PhD in Computer Science with an emphasis in Human-Computer Interaction from Oregon State University in June 2014. She is the Interim Board President for ChickTech (<a href="http://chicktech.org">http://chicktech.org</a>). Her passions include studying open source communities, designing software that works for humans, and doing outreach to build women in tech communities. Jennifer has given talks at OSCON, Open Source Bridge, Open Source Systems, Code n' Splode, and many academic conferences.</p> <p>Many will head to the Lucky Lab NW at 1945 NW Quimby after the meeting.</p> <p>Rideshares Available</p> <p>See you there!</p> <p>Michael Dexter<br> PLUG Volunteer</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdxlinux.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
