Free rails workshops for women in sf
eleddy
Anybody interested in putting something together like this for Plone?
Where are we geographically? I am in san diego, san fran a lot. It
would be great not just to have women teaching, but if we could get
some of the guys who want to help that would be sweet. I'm sure we
could find donated space - what we really need is time.
Not only would something like this be a contribution to women in
plone, but also to the plone community in general.
Thoughts?

As for Plone — I'd be interested in a free workshop for sure, and something medium-level that's above basic intro. I'd be interested in seeing all the capabilities, and learning my way around the tool itself.
