Description

The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in their respective fields, representing industrial, academic and government communities. Leading researchers present their current work, while special sessions focus on the role of women in today’s technology fields, including computer science, information technology, research and engineering.

Past Grace Hopper Celebrations have resulted in collaborative proposals, networking, mentoring, and increased visibility for the contributions of women in computing.

Representatives from Mozilla (Lukas and Stormy) are presenting a panel at this year's conference called "What if all women could program?" where we will be discussing the teaching of computer programming specifically to women, using open source languages and technology as well as free & public resources.

There is also an FSOSS booth throughout the conference and an Open Source Day on the last day of the conference. You can see when Stormy and/or Lukas will be holding court at the booth here.

We're looking for contributors as well as potential hires so this is a joint event between recruiting and Engagement.
