Women in tech

Shouldn't we recruit more women? Anyone know any females interested in
Linux, professional or otherwise? They in turn could recruit guys and
gals. It's not just what you know but who you know.

In the MLH (Major League Hackathons, who runs all the competitive events like Mhacks) we push incredibly hard to recruit young women. This younger generation of code monkeys is much more diverse and accepting than previous ones but the main challenge will be opening up managers to hiring anything other than the stereo type white or Asian male programmer

Did someone say CodeMonkey? http://www.playcodemonkey.com/

My 7-year old daughter is currently on level 45.  I'm a proud dad.  :)

Tristan you literally just saved my life with that link my neighbour has been looking for a way for his son to start coding!

[Joseph Barney]

That's awesome!! Congrats!

[Joseph Barney]

Hmmmm I dunno how to do that other than inviting managers to a hackathon so they can see the talent. Maybe recording it and showing parts of the video at certain events? That's a tough one.

Also try codecombat.com.
