AdaCamp San Francisco: June 8&9
"AdaCamp DC was a fantastic experience, one of the best conferences I've been
to!" - AdaCamp DC attendee
AdaCamp attendees
Applications for AdaCamp San Francisco are still open but closing today! AdaCamp SF is a
two-day unconference for supporters of women in open technology and culture held on
Saturday June 8 & Sunday June 9, 2013, in San Francisco, California. At an
unconference, the topics of conference sessions are chosen by the conference participants
on the day of the conference. Topics may include fan fiction and fan culture, open
education, open source, Wikipedia and related projects, open data, open government,
social justice, recruiting and retaining women, activism, parenting, any intersectional
topics, career development, and of course, feminism.
This year AdaCamp has two tracks. The main track is for people who identify as
significantly female, and includes unconference sessions, an Impostor Syndrome workshop,
tutorials, lightning talks, and a hackathon (several hours for group collaboration on
projects, not necessarily coding or hacking). The allies track is for people of any
gender, and consists of a 2 hour Allies Workshop on Saturday morning, teaching simple ways
to support women in open technology and culture, followed by an unconference for the rest
of the day.
AdaCamp is invitation-only, but we encourage everyone interested in attending to apply.
You do not have to write code, have a job in open tech/culture, be a certain age, or be
anything other than a supporter of women in open tech/culture. We value diversity of all
sorts: age, race, geographical locations, language, sexuality, gender identity,
educational background, hobbies, spiritual or religious beliefs, and other areas. Find
out more about the diversity of previous AdaCamp attendees by reading the final report
for the most recent AdaCamp. Child-feeding parents are welcome. Unfortunately no further
travel funding is available.
If you want to know more about whether AdaCamp SF is right for you, read the final report
from the most recent AdaCamp, AdaCamp DC.
Applications to AdaCamp San Francisco will close in 24 hours on Wednesday May 8 11:59 PM
California time (06:59AM Thursday UTC).
"The experience profoundly changed me. I'm looking into volunteer and
educational opportunities that I would not have considered before attending AdaCamp. And
I really want to share what I'm doing." - AdaCamp attendee
