The conference brings together students from universities and hi gh schools\, with industry leaders from the private and public sectors t o engage and inspire the next generation of leaders to play an active ro le in shaping the future of computing and technology. \;\n \;\nThe 2013 conference\, to be held in October\, is the second annual event. Our mission is to encourage women to pursue and build successful careers in computing and technology by improving their educational experience a nd engagement with industry leaders. With less than 30% of STEM jobs fi lled by women\, the industry is lacking full representation of the world ’s views. This lack of diversity inhibits industry’s innovation potenti al. Our effort recognizes and empowers women who are part of the comput ing industry and celebrates all who are supporters of them. \;\n \ ;\nIf you are the following\, then you would want to come: \;\nColleg e professionals\, \;\nindustry leaders\, \;\nJob seekers\, \;\n STEM/Technology leaders\, \;\nThought leaders\, \;\nProfessors\,&# 13\;\nTeachers\, \;\nHigh School STEM students(must be accompanied by guardian) \;\n \;\nRegister for an early bird special: \;\nhtt p://www.eventbrite.com/event/3872721414?ref=elink \;\n \;\nTop com panies and universities will be present \;\n \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: technology\, engineering\, computing\, job fair\, women in tech\, STEM\ , college\, career expo\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12 50464952 URL:http://nwrwic.org/ SUMMARY:Northwest Regional Women in Computing 2013 LOCATION:DoubleTree Hotel & Executive Meeting Center Portland - Lloyd Cen ter: 1000 Ne Multnomah St\, Portland OR 97232 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131018T055000Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131022T113000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131022T103000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131018T055000Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131018T055000Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465073 DESCRIPTION:presented by: Ashe Dryden \;\n \;\nabstract: It's been scientifically proven that more diverse communities and workplaces creat e better products and the solutions to difficult problems are more compl ete and diverse themselves. Companies are struggling to find adequate ta lent. So why do we see so few women\, people of color\, and LGBTQ people at our events and on the about pages of our websites? Even more curious ly\, why do 60% of women leave the tech industry within 10 years? Why ar e fewer women choosing to pursue computer science and related degrees th an ever before? Why have stories of active discouragement\, dismissal\, harassment\, or worse become regular news? \;\n \;\nIn this talk w e’ll examine the causes behind the lack of diversity in our communities\ , events\, and workplaces. We’ll discuss what we can do as community mem bers\, event organizers\, and co-workers to not only combat this problem \, but to encourage positive change by contributing to an atmosphere of inclusivity. \;\n \;\nbio: Ashe Dryden is an indie ruby developer living in Madison\, WI. She's been involved with the web in some form or another over the course of the past 12 years. Ashe is an outspoken educ ator for diversity\, inclusiveness\, and empathy. She's currently writin g a book on increasing diversity within companies\, as well as working o n a video series and site to serve as a resource to people who want to g et involved.

The conference brings together students from universities and hi gh schools\, with industry leaders from the private and public sectors t o engage and inspire the next generation of leaders to play an active ro le in shaping the future of computing and technology. \;\n \;\nThe 2014 conference is the third annual event. Our mission is to encourage women to pursue and build successful careers in computing and technology by improving their educational experience and engagement with industry leaders. With less than 30% of STEM jobs filled by women\, the industry is lacking full representation of the world’s views. This lack of dive rsity inhibits industry’s innovation potential. Our effort recognizes a nd empowers women who are part of the computing industry and celebrates all who are supporters of them. \;\n \;\nIf you are the following\ , then you would want to come: \;\n \;\n* College professionals 3\;\n* industry leaders \;\n* Job seekers \;\n* STEM/Technology le aders \;\n* Thought leaders \;\n* Professors \;\n* Teachers \;\n* High School STEM students (must be accompanied by guardian) \;\ n \;\nRegister for an early bird special until March 12th: \;\nhtt ps://www.eventbrite.com/e/northwest-regional-women-in-computing-2014-reg istration-10400188243 \;\n\n\nTags: technology\, engineering\, comput ing\, job fair\, women in tech\, STEM\, college\, career expo\, NWRWIC\, women in computing\, professionals\, conference\, women conference\, pd x\, portland\, technical\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1 250465726 URL:http://nwrwic.org/ SUMMARY:Northwest Regional Women in Computing 2014: Women Pioneering Inno vation LOCATION:DoubleTree Hotel & Executive Meeting Center Portland - Lloyd Cen ter: 1000 Ne Multnomah St\, Portland OR 97232 US SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140115T231501Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140422T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140422T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140115T231501Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140422T163804Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465529 DESCRIPTION:Topic: Refactoring Legacy Codebases \;\n \;\n**Note: Co de-n-Splode (CnS) is a women-focused group.

