PHPWomen and DevChix
I am pleased and proud to announce that PHPWomen and DevChix have formed an alliance with each other that will hopefully help to strengthen both sites and their communities by providing mutual support. Working together we will hopefully be able to do much more then we would do apart.
I recently met with one of the founders of DevChix (Desi McAdam) for dinner and conversation. There we talked about our organizations and histories finding we had a huge number of things in common - from talks with others that led to our earliest beginnings to our shared workings to become a 501c3 tax exempt charity and our shared hope to help women come and be active in their respective coding communities. I had a wonderful time and want to thank Desi for taking the time out of her very busy schedule to meet and talk with me.
We at PHPWomen eagerly look forward to working with DevChix and are excited at what we can do together in the future.
