PyLadies
PyLadies is an international mentorship group which focuses on helping more women become active participants in the Python open-source community.[1][2][3] The mission of the group is to create a diverse Python community through outreach, education, conferences and social gatherings. PyLadies also provides funding for women to attend open source conferences. The organization was created in Los Angeles[4] in April 2011 by seven women[5]: Audrey Roy Greenfeld, Christine Cheung, Esther Nam, Jessica Stanton, Katharine Jarmul, Sandy Strong, and Sophia Viklund. The aim of PyLadies is increasing the participation of women in computing. PyLadies became a multi-chapter organization with the founding of the Washington (D.C.)[6] chapter in August 2011. The group currently has more than 40 chapters around the world.[7]
Events
PyLadies has conducted outreach events for both beginners and experienced users.[8][9] PyLadies has conducted hackathons, ladies' nights and workshops for Python enthusiasts.[10]
Activities
PyLadies also runs a mailing list for discussing issues related to gendergap in tech-community and programming in Python.