Here’s what Amazon say’s about the book:& #13\;\n \;\nIn the New York Times bestseller that the Washington Post called "\;Lean In for misfits\,"\; Sophia Amoruso shares how sh e went from dumpster diving to founding one of the fastest-growing retai lers in the world. \;\n \;\nSophia Amoruso spent her teens hitchh iking\, committing petty theft\, and scrounging in dumpsters for leftove r bagels. By age twenty-two she had dropped out of school\, and was brok e\, directionless\, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school--a jo b she'd taken for the health insurance. It was in that lobby that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. \;\n \;\nFlash forward ten years to today\, and she's the founder and executive chairm an of Nasty Gal\, a $100-million-plus fashion retailer. Sophia was never a typical CEO\, or a typical anything\, and she's written #GIRLBOSS for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success\, even when that path is windy as all hell and lined with naysa yers. \;\n \;\n #GIRLBOSS proves that being successful isn't abou t where you went to college or how popular you were in high school. It's about trusting your instincts and following your gut\; knowing which ru les to follow and which to break\; when to button up and when to let you r freak flag fly. \;\n \;\nJean Richardson will be leading the boo k discussion. Jean says about the book\, “As a long time business owner and consultant I was engrossed in what Amoruso had to say about leading a business\, hiring people\, getting things done\, and growing up. She learned the hard way many things that seasoned business owners might ha ve told her—with a 21st Century feminist spin. I admired her wit\, driv e\, candor\, tenacity\, and self- possession. \;\n \;\nThere are lessons for every woman and girl over 12 in this book\, and plenty of l essons for men who want to succeed in business and in life\, as well.

In Daring Greatly\, based o n twelve years of pioneering research\, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cult ural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is\, in trut h\, our most accurate measure of courage. \;\n \;\nSimilarly\, in Being Wrong\, journalist Kathryn Schulz argues that error is the fundame ntal human condition and should be celebrated as such. In this view\, er ror is both a given and a gift – one that can transform our worldviews\, our relationships\, and\, most profoundly\, ourselves. \;\n \;\nD aring Greatly and Being Wrong were made for each other. Join Deeple Pate l and Melody Dawn for a discussion and exploration of these two powerful books and their endless takeaways. Most of us avoid the topics of being wrong and vulnerable\, but these two authors have laid out the undeniab le reasons for why it is so beneficial for us to push past this fear and discomfort. Whether you read one\, both or some portion of these books\ , you are welcome in the conversation. \;\n \;\nCome ready to shar e your unique perspective and learn from others’ experiences. \;\n 3\;\nPDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization.

They become overwhelmed by the enorm ous amount of information to learn and do not know where to start. To re ctify that\, we have a group of women speaking who can demystify some of the tools\, jargon\, and jobs around software: \;\n \;\nPolina Vo rozheykina\, a software engineer at New Relic\, will share her experienc e entering the industry into a far more senior team of 12 engineers. She will cover useful terminology to know\, how to go about asking question s\, and how to begin building broad software expertise. \;\n \;\nA shley Puls\, a distinguished engineer and architect at New Relic\, will cover some useful tools and terminology engineers encounter on a daily b asis. \;\n \;\nElisa Binette\, a Director of Software Engineering at New Relic\, will demystify some of the roles and job titles used in t he technology industry. What’s a full stack\, front end\, or backend eng ineer? What’s a DBA? What are the key differences between a senior\, lea d\, or engineering manager? \;\n \;\nAfterwards\, beginning engine ers should better understand common technology terms and the desired ski lls within each role. They should have a “lay of the land” and feel empo wered to go out and learn. \;\n \;\nAgenda: \;\n5:30 p.m. - Doo rs open \;\n6:00 p.m. - Introduction \;\n6:10 p.m. - Talks begin&# 13\;\n7:00 p.m. - Q&\;A\, networking \;\n7:30 p.m. - Event ends 3\;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nEvent FAQ \;\n \;\nQ: Will there be g ender neutral restrooms? \;\n \;\nA: Yes\, there will be gender ne utral restrooms. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nQ: Is the space ADA acce ssible? \;\n \;\nA: Yes\, the space is ADA accessible. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nQ: Will there be food and drink at this event? \; \n \;\nA: Yes\, food and drink will be provided. \;\n \;\n \ ;\n \;\nQ: What is the parking situation? \;\n \;\nA: We recomm end taking public transportation—the event is nearby multiple Trimet bus and MAX lines—but there are also paid parking sites close to the event. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nQ: Is there any special information that might help me find the entrance? \;\n \;\nA: When you arrive\, ta ke the elevators up to the 27th floor. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nQ: Is there secured bike parking? \;\n \;\nA: No\, secured bike park ing will not be available\, but bike racks are located outside the build ing. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nQ: Should I consider using public tr ansportation? \;\n \;\nA: Yes\, public transportation is best. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nQ: Can I bring my dog? \;\n \;\nA: No\ , we ask that you leave your furry friend home. \;\n \;\n \;\nP urpose: \;\n \;\nPDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organizati on.

It is difficult to break into open s ource for two key reasons. One\, it is community driven technology and m any people do not have the time or capacity to do the unpaid work that i s often required to get involved. Two\, even if you do have the time to contribute\, it can be very difficult and even toxic if you are a woman or minority due to harassment by leaders in that space. These barriers\, along with so many others that underrepresented folks are facing\, make it difficult to have the experience required to obtain sought-after job s at companies doing open source work. \;\n \;\n \;\nTo support this discussion\, our conversation starter for the evening is “how can open source be more accessible to underrepresented communities?” \;\n \;\nThe Summer Soiree will feature a panel discussion followed by ne tworking. \;\n \;\nModerator: Dr. Harriet Nembhard\, School Head o f Mechanical\, Industrial\, and Manufacturing Engineering at Oregon Stat e University \;\n \;\nPanelist: Sage Sharp is a Diversity and Incl usion consultant and the founder of Otter Tech \;\n \;\nPanelist: Esther John is Director of Software Stacks Engineering in the System Sof tware Products at Intel Corporation \;\n \;\nPanelist: Tara Robert son is the Diversity &\; Inclusion Strategic Partner for Mozilla \ ;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nDuring the event\, we’ll have an Activity Tab le where people can get creative.
