Everyone who has ever been at a hackmeeting, a hacklab or any similar event or place has probably got the impression that computer user's groups are usually comprised of somewhat socially challenged - or at least slightly geeky - male individuals with certain common stereotypical qualities. The programmer, the hardware expert, the system-administrator ... those words probably conjure up some sort of male image in most people's minds.
That's not all there is to it, though. They are out there: The geek girls, the female techies and the media activist women with their customized laptops running this typical computergeek thing called Linux. They have their own user's groups, support networks and hackmeetings, and they become more and more common and widespread.
On this evening we want to introduce you to some of them, and let them tell you what it is like to be a female computergeek, hacktivist or just plain Linux user.
The discussion will be going on live on Friday 3rd of March between 19:00 and 20:00 in the ASCII, and streamed online at freeteam.nl:9000/ascii (mp3 player needed)
